Real Vision Chief Crypto Analyst Jamie Coutts said that Bitcoin may be approaching the final stages of its current bear market, but the downturn is not yet technically over. According to Coutts, some signals emerging from long-term indicators suggest that selling pressure and negative momentum are beginning to weaken.
The Bitcoin price is trading approximately 50 percent below its all-time high of $126,100 recorded in October 2025. Coutts described the current price movement as a “typical bear market,” noting that Bitcoin’s volatility has decreased by about 50 percent compared to the previous market cycle.
According to the analyst, the decrease in volatility suggests that the current bear market may not be as severe as in the past. However, Coutts cautioned against assuming the market will repeat past cycles exactly, noting that all of the trend indicators being followed are still significantly bearish.
Coutts stated that bullish divergences are beginning to appear in long-term momentum indicators. While noting that this suggests a slowdown in negative momentum, the analyst added that these signals do not necessarily mean Bitcoin has technically exited a bear market.
Coutts stated that tightening global liquidity conditions, as well as deterioration in on-chain demand, played a significant role in Bitcoin’s previous decline, and indicated that demand indicators need to strengthen again for a sustainable recovery.
Coutts, however, takes a more cautious approach to long-term price predictions, stating that he is skeptical of expectations that Bitcoin will reach $1 million by 2030. The analyst considers a rise in BTC to the $200,000 to $250,000 range within the next two to three years a more realistic scenario.
Coutts also argued that the Bitcoin community needs to address the potential threats posed by quantum computers more openly before 2027. Noting that preparing, testing, and implementing large-scale protocol updates can take approximately five years, Coutts called for early action against potential security risks.
