Since the sharp pullback in the price of Bitcoin<\/a> from its all-time high of $126,000, speculations about a bear market phase have significantly stirred up in the community. After weeks of steady downside price action, several key on-chain indicators are beginning to show that BTC has flipped into a bear market phase.<\/p>\n

Network Activity Slows Down Amid Waning Bitcoin Price Action<\/h2>\n

With Bitcoin\u2019s price persistently demonstrating bearish performance, on-chain activity <\/a>appears to have undergone a crucial shift. What appeared to be a typical decline is now exposing more profound shifts in on-chain activity, long-term holdings, and traders\u2019 behavior.<\/p>\n

Presently, Bitcoin\u2019s network activity is entering a noticeably calmer phase, which provides a clear picture of the market\u2019s current status<\/a>. In the quick-take post<\/a>, GugaOnChain revealed the BTC Bull-Bear Cycle indicator and the MA_30D below the MA_365D (-0.52%), both of which confirm that the BTC market remains in a bear market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the platform\u2019s analysis of the current market state is mainly centered on the Bitcoin Highly Active Address metric. This key metric points to a slowdown in the BTC Network. A look at the chart reveals a steady drop in the highly active BTC addresses, reinforcing lower speculative activity and suggesting that higher volatility lies ahead.<\/p>\n

Following the sharp pullback, highly active BTC addresses<\/a> have declined from 43,300 to 41,500, indicating that large players are exiting the market, consistent with a defensive phase. Historically, whenever highly active addresses shrike, it signals a retreat by traders and institutions, which supports the transition into quiet accumulation phases that lead to future volatility.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the data shows that the total number of transactions on the network has fallen from 460,000 to 438,000 over the past few days. GugaOnChain highlighted that when there is a lower transaction count, there is a reduction in speculative use.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that dropping transaction counts were an obvious symptom of waning speculative interest in previous down cycles, and the Bitcoin network<\/a> operated at reduced volumes until fresh catalysts emerged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another aspect that has experienced a decline is the network fees. Data shows that the fees fell from 233,000 to 230,000, suggesting a less congested network. During previous bear markets, lower fees often coincided with periods of weaker demand, showing that users were not vying for block space and fostering a low-pressure environment.<\/p>\n

How Does The Current Trend Go Against The 2018 Market Cycle<\/h2>\n

According to the platform, the current data from the metric is similar to that observed in the 2018 bear market<\/a>. During the period, there were also fewer active addresses, fading transactions, lower fees, and the retreat of major players, as seen in the current state of the market.<\/p>\n

However, the Bitcoin<\/a> user base today is larger, with over 800,000 compared to the 600,000 in 2018; a sign of structural resilience. Meanwhile, low activity frequently precedes increased volatility, just as it did in the past.<\/p>\n

GugaOnChain stated that the indicators confirm a defensive scenario, and future comparisons with 2018 indicate that periods of low activity typically precede more volatility. Nonetheless, the larger user base of today indicates increased ecological resilience.<\/p>\n
