Bitcoin’s bull market is intact, but key levels signal risk, says Galaxy Digital analyst
Bitcoin’s bull market is holding strong, but a slip under $100,000 could spell trouble, Galaxy Digital’s head of research Alex Thorn told Cointelegraph.
“I think the bull market is structurally intact, but it’s at risk,” Thorn said, noting that the market is at a “pivot point” where sentiment could shift quickly. “If you were to lose 100K now, I think it would create a lot of anxiety that could put that structural bull market in jeopardy.”
Despite the massive Oct. 10 liquidation, he insists that the pullback was not driven by Bitcoin’s fundamentals. “Nothing about Bitcoin’s drop… has been fundamental about Bitcoin,” he said. “It’s really trading like a macro asset.”
Thorn said that while short-term volatility remains, the long-term structure of the market is supported by growing institutional demand. “We’re sort of entering this post-100K era where you’re not quite early,” he said. “Now you have this staircase — the growing passive bid for Bitcoin.”
He also dismissed the idea that Bitcoin still follows its historic four-year cycle. “I don’t believe that. It just looks different,” he said. “We’re building a stronger base characterized by lower realized volatility, more institutional ownership, and slower passive accumulation.”

Bank of America's chief strategist Hartnett maintains a risk-averse stance, pushing the entry window back to next spring. The US Dollar Index has hit a new yearly high, and combined with high oil prices and persistent inflation, none of his three entry conditions have been met. He now expects the US dollar to peak between February and March next year, with the end of the global rate hike cycle delayed until the Federal Reserve's meeting in April. Currently, risk assets are "too expensive to go long, but also difficult to short due to protective measures."
