It also showed that market activity appears more consistent with consolidation and accumulation.<\/p>\n<p>That assessment broadly matches Bitcoin&#8217;s recent price behavior. Despite selling pressure linked to renewed conflict involving Iran and the United States and earlier concerns over Strategy&#8217;s Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/strategy-is-selling-bitcoin-again-bearish-warning-or-bullish-opportunity\/\">sales<\/a>the cryptocurrency has fought its way back <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-crashes-and-burns-again-bitcoin-rebounds-from-62k-market-watch\/\">close<\/a> to $63,000, having found itself near $61,000 on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Whether those rebounds mark the start of a durable recovery or simply another pause within the wider bear market is still an open question, but for now, Armstrong&#8217;s poll shows that there&#8217;s little consensus, even among crypto&#8217;s most engaged participants.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/brian-armstrong-asks-if-bitcoin-bottom-is-in-crypto-community-cant-agree\/\">Brian Armstrong Asks if Bitcoin Bottom Is In, Crypto Community Can&#8217;t Agree<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Bookmark our site for daily insights, market predictions, and expert trading strategies.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 <strong>Explore More:<\/strong> Check our sections for in-depth guides, exchange reviews, and blockchain technology deep-dives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udcf0 Exclusive Crypto News &#038; Analysis: Stay ahead with the latest developments in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. \ud83d\udcc8 Market Update: Real-time price movements, technical analysis, and trading signals.
