Bitcoin’s roughly 40% price recovery from its late-June low below $58,000 to levels above $81,000 has sparked debate among analysts regarding the state of the market cycle, according to discussions on the WuBlockchain Podcast.

Investor didier described the price increase as the opening phase of a new bull market, pointing to Bitcoin reclaiming its 200-day moving average as a key indicator. He also suggested that debt-funding costs above 5% may prompt investors to build early allocations as yields fluctuate between 4.7% and 5%.

Conversely, macro hedge fund portfolio manager Griffin Ardern argued that Bitcoin remains in the middle-to-late stages of a bear market. Ardern characterized the recent gains as a short squeeze following thin trading and compressed options volatility, stating that a confirmed bull trend requires clearer signals regarding dollar liquidity and Treasury issuance.
