Bitcoin Is Flashing All the Signs That It May Have Finally Bottomed. Is It Time to Buy Bitcoin Again?

Bitcoin has rallied above $78,000 and may be exiting its bear market that started in October 2025. VanEck's analysis shows 8 of 12 cyclical bottom indicators have fired, suggesting a new bull phase may be approaching. The bear market has lasted 10 months (average is 11), mining difficulty has dropped 18% from its peak, and Bitcoin's decline of 54% from peak is more moderate than historical 80% declines, reflecting increased institutionalization. Analysts recommend starting to buy Bitcoin in small regular intervals rather than timing the market.
