Long-term capital accumulates above $78K
Analysis indicates that the realized price, or average acquisition cost, for these permanent holders has reached approximately $78,520. This suggests that long-term-oriented capital is absorbing market supply even at relatively elevated price levels, effectively rotating ownership from short-term traders to stronger hands. Market experts note that a significant downturn, or a true “crypto winter,” would likely occur only if BTC breaks below this realized cost basis.
Short-term factors such as a potential U.S. government shutdown, equity market corrections, and elevated premiums in the South Korean market could trigger temporary volatility. However, the accumulation trend underscores growing institutional conviction and a strengthening BTC foundation.
Liquidity expansion supports recovery potential
The market is also entering a phase of liquidity expansion, driven by expectations of future U.S. interest rate cuts, the end of quantitative tightening (QT), and a rising M2 money supply. These macroeconomic conditions suggest that the current cycle may experience a faster recovery in price momentum compared to previous prolonged downturns.
Despite near-term uncertainties, Bitcoin’s ongoing accumulation by permanent holders and improved liquidity conditions signal resilience, positioning BTC for potential upward momentum in the medium term. Analysts suggest that monitoring the realized price floor will be critical in assessing market stability and the depth of any corrections.
Further reinforcing the bullish case, on-chain indicators also point to a potential trend reversal. In an earlier analysis dated April 13, CryptoQuant contributor Joao Wedson highlighted a narrowing gap between Bitcoin’s futures and spot prices on Binance—referred to as the perpetual-spot gap. This contraction often signals a shift in market sentiment and may suggest a transition from consolidation to upward momentum.

CoreWeave's quarterly report hits record highs, but Bernstein and HSBC still maintain "sell" ratings
The main concerns focus on three major issues: management claims an annual price of $20-25 million per megawatt, while actual financial data shows only $9.2 million; independent calculations by two institutions both indicate a financing gap of about $33 billion; by 2028, the market will see an influx of 55 gigawatts of new computing power, 20 times CoreWeave’s own capacity. With current debt at $46.9 billion and equity only $4 billion, and no free cash flow within this decade—the question of whether its scarce performance can last until the loans are repaid is something even strong quarterly reports cannot answer.
The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.
The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.
