Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing a broader bear market alongside other cryptocurrency markets. This is the general consensus. Nevertheless, bloomberg I ask you to be different. A media company recently said that, contrary to popular belief, BTC is still in a bull market right now, but is trading at a discount.
Bloomberg Intelligence Report Says Bitcoin Bull Market Continues
Bloomberg Intelligence released a report on Tuesday analyzing global financial conditions. This report looks at the current state of the traditional financial and crypto markets, especially BTC. BTC is still in a bull market, according to a report shared by Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodity Strategist Mike McGlone.

The report notes that while the asset is still in a “stretched” bull market, it is trading at a discount. According to Bloomberg, measures taken by the Federal Reserve to combat rising inflation are having a negative impact on risk assets. The report further argued that the cryptocurrency market would recover once the turmoil from the Fed’s tightening subsides.
vice versa, bloomberg believes the oil market has entered a full-blown bear market. The report highlights oil’s recent underperformance and points to growing suspicions of a bear market as it falls below its 2008 high. Additionally, Bloomberg argued that the crude oil market could contribute to BTC’s recovery process.
BTC is currently in a delicate position below the $20,000 support
It is important to note that Bloomberg Intelligence made a similar claim for BTC in May 2021. BTC wiped out all previous gains and dropped 45% to a low of $34,000 in May. Panic spread throughout the community, but Bloomberg Intelligence remained bullish.

According to a 2021 report also shared by McGlone, BTC was only in a discounted bull market. The report also highlights Bitcoin’s superiority over traditional stocks. BTC then held another rally that year in November where he reached a new ATH above $68,000.
Bloomberg report looks bullish on BTC despite growing bearishness in the market. As of the time of the report, Bitcoin is currently trading at $19,407, down 0.51% over the past 24 hours. Assets have broken below the $20,000 support and are currently in a delicate position. What happens in the next few days will greatly contribute to the direction of the asset from here.
