VanEck said eight of its 12 Bitcoin capitulation signals are currently flashing, according to a post shared by Bitcoin News on X. The asset manager also said that all 12 indicators have entered capitulation territory at some point over the past three months. Even so, VanEck expects the current Bitcoin pullback to be shallower than past bear-market declines of 78% to 94%. It attributed that view to spot ETF demand, a broader base of institutional holders, and the absence of major failures like Celsius, Three Arrows Capital, and FTX. Bitcoin is currently down 49% from its peak.
