Bitcoin's Rebound Isn't as Strong as It Seems: Watch These Warning Signs

Binance Research reports Bitcoin's 54.2% drawdown appears milder than past declines, but adjusted for volatility, it's comparable. Historically, rebounds from shallow drawdowns often fail. Bitcoin's current 35.6% drop suggests a similar outcome. Crypto equity inflows surged to $163M last week, with Circle, MicroStrategy, and BitMiner attracting significant investment.
