It felt like absolutely nothing was happening. > > Can't really explain it, but I get that exact same feeling with where BTC is now. > > Atleast 90% of the bear market is done. > > — Killa (@KillaXBT) July 12, 2026 **Read Also: Bitcoin Has Not Left the $60,000-$70,000 Range in 307 Days: What Is Happening?** *Photo: KateStock / Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [ETHE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHE.US.md) - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [XRPR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XRPR.US.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [XRP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XRP.US.md) - [FETH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FETH.US.md) - [ETHA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHA.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [GDOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDOG.US.md) - [XRPZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XRPZ.US.md) - [BWOW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BWOW.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [CETH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CETH.US.md) - [ETHW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHW.US.md) - [GXRP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GXRP.US.md) - [TDOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TDOG.US.md) - [DOJE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DOJE.US.md) - [TXXD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TXXD.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [BTCE.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCE.DE.md) - [03008.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03008.HK.md) - [03042.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03042.HK.md) - [03430.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03430.HK.md) - [.DJI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.DJI.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [.NDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.NDX.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Amboss Opens Affiliate Program: Earn Recurring Bitcoin Commissions by Growing Bitcoin Payments](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296124824.md) - [Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR) Terminates Business Combination, Team Continues Pursuing Active Bitcoin Treasury Management | CEPO Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296540800.md) - [Fundstrat Sees 30% Swing In Bitcoin’s Price](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296239209.md) - [Bitcoin lands on the same custody rails Citi uses for equities and bonds](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296272222.md) - [LQWD Technologies CEO to Speak at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong | LQWDF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296496835.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
