Bitcoin Magazine, citing a new CryptoQuant report, said Bitcoin’s recent advance is showing signs of slowing as traders start taking profits. The report still characterizes the broader backdrop as a bull market, but it warns that a healthy correction could be coming.

Bitcoin’s price recently stood at $82,939, down nearly 4% over a seven-day period, after reaching an eight-month high of $87,251 last week, according to the outlet. CryptoQuant attributed the bull-market call to Bitcoin crossing above its 365-day moving average, which it described as a definitive technical signal based on prior cycles.

The report also pointed to short-term trader behavior, saying the coins held for one to three months appear to be in focus as momentum cools. Bitcoin Magazine noted that this profit-taking activity was among the factors behind its pause call for the rally, while still leaving the longer-term bull-market framing intact.
