Bitcoin (BTC) threatens to “purge further” as realized losses in the 2026 bear market fail to beat records.

Key points:

Bitcoin realized losses have not yet surpassed the 2022 total despite market cap being higher.
History suggests that a fresh round of capitulation should occur before a bear-market bottom appears.
Retail investor conviction is still "remarkably high" despite new macro lows.
