Bitcoin (BTC-USD) hovered around $67,200 on Tuesday, on the brink of either snapping a five-month losing streak or extending losses for the longest period in the token's history.

"BTC has never recorded 6 consecutive monthly declines in its 17-year history," Compass Point analyst Ed Engel wrote.

After declining for five straight months from October to February, bitcoin was trading within 1% of February's $67,000 closing price, the analyst noted.

Bitcoin has shown more resilience than equities as the S&P 500 (^GSPC) has declined roughly 6% over the past month, while gold (GC=F) has dropped about 10%.

Although the token seemed overdue for a relief rally, "blockchain data still indicates bearish flows which increases our confidence that BTC retests the $60k lows," Engel wrote.

"March's resilience looks like a textbook relief rally within a broader crypto winter," he added.

Fundstrat head of digital assets Sean Farrell has also remained unconvinced of bitcoin's recent resilience.

"I still remain measured here," Farrell said in a client video on Monday night. "I think it's still a good place to preserve capital, maintain dry powder, stay nimble, and look for things to change in a more conclusive direction."

Meanwhile, Bernstein analysts recently noted that the token may finally have reached a low point.

"Bitcoin looks bottomed," Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani wrote in a note last week. The firm reaffirmed its $150,00 price target for the end of 2026.

The analyst pointed to investors reentering into exchange-traded funds in recent weeks as ETFS now hold more than 6% of the supply. Digital asset Treasury giant Strategy (MSTR) has also remained a strong buyer, currently holding at least 3.6% of total supply.
