Bitcoin’s demand backdrop has weakened sharply, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, who said an on-chain gauge of apparent demand has fallen to its most bearish reading of the year. Darkfost, posting on X under the handle @Darkfost_Coc, shared a CryptoQuant chart showing Bitcoin Apparent Demand on a 30-day sum basis falling deep into negative territory. The analyst said the metric is now approaching minus 147,000 BTC, marking its weakest level since the beginning of 2026. “Bitcoin’s Apparent Demand has just reached its most negative level since the beginning of the year,” Darkfost wrote. “With an estimate now approaching -147,000 BTC, we have to go back to December 2025 to find market sentiment this bearish.” Apparent Demand Turns Deeply Negative The chart tracks Bitcoin’s apparent demand alongside price, showing a transition from strongly positive readings through parts of mid-2025 to prolonged negative demand in late 2025 and again in 2026. The latest drop is notable because it comes after Bitcoin’s price recovered from its early-2026 lows, suggesting that the rebound has not been matched by a clear improvement in structural spot demand. Related Reading: Bitcoin LTH Supply Surge Does Not Reflect Real Demand — Here’s Why Darkfost described Apparent Demand as “the difference between new BTC issuance and the amount of supply that has remained inactive for more than one year.” In practical terms, the metric is intended to assess whether accumulation from longer-term holders is strong enough to absorb newly issued Bitcoin. “In other words, this metric helps estimate whether structural accumulation is strong enough to absorb the new supply created by the network,” the analyst wrote. That interpretation frames the current reading as more than a short-term sentiment gauge. If apparent demand is deeply negative, it suggests that the market is not showing enough underlying absorption to offset issuance and support a more stable bullish phase. Futures Momentum Faces A Spot Demand Problem Darkfost’s core argument is that Bitcoin’s rally structure may be vulnerable if derivatives activity is doing too much of the work. Futures markets can push price higher, accelerate liquidations and amplify directional moves, but they do not necessarily represent durable accumulation. “This development suggests that demand continues to gradually contract,” Darkfost said. “Without a meaningful recovery in spot demand, it becomes difficult to imagine Bitcoin sustaining a durable rally purely through the momentum driven by futures markets.” Related Reading: Glassnode Says Bitcoin Options Traders Are Still Positioned For Trouble The point is especially relevant in a market where price can move quickly on leverage, positioning and liquidity shifts. A futures-led move may still produce sharp upside, but Darkfost argued that sustained bullish phases generally require a firmer spot foundation. “Futures can support short term momentum and amplify price movements,” the analyst wrote, “but sustainable bullish phases generally require genuine spot demand, as derivatives alone do not allow the market to build a stable and solid foundation.” Bearish Signal, Long-Term Setup? The analyst did not frame the latest reading as purely negative. While the short-term implication is bearish, Darkfost noted that heavily pessimistic demand environments have historically been worth monitoring for long-term investors. “That said, even if this situation appears relatively bearish in the short term, these types of environments have historically also created interesting opportunities for long term investors capable of remaining patient,” the analyst wrote.
