Bitcoin currently demonstrates moderate fundamental health with a Composite Fundamental Score (CFS) of 5.76/10, representing a 14% decline from the previous week (6.70/10).

Despite these challenges, Bitcoin maintains exceptional strength in development activity, security, and market positioning.
Bitcoin's fundamental analysis reveals a MODERATE-STRONG rating (6.15/10) at a critical inflection point. The asset is testing the 85th percentile cost basis at $109,000—a "make-or-break" level that has historically determined near-term price direction. While core fundamentals remain robust (exceptional security, development, and on-chain accumulation), extreme fear sentiment (F&G Index: 29) and declining network activity have weakened the overall score by 11.52% week-over-week.
