- Popular analyst PlanB says Bitcoin will never experience an 80% price drop.
- Other market analysts do not rule out the possibility however.
The benchmark cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is currently down around 30% from its all-time high of just under $69,000 set in November. While many analysts who projected that Bitcoin would reach a $100,000 price tag by the end of the year have seemingly given up hope, pseudonymous analyst and investor PlanB remains highly optimistic.
In his latest take on where the price of Bitcoin is headed, PlanB has stated that it isn’t likely that $69,000 is the top of the market for this Bitcoin halving cycle. To the professional trader, $69k cannot be the top because it would mean that a cyclical bear market – a situation where Bitcoin prices and investors’ moods remain low for an average of slightly more than 400 days – would be able to drag prices 80% downwards. Should this occur, the price of Bitcoin would be around $14,000 which is below both the ATH high price of 2017 and the 200 weeks moving average price of $18,000.
While PlanB’s stance can be supported by the recent observations that the price volatility of Bitcoin has been reducing as the market seems to be maturing and going mainstream of late, it has still been disputed by many market participants. One observer, BlockBytes, took issue with his saying that a drop below the 200WMA price could “never” happen, pointing out that the fact that it has never happened does not mean it could never happen.
Other analysts think otherwise
Meanwhile, some market analysts also watching the 200 WMA have warned that the price could potentially crash by as much as 80% from current levels to trade at around a multi-year low of around $10,000. According to Louis Navellier, the founder, and chairman of a $2.5 billion asset management firm, Navellier & Associates, Bitcoin could see an 80% downward trend if the flagship crypto-asset forms a double-top pattern.
The veteran investor fears that a double top could signal the end of any bull aspirations and send the price of Bitcoin spiraling downwards without an obvious base of support. His fear is necessitated by two main factors: his fear that Bitcoin is in a bubble, and the fact that the FED’s tapering of bonds could make investors risk-averse thereby making the price of stocks including Bitcoin crashing.
“The Fed is tapering, and this should create a correction in risk assets, of which bitcoin is a part. The more the Fed tapers, the more volatility we should see in both stocks and bonds — and yes, bitcoin, too,” he said in a recent note to Business Insider.
The price of Bitcoin seems to be stabilizing in the market. Bitcoin is currently trading at around $48,000, up around 0.47% on the day and 2.06% in the last 7 days.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such excellent info being shared freely out there.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
I like this site very much, Its a very nice post to read and obtain info . “One man’s religion is another man’s belly laugh.” by Robert Anson Heinlein.
of course like your web site but you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the truth on the other hand I will certainly come again again.

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
Everything is very open and very clear explanation of issues. was truly information. Your website is very useful. Thanks for sharing.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
