Analysis of past Bitcoin lowdowns

Previous percentage drawdowns ranged from -93% to -83%, and the current “live” drawdown of -69% suggests that it needs to drop further before reaching the bottom. ..

By examining the percentage declines in sequence, you can see that the serious declines are gradually diminishing over each period. If the same pattern is played this time, a drawdown of about -80% may occur. This will bring Bitcoin to a bottom of about $ 13,800.

In addition, the above pattern shows that BTC becomes less volatile over time.

For the length of each drawdown period, the most extended period was the 2013-2015 phase, which is 410 days. However, there are no identifiable patterns extracted from the data.
