Bitcoin Years for a Silver Lining Despite the Drop in Its Price

CryptoCompare, a crypto researcher, shared historical data that includes the max drawdown of Bitcoin in the previous bear markets and the present volatility. This data shows that the price still needs to hit the ground.

In the current bear markets, which started in 2013 and 2017, these recommend that traders might still encounter a further drop, according to the report of CryptoCompare on Thursday, November 3. The biggest digital asset witnessed drops of 87% and 83%, lasting 406 and 364 sessions, respectively.

Bitcoin dropped 73%, leaving room for this year to be the worst drop in the history of this cryptocurrency.

It will start sell-side pressure across big asset classes, increasing volatility and possibly moving downwards.

Riskier assets got stuck in the gutter this 2022 when central banks across the globe increased interest rates to press down inflation, but it impacted cryptocurrency a lot. Bitcoin is now trading at around $20,000 from its $69,000 price. However, the crypto analyst stated that volumes didn’t deflate as much as when they did back in 2017.

On the bright side, the ongoing bear market performed better than the recent one despite the dwindling volatility of Bitcoin. The crypto analyst stated that there’s a silver lining for this cryptocurrency.

The current bear market might look more vicious than the recent one, considering some industries, like Three Arrows Capital, Celsius Network, and Terra, fastened under the market crash’s weight.
