The post Bitcoin Crash Looming? BTC Price At Risk of Dropping 50% – Here’s Why appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin’s recent surge close to $90K brought bullishness into the market, but the significant 4% dip has left the crypto market on edge. Many analysts are now warning of a possible price correction, especially as retail interest in Bitcoin hits new highs. Notably, chart analyst Ali Martinez issued a caution, reminding investors of past patterns where high search interest around Bitcoin often led to corrections of 30% to 50%.
In addition to this, recent reports also suggest that Bitcoin could face a pullback soon, based on historical patterns and current market trends.
Bitcoin’s Price Could Drop To 50%
According to Martinez, increased attention from retail investors can bring new capital into the market but also hints that the market may be nearing a peak. He noted that in 2021, major spikes in Bitcoin’s search popularity were often followed by significant price corrections ranging from 26% to as much as 50%.
Not bearish, just a word of caution!

His analysis suggests that when new, inexperienced buyers flood the market, Bitcoin’s price might become vulnerable to sharp reversals, as seasoned investors often start selling off during such moments of hype.
Martinez’s warning comes at a crucial moment, as Bitcoin’s swift rise toward $90,000 recently hit a setback with a quick dip. Thus Martinez’s message highlights that investors should tread carefully in this phase.
Rather than buying in solely based on price momentum and popular interest, he advises a balanced, cautious approach.
BTC On The Verge Of A Pullback
Bitcoin’s recent rise has brought excitement, but veteran Bitcoin critic Peter Brandt is urging caution. Brandt highlights that Bitcoin’s price swings are a reminder of its inherent volatility, and he warns that a pullback could be looming.
Historically, Bitcoin’s price dips have eased since 2015, yet the latest bull cycle (starting November 2022) still saw a 33.5% drop over 34 weeks. However, he sees a similar correction that might be coming soon as the bitcoin price hits new ATH.
On the other hand, he even believes that one day Bitcoin could become a global standard of value, making other assets look volatile in comparison and will surly touch the $200k mark. But for now, corrections are part of the game.
Veteran analyst Peter Brandt emphasizes Bitcoin’s volatility, suggesting a pullback is likely, even as he believes Bitcoin could eventually reach $200,000 in the long term.
