Technical signals echo 2022. Price action resembles the last bear market structure, with weak spot demand and failed bounces. Details
Analysts say bear drawdowns are compressing. One study maps the major cycle declines as 93% after 2011, 87% after 2013, 84% after 2017, and 78% after 2021. Data
- 2011 top to low 93%
- 2013 top to low 87%
- 2017 top to low 84%
- 2021 top to low 78%
The same analysis extrapolates a “worst case” 70% drawdown in the next bear phase. From an assumed 2025 peak of $126,080, that implies ~$37,000. It’s not a bottom call, just a scenario. Method
Some technicians track a 2022 playbook. They mark a February bear trap near $60,000 and a bull trap into ~$74,000, mirroring the $18k bounce and $21k bull trap in 2022. If the analogy holds, the next leg could reach ~$50,000. Chart $74k move
