This market cap has fallen 43% since the start of the year, which is equivalent to $1 trillion leaving the market.
43% means it can fall more. Historically Bitcoin has more than 80% falls in previous bear markets. I don't imply that Bitcoin will repeat 80% correction in this bear market. It might or might not have it but it is a view from past cycles.
For those of you who have been on this forum for a long time, I would like to ask about the current state of the crypto market. Does this mark the start of a protracted bearish cycle. Like in the 2018-2020 season?
Market can change its sentiment and direction any time. Because if everyone are bullish, market will turn to bearish. If everyone is bearish and have very negatively sentiment, market will turn to be bullish. Leverages as long and short and future markets are helpful to turn market around from bull to bear and bear to bull.
Turning points appear and are confirmed if you see big moves and spikes in trading volume.
Most likely, in the coming summer months, the bearish period in the cryptocurrency market will continue. In summer, we almost never see a good rise in prices. In addition, given that the bearish period began last year, it is very unlikely that prices will resume growth in the summer. Therefore, it is most likely not worth hoping for positive changes in this market until autumn. Lately, I'm not even in a hurry to look at price dynamics because of this. Of course, there are always exceptions. But the current unfavorable situation with the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine and the subsequent tough sanctions that are only getting worse, the threat of starvation due to the blocking of grain in Ukrainian ports, all this does not contribute to the growth of the cryptocurrency market.
