Every now and then bitcoin price enters unrealistic levels which would make it unstable, eventually that bubble has to pop and price has to come back to normal for it to become stable and realistic again. It is defined by comparing the current price with intrinsic value.
* When price goes way above the intrinsic value -> it enters a bubble
* When price goes way below the intrinsic value -> it enters a reverse bubble
Reverse bubbles are more common than you'd think but since their burst is not as catastrophic as the bubble bursts they go unnoticed. For example in a bubble like what we had at the start of 2018 price dropped the bubble pop from the peak ($20k) down to more realistic level of about $8k in only 4 weeks, and that's a massive bubble that popped not a small one.
We've had many reverse bubbles too. The biggest one was
at the end of 2018 that "reverse popped" after 5 months.
The most recent example is from early 2020 when out of nowhere with a large FUD campaign price went as low as $3850 and this reverse bubble took about 5 weeks to reverse pop.
Now we're in yet another large FUD campaign and a moderately large reverse bubble with its bottom at $30k. How long is it going to take for this
reverse bubble to
reverse pop?
A little comparison of the two recent reverse bubbles:
