Despite growing optimism that Bitcoin has reached a cycle low, historical cycles suggest another leg down could still be ahead. While rising institutional involvement may reduce the severity of the downturn, a chart shared by a top crypto analyst suggests the cryptocurrency could still be headed for a bottom below $30,000 before a sustained recovery begins. Bitcoin Cycle Pattern Points To Possible Deeper Low The analyst explains that Bitcoin has followed a repeating pattern across major market cycles, where strong rallies are followed by very deep price declines. In previous cycles, Bitcoin fell about 83.90% after the 2017 peak and about 77.91% after the 2021 peak. These past moves are used as a guide for understanding the current market structure. Related Reading: Analyst Calls Out Stagnant Logic Being Used On XRP, Predicts When Price Will Rally To $300 In the present cycle, Bitcoin climbed above $120,000 during the 2025 bull run before entering a decline. At the time of the analysis, the price was in the low-$60,000 range. The main point being made is that if Bitcoin were to fall by a similar percentage as in earlier cycles, the final bottom could be much lower than current levels. A similar type of decline, around 78.92%, would place a potential low below $30,000. This is not presented as a prediction, but as a possible outcome if the market follows its historical pattern. The analyst also highlights that Bitcoin tends to move within a long-term upward channel, with past bear-market lows forming near the lower edge of that range. Based on this structure, the argument suggests that the market may still be in the middle of its correction phase, and a deeper drop is still possible before a final bottom is reached. Institutions Change The Equation Yet the analyst does not believe history will repeat perfectly. While the chart illustrates that past cycles often erased close to 80% of value from their highs, he argues that the market structure has evolved. Unlike earlier cycles, the current environment includes substantial institutional participation. Large investment firms, exchange-traded funds, and corporate treasury allocations have introduced new sources of demand that were largely absent during the 2018 and 2022 bear markets. From the analyst’s perspective, that growing institutional presence should gradually reduce volatility.

Based on that framework, a bottom of around $52,000 becomes the preferred target rather than a collapse below $30,000. The outlook also includes a bold forecast that October could mark the beginning of a new bull market. For now, the chart presents two competing possibilities. Historical cycle behavior suggests a destination below $30,000, while the analyst’s adjusted model points to a shallower decline near $52,000. The gap between those outcomes highlights the question dominating Bitcoin’s market today: will institutional capital rewrite the rules, or will history have the final word?
