“Not Time to Get Too Excited Yet”, Pundit Warns Bitcoin Could Still Face Deeper Correction
Scott Melker, the host of The Wolf of All Streets podcast and crypto trader, has cautioned investors against getting too excited by Bitcoin’s recent pump, suggesting that the crypto asset could still togi i lalo.
In a newsletter to more than 800k Twitter followers, the pundit attempted to measure the asset’s “possible bottom” by illustrating five of the worst Bitcoin corrections in history. These included the Nov 2013 – Jan 2015 (-86.9%); Dec 2017 – Dec 2018 (-84.12%); Apr 2013 (-82.65%); June 2019 – Mar 2020 (-72.26%) and the April 2021 – June 2021(-55.95%) bear markets.
According to him, considering Bitcoin’s price has dropped by approximately 76.59% in the past year, it would have to drop another 48.84% to reach April 2013 bear market levels. This would mean $220B, or half of the current Bitcoin market capitalization, being wiped from the market, which he said was “unlikely”.
"Mo Bitcoin to go an inch lower than the current bottom at $15,800, it would need to drop 31.2% from current levels. Still a sizeable drop.” Sa ia faaopoopo.
Le Saosaoa
The pundit warned investors against getting too excited, commenting on this month’s pump, urging them to drop the “Bitcoin up only” assumption.
"Ae, ou te manatu e leʻi oʻo i le taimi e faʻafiafia tele ai. Ua na o le masina muamua lava o le tausaga ua matou iloa o le a oʻo mai faasaʻoga ma o le tele o faʻasalalauga e masani ona oʻo mai i maketi urosa, " O lana tala lea.
I le aso 25 o Ianuari, Bitcoin surged as high as $23,800 before tracing its move to settle below the $23,250 resistance.
E tusa ai ma le tala a Melker, o lena tetee e mafai ona avea ma se faʻalavelave faigata mo le tau, ma se vaʻa tele i luga o le 4-itula siata o loʻo fautua mai ai o le eria o se "se faʻatau tupe mo pupuu".
“Ou te alu atu ma le faaeteete,” sa ia ta’ua, ma faamamafa atu e itiiti lava se mea e fai sei vagana ua tapunia moligao i luga po o lalo ifo o lena tetee. “E ui atonu e le tupu, ae o loo ou sailia pea se faasaʻoga,” sa ia faaauau.
Bitcoin’s Resilience Is Improving
Melker noted that Bitcoin had become more resilient over the years, considering the sheer number of catalysts and fa'ama'i fa'atatau ile maketi behind its drop compared to other bear markets. He also noted that the pioneer cryptocurrency had attracted a floor of die-hard believers who would increasingly make it harder to drive Bitcoin’s price drastically by offering adequate liquidity.
I ana upu;
"If we are being honest with ourselves, we should feel lucky if Bitcoin does not drop more than it did in 2017...The catalysts for this current correction are far more serious. This proves that Bitcoin is strengthening over time and will probably continue to soften its gains and losses in each cycle.
