Since Bitcoin (BTC) hit public markets, the cryptocurrency has traded in multi-year cycles. Every few years, the asset runs parabolically, prior to a dramatic, nasty ~80% drawdown. In the eyes of most, BTC has done that twice or thrice by this point, not including the current crypto bear market.<\/p>\n

As Bitcoin<\/a> is currently ~80% down from its most recent all-time high, some are convinced that sell-offs are in the rearview mirror. One analyst even recently claimed that if BTC really bottomed in late-December, the timing was “perfectly on point,” when compared to historical pullbacks.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Bottom Might Already Be In<\/h2>\n

Roger Quantrillo recently explained that Bitcoin’s price action from late-2017 to early-2019 resembles the rally and subsequent collapse of BTC in the previous market cycle. More specifically, he noted that after BTC surpassed a long-term increasing trendline, it took the asset 434 days to hit a bottom in 2015.<\/p>\n
