You’ve likely heard the term “echo bubble” tossed about in relation to Bitcoin<\/a> over the past couple of months. For instance, hedge fund manager Mark Dow<\/a>, an investor that shorted BTC when it traded at $20,000 in December 2017, recently quipped<\/a> that the leading crypto is in a “textbook echo bubble.” This came shortly after he quipped in an earlier tweet that Bitcoin will die a “grinding death, punctuated by spoofs and FOMO spasms of decreasing frequency and intensity.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the echo bubble narrative \u2014 which states that BTC’s price performance this year<\/a> was just an echo of, a throwback to the 2016-2018 bubble \u2014 is accurate, the cryptocurrency still has the potential to fall much further from current prices.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Could Fall 40%, Analyst Warns<\/h2>\n

There’s no doubt that Bitcoin’s price performance in 2019 is reminiscent of 2017 and 2018: the price of the leading cryptocurrency went parabolic from low levels to form a peak above $10,000, then formed a massive descending triangle pattern that bottomed in the $6,000 range.<\/p>\n

Analyst CryptoHamster recently touched<\/a> on these similarities, remarking that if BTC follows the path of the previous cycle, and breaks down from the low-$6,000s, it will bottom at $4,320 \u2014 just over 40% lower than current prices. (The $4,320 target was determined by scaling the previous cycle to the current, using the $6,000 level as the base for the calculation.)<\/p>\n

Equilibration around 6000$.
The bottom will be at ~4300$ according to this ratio.
