Over the past 24 hours, as market values have declined significantly, many observers have begun discussing the current crypto market cycle and the potential for digital currency prices to recover. Data indicates that hundreds of billions of dollars have exited the crypto economy, but some believe a rebound similar to 2020 could still occur.
Onlookers Attempt to Guess Market Cycle’s Next Move
The past few days have been challenging for crypto assets as market values have dropped, leading to numerous discussions about the current market cycle and what might be on the horizon. On Monday, veteran trader Peter Brandt commented on the decline, drawing parallels to previous years. “Please note that BTC decline since halving is now similar to that of the 2015-2017 Halving Bull market cycle,” Brandt remarked on X. The popular X account called Bitcoin Archive told its 1.4 million social media followers:
Every cycle bitcoin gives you ‘One Last Chance’ to load up. So here we are, anon.
Several crypto proponents and market analysts suggest that a rebound may be on the horizon, reminiscent of previous recoveries. In a message to Bitcoin.com News, Tim Kravchunovsky, founder and CEO of the decentralized telecommunications network Chirp, shared his insights and suggested that a rebound similar to 2020 might be possible.
“This morning, all of us have woken up to one of the biggest crypto sell-offs we’ve seen this cycle,” Kravchunovsky said. “But this time, it’s not a crypto specific issue – rather, macroeconomic factors are in the driving seat. With the Bank of Japan unexpectedly raising rates and fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve made a mistake by keeping interest rates unchanged at its July meeting, all risk assets are on the chopping block. Crypto assets just went first because they trade 24/7.”
The Chirp CEO added:
Over the coming hours and days, we may well see a decoupling of crypto from traditional stocks, similar to what we saw in 2020. Back then, crypto staged a much faster and more pronounced recovery from the pandemic-driven collapse than traditional stock markets, and we may well see something similar this time.
Numerous voices on social media have shared their thoughts on the recent downturn. “Crazy to think crypto underperformed stocks for a year straight just to crash together with them,” the X account 0xPajke wrote. “Crypto cycle truly hasn‘t even started yet.”
Some anticipate that a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve could once again strengthen crypto markets, believing that the central bank’s easing measures are on the horizon. “The system broke,” the X user Matias said on Monday. “Enormous amounts of money printing will be required to fix it. The foundation for a true crypto bull cycle has been laid.”
