Bitcoin’s dip to $29k may be a healthy correction based on historical trends

Quick Take

• Bitcoin is down 3.5% today, going as low as $29,000. However, these liquidation cascades are normal in crypto, let alone emerging from a bear market.
• Looking at the cost basis, the chart of previous bear markets, highlighted in purple, denotes max pain when the short-term holder realized price is below the realized price.
• However, emerging from the depths of the bear market has been highlighted where the Bitcoin price has fallen, albeit liquidation cascades or selling into profit.
• This cycle has been no different; again, Bitcoin price has rallied while we have seen multiple corrections, which can be deemed healthy for Bitcoin to continue.
