Contrary To Popular Belief, This Is Not The Worst Bitcoin Crash In History – Here’s The List
Contrary to popular belief, the recent Bitcoin crash is not the worst in its history. According to Swan CEO Cory Klippsten, the decline from the all-time high of $126,000 to $60,000 (a 52% drop) ranks only as the 9th-largest Bitcoin drawdown. The most significant crash occurred in 2011, when BTC fell 94% from $32 to $2. Other major crashes include an 87% drop from $1,160 to $152 (2013-2015) and an 84% crash from $19,600 to $3,100 (2017-2018).
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted the appearance of a capitulation candle on the weekly chart, suggesting that the range of $65,000–$70,000 may form a bottom area. While some experts, like Peter Brandt, warn that Bitcoin could still drop to around $42,000, van de Poppe is optimistic, predicting a potential rally toward $85,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin price is around $71,000, up over 2% in 24 hours.
