Recent fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price have increased fear among investors. Bitcoin’s value recently fell about 20% from its peak, contributing to market uncertainty. The crypto market’s fear-to-greed index has shown a significant drop, indicating heightened apprehension. Some expert analyses suggest this volatility is an inherent aspect of Bitcoin’s behavior, not a failing.
According to The Kobeissi Letter, price drops are typical for major assets and often serve as precursors to stronger growth phases. The report notes that Bitcoin averages two declines of 20% or more annually, while Ether averages three. In contrast, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 see around four declines of 5% or more each year. Gold experiences roughly one 10% drop annually. These figures highlight that volatility is common across different asset classes and plays a role in their development.
A detailed comparison from The Kobeissi Letter states, “Bitcoin averages 2 declines of -20% or more per year. Ether averages 3 declines of -20% or more per year. The S&P 500 averages 4 declines of -5% or more per year. The Nasdaq 100 averages 4 declines of -5% or more per year. Gold averages 1 decline of -10% or more per year.” Additionally, the VIX volatility index spikes above 20 approximately 40 times a year, illustrating market fluctuations across assets.
Bitcoin’s long-term outlook remains optimistic according to CoinCodex BTC stats, which predict Bitcoin’s price could reach about $177,747 by December 2030. The current market sentiment is bearish, supported by a Fear & Greed Index reading of 11, indicating extreme fear among investors. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin had 47% positive trading days with a volatility rate around 5.8%.
