Trader Notes: Industry expert Gambardello believes Bitcoin’s recent drop is part of a common cycle where "someone cashes out Bitcoin at $100,000, feels like a genius at $90,000, and then FOMOs back in at $110,000."
He advises traders not to focus on short-term moves, suggesting patience and a long-term outlook is key.
Benjamin Cowen compares the current market scenario to 2017, when Bitcoin experienced a similar correction, falling back to 2016 highs.
He predicts that if 2025 mirrors 2017, Bitcoin could revisit its 2024 high around $73,000.
CryptoCon in their analysis notes that Bitcoin corrections following all-time highs often feel catastrophic, but data indicates the market is following expected patterns.
Historically, the cycle top is expected between September and October 2025, suggesting we are still on track.
