While Bitcoin<\/a>\u00a0has risen at its peak over 350% in 2019 from its bear market bottom, the crypto asset failed to breach above a local high of $14,000 and fell short of retesting its previous all-time high of $20,000. The failure by bulls to push Bitcoin higher and reignite the FOMO from the crypto hype bubble has caused fear to take hold of crypto investors who are worried the bear market bottom isn\u2019t actually in, and new lows may be set. <\/span><\/p>\n One crypto analyst, says that not only could new lows below $3,000 be set, but that Bitcoin could fall another 90% to as low as $300.<\/span><\/p>\n After a parabolic rally from April through August, Bitcoin<\/a> was rejected at $14,000 and after consolidation for a few months under the resistance level, the price of the first-ever crypto-asset began to fall and is now valued at over 40% less than the local high.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Correlated With Avocado Toast, Is Crypto Another Millennial Luxury?\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The botched bull rally is a result of Bitcoin failing to recapture the interest of the mainstream public it once had, and the lackluster launch of Intercontinental Exchange\u2019s Bakkt exchange hints that institutional investors aren\u2019t interested either.<\/span><\/p>\n The lack of demand, says one crypto analyst, could cause Bitcoin to fall below its previous bear market bottom set in December 2018 at $3,100.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChonkyOne\/status\/73501953<\/p>\n The analyst cites the yearly chart for the BraveNewCoin Liquid Index<\/a> for Bitcoin \u2013 a chart that dates back to the origin of the crypto asset, and gives the widest-angle long-term view of the asset\u2019s growth trajectory.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the analyst and the yearly chart, $4,000 is the \u201conly decent\u201d support level until \u201csub-$3K.\u201d However, the sub-$3K the analyst is speaking of is a support zone that lies another 90% below Bitcoin\u2019s bear market bottom of $3,100, extending as low as $300 per BTC.<\/span><\/p>\n On the high end of the support zone would be the 2014 yearly open price of $800.<\/span><\/p>\n However, its worth pointing out that calls for such lows are as irrational as calls for $100,000 Bitcoin during the 2019 parabolic rally. When traders \u2013 bullish or bearish \u2013 become exuberant and make unrealistic calls, it often signals a reversal is near.<\/span><\/p>\n Some of the best investors in history advocate taking a contrarian stance, suggesting that such a call is a great buy signal.
