Analysts have also observed an ongoing correlation with the stock market as Nicolas Merten, founder of the YouTube channel DataDash believes that there is “more pain to come.”

#bitcoin has never lived through something like this, so expect much more pain to come.

He stated that several key metrics on LookIntoBitcoin indicate that the market is at a major cycle low. Swift disclosed that the percentage of long-term holders has peaked (1yr HODL Wave). Metrics like RHODL Ratio have also dipped into accumulation zones, indicating the extent to which euphoria has been drained from the market. Similarly, Ethereum price prediction by analysts indicates that the asset follows similar trend as Bitcoin.
A popular Twitter trader identified as Alan has disclosed that the current market trend is mimicking the previous cycles. While assessing the one-month stochastic chart for BTC/USD, Alan observed that Bitcoin is repeating the 2014 and 2018 bearish structure.

According to him, a quick rebound always follows a dip.
