A lot of these have to do with the percentage by which the price rises, and then the percentage by which the price begins to crash. Naturally, the expectation has become that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-price-a-stronger-rally\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bitcoin price will also follow the previous cycle<\/a>, leading to calls for much lower prices. But could there be a deviation this time around?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Bitcoin Will See Another Major Crash, But How Low?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Analyst Crypto Patel <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2033973893715702063\" rel=\"nofollow\">highlighted<\/a> the history of Bitcoin price performance over the last few cycles and how it could translate to the current cycle. Over the years, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitget-analyst-bitcoin-price\/\">Bitcoin bear market<\/a> has often seen the digital asset crash by an average of 80%, suggesting that it is possible that this happens this time around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Following this same trend, the analyst explains that a 77% crash this cycle would put the BTC price somewhere around $32,000. However, Crypto Patel does not believe that this is possible and that the Bitcoin price will not go this low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Now, usually, after the Wave 3, the price sees a major crash, which often sends it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin-and-ethereum-prices\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">toward a new bottom<\/a>. This means that there is still another crash left for Bitcoin before a bottom is reached. The question is now how low the price could go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Instead of crashing 77% to $32,000, the crypto analyst believes that the Bitcoin price will not fall below $40,000 this cycle. This will essentially mean that it does not get below 70%. Instead, the $40,000-$50,000 level is expected to be the max pain point for investors.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-670266\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C353\" alt=\"Bitcoin price\" width=\"640\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=2854 2854w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-1.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Still Following The 4-Year Cycle<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Despite the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-major-deviation-2022\/\">deviation that occurred<\/a> back in 2024, when the Bitcoin price hit a new all-time high before the halving, some parts of the 4-year cycle seem to be following the trend. As <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ArdiNSC\/status\/2034219486128250907\" rel=\"nofollow\">@ArdiNSC<\/a> points out on X, the top has been consistently hit in a new 4-year cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It has been the same in 2013, then 2017, before 2021, and then eventually 2017, almost 4 years apart each time. Given this, it is likely that at least some parts of the 4-year cycle are still in play. In such a case, then it could mean that the BTC price decline will continue, since historically, it has <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/large-bitcoin-shorts-cluster\/\">bottomed the year before the halving<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-670267\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C375\" alt=\"Bitcoin price 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=2726 2726w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bitcoin-price-2.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">This means that BTC is just coming into the bear market, lending credence to Crypto Patel\u2019s prediction that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-is-still-bearish-50000\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">another major crash is coming<\/a>.
