Bitcoin’s (BTC) latest price crash is undoubtedly worrying. However, early crypto adopters will know that this not BTC’s first time facing a steep correction. BTC last faced a big dip in November 2022, soon after the collapse of FTX. The original crypto fell to the $15,000 price level about a year after hitting a new all-time high. However, Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to over $100,000 in December of 2024, just about two years later. Hence, the current market crash should not scare you. Let’s discuss how low BTC may go this time.
