A quant has actually explained the resemblances in between the 2017 and 2021 Bitcoin cycles, something that might mean how the rest of this bearishness may play out.
Both 2017 And 2021 Bitcoin Cycles Saw New Lows Around The 365- Day Mark Given That The Leading
As discussed by an expert in a CryptoQuant post, the 2 cycles are more comparable than one may anticipate them to be.
The indication of significance here is the “drawdown from ATH,” which determines the portion reduction in the cost of Bitcoin following the all-time high throughout each cycle.
Here is a chart that reveals the pattern in this metric for the 2017 and 2021 cycles:

In the above chart, the start point for the 2017 Bitcoin cycle drawdown remains in the December of 2017, when the all-time high of the duration was set.
Following this top, the cost of the crypto took a sharp plunge till around when the drawdown from the ATH had actually reached a worth in between 65-70%.
After reaching these drawdown worths, the cost began to support, and ran sideways for about 110 days.
Then, nevertheless, in the November of 2018 the worth of Bitcoin all of a sudden collapsed, and kept decreasing till the bottom was reached around 365 days following the ATH.
When it comes to the present 2021 cycle, the leading formed last November, and ever since the cost has actually been dropping off. The chart reveals the course this drawdown has actually taken up until now.
While the decrease isn’t precisely the very same in the 2 cycles, there is still a striking resemblance in between them.
Much Like in the previous cycle, Bitcoin plunged hard following the top, till the drawdown from the ATH struck a worth of 70%.
The crypto’s cost then combined flat comparable to in the previous cycle, and after that at around the 365- day mark, BTC made a brand-new low after plunging in a comparable style to the November 2018 crash.
Up until now this cycle has actually looked like the previous one, however it doubts at the minute whether it will continue to do so in the remainder of the bear or not.
If it certainly follows a comparable pattern from here on, then the quant thinks there would still be another 100 days of sideways motion left (in which the cycle bottom will be formed) prior to completion of the bear.
