The CEO of leading on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant says one metric is setting off a big warning for Bitcoin (BTC) bulls.
CryptoQuant CEO says Bitcoin could crash by more than 50% as macro environment worsens
Bitcoin is still in a contested zone between the two factions of bears and bulls

Ki Young Joo told his 292,600 Twitter followers that the historical data shows Bitcoin could drop to $14,000.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is up 1.99% and is priced at $29,900. A move towards the analyst’s bearish price target suggests a 52% downside risk for BTC.

According to CryptoQuant analyst, Bitcoin investors are likely to be deep underwater lately if the market price turns its worst.

Ki Young Joo then calculates the average entry price for each generation of Bitcoin investors over the past 11 years using the UTXO age band statistic, which tracks the potential price level at which long-term holders deposit BTC. The analyst also recently observed that institutional investors are currently the dominant force in Bitcoin trading.

“Retail investors are leaving the crypto market. Not bad for depositing bitcoin with institutions, but still concerned about total volume, which is significantly lower than last year.”

Next, the CEO of CryptoQuant took a look at the leading smart contract platform Ethereum (ETH). He emphasized that the ETH ecosystem remains strong despite the massive drop in price as interest in new blockchain niches like DeFi, NFTs, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and play-to-earn (GameFi) remains high.
