The DeFi Report, a well-regarded analytical platform in the cryptocurrency sector, has delved into the possible lowest points for Bitcoin (BTC) during this market cycle.
Analysts from the firm have advised investors to exercise patience while taking into account both macroeconomic challenges and on-chain indicators.
Mike, the chief analyst at the company, emphasized that even amidst a general downturn in market conditions, we have yet to reach what he describes as “the most appealing buying opportunity.” Drawing inspiration from Warren Buffett’s investment strategies, he noted that a price decline of 5-6% does not signify substantial value; rather, genuine opportunities arise when prices fall by 50% or more.
The analysis highlights two primary metrics for estimating Bitcoin’s potential bottom.
Actual Price: This metric reflects the average value of all coins on the blockchain. Historically, Bitcoin has dropped between 14% and 30% below this threshold during previous bear markets. Should history repeat itself in this cycle, Bitcoin might see prices dip to around $40,000 – $41,000.
200-Week Moving Average: Another significant long-term indicator is currently trending upwards. Analysts propose that if Bitcoin were to fall below this moving average level, it could indicate a “deep value” zone around $55,000.

The report also pointed out that one of the major external influences on Bitcoin’s price is tied to global energy crises and geopolitical strife. Specifically mentioning how developments in the Middle East are affecting oil prices and consequently US bond yields adds pressure on riskier assets. Mike posits that before making any interest rate cuts, the Federal Reserve will need to observe further weaknesses within both financial markets and labor conditions.
The DeFi Report also touched upon altcoins’ performance state but expressed skepticism about their recovery until after Bitcoin hits its bottom. Highlighting that Bitcoin plays a crucial role in steering market trends; analysts remarked that when there’s a sharp decline in Bitcoin’s price levels—altcoins typically endure even steeper losses—thus suggesting it would be prudent to wait for an established bottom with BTC first before considering investments in altcoins.
