Yet elsewhere in the crypto market, many altcoins are down by as much as 96% or more.\u00a0 In a recent video, Elliott Wave International Currency & Crypto Analyst Jason Soni sheds some light on why this occurs and what this could mean for various cryptocurrencies.\u00a0 Breaking Down Why Some Crypto Assets Crash More Than Others Bitcoin price has retraced by more than 78% from all-time highs set back in 2021. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, saw an approximately 82% retracement from peak to trough thus far.\u00a0 As you move down the ranks of cryptocurrencies, the total drawdown figures deepen. Cardano, for example, suffered a 92% collapse compared to the top two cryptocurrencies. Solana, once pegged to disrupt Ethereum, dropped by a staggering 96%.\u00a0 Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Prediction: What Elliott Wave Theory Suggests Is Next For BTC In a new video entitled \u201cLooking at Opportunities for the Next Crypto Bull Market,\u201d Elliott Wave International Currency & Crypto Analyst Jason Soni touches on why \u2013 theoretically \u2013 this discrepancy exists.\u00a0 According to Soni, newer altcoins in their first cycle will see the deepest retracement. As cryptocurrencies mature, and go through more boom and bust cycles, retracements are less steep, like we\u2019ve seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum.\u00a0 ETH 2018 versus ADA 2022 | ETHUSD on TradingView.com Bitcoin Sets The Standard For Bear Market Corrections In the video, Jason Soni used a comparison between many newer altcoins today following a similar trajectory and total drawdown as 2018 Ethereum.\u00a0With each new cycle, new participants join and liquidity in each asset increases, reducing volatility over time and resulting in less and less in terms of max drawdown. This is perhaps the most visible with Bitcoin. Following Bitcoin\u2019s first major bull market, the first ever crypto asset retraced by 96%. In the second bear market ever in crypto, BTC retraced by 86%. During the 2018 bear market, Bitcoin sank by a grand total of 84%.\u00a0A softer landing yet might still be possible during this bear market.

Considering the severity of the drawdowns in most cryptocurrencies and the extreme negative sentiment, it could mean that the end of the bear market is near. At this point, Soni recommends avoiding \u201csocial media sentiment\u201d at all costs and says to instead \u201cfocus on the patterns.\u201d\u00a0 The video, \u201cLooking at Opportunities for the Next Crypto Bull Market,\u201d is offered \u00a0exclusively through Elliott Wave International\u2019s Crypto Trader\u2019s Classroom, which delivers\u00a0three new in-depth lessons each week from top Elliott Wave analysts.
