What’s new? An analyst at the US investment management firm Invesco predicts that the price of bitcoin could fall below $30 000 by the end of the year. Strategist Paul Jackson has warned that such a probability is around 30%. The price of the first cryptocurrency now stands at $38 961.

What was the reason for this prediction? Jackson compared the bullish activity of the cryptocurrency markets and the investment landscape to the period just before the Great Depression. He wrote:
“The mass marketing of bitcoin reminds us of the activity of stockbrokers in the run-up to the 1929 crash.”
Jackson believes that it is not too hard to imagine bitcoin falling below $30 000 before the end of the year. He noted that the loss of 45% of the value within 12 months after the peak is typical for a financial mania.
What else did Jackson say? In his view, the drop in quotations from the highs to $42 000 in early January clearly corresponds to the pattern of a bubble. The strategist stipulated that his bearish scenario is far from unambiguous. He added:
“Last year we talked about bitcoin falling below $10 000, but instead it peaked around $68 000.”
