However, a 28% market correction is not new, and has happened several times during every market cycle.
Cryptocurrency corrections are normal.
Cryptocurrency expert and Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back said that previous highs have seen about half a dozen 30% declines.
“In fact, the recent declines appear to have been shallower, but people forget the normal bull market pattern,” he said before advising against panic selling.
Reminder, zoom out. Previous uptrends also had half a dozen -30% downtrends. We’re now at around -26% (-27% previously).

“History is repeating as we speak,” the Rect Capital analyst noted, adding that if the patterns repeat, “Bitcoin could peak in this cycle in mid-September or mid-October 2025.”

Huge opportunity
Cryptocurrency Analyst Miles Deutscher comment“This is one of the most obvious long-term setups I’ve ever seen.”
He acknowledged short-term selling pressures caused by Mt. Gox redemptions and the German government’s asset disposal.
However, he also noted several long-term bullish factors such as institutional buying via Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the upcoming US elections that could change the outlook for cryptocurrencies, and FTX’s $16 billion payout to clients.
“It seems like a huge opportunity,” he said.
With the end-of-year and election season, liquidity should be in crypto’s favor, added Will Clemente, co-founder of Reflexivity Research. “There will no longer be the massive oversupply that has been looming in the market for years,” he added, referring to redemptions from crippled exchanges and government sell-offs.
The flip side of the Gox/Germany/Silk road BTC panic is that in late Q3 or Q4 with seasonality, elections, and likely liquidity on the crypto side, there will no longer be the massive oversupply that has been looming in the market for years.

In a post on X on July 5, Bitcoin pioneer Samson Mu said there was no need to panic as selling pressure was minimal.
