Actually, if Bitcoin falls to $55k, it will be a level that triggers a collapse to around $30k.

It's the panic factor that will overwhelm any hope of redemption. The fear will be too much for the greed to fight against.

Why bitcoin needs to fall another 20% before it's even worth a look

Fair value for the cryptocurrency is currently about $55,000. It would be entirely understandable for Claude Erb to say to the crypto bros: "I told you so.". Erb is the former commodities portfolio manager at TCW Group whose model of bitcoin's fair value has been roundly dismissed as hopelessly irrelevant. Last October, for instance, bitcoin traded above $125,000, more than double the fair-value estimate of $53,000 from Erb's model at the time.What a difference five months can make: Bitcoin now is trading below $70,000. Moreover, given the small number of additional bitcoins that have been mined since last October, the latest fair-value estimate from Erb's model is now around $55,000.A corollary of Erb's investment lesson is that when an asset that previously deviated from fair value eventually returns towards fair value, there is no guarantee th

On the contrary, it is entirely to be expected that market prices will swing wildly on either side of fair value - not just for bitcoin, but for every investable asset. \n</p>\n<p>\n     Over the past decade, for example, the ratio of bitcoin's actual price to Erb's fair-value estimate has ranged from a high of 4.3 to a low of 0.3.

The cryptocurrency's subsequent rally took that ratio from below 0.5 to a high over 2.0.
