Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on with Bitcoin.
Why Bitcoin Could Fall to $31,000
According to CoinMarketCap’s factsthe royal coin witnessed a price drop of almost 7% last week. The past 24 hours have also been bearish as the price of BTC declined marginally.

In the meantime, Ali, a popular crypto analyst, posted tweet highlighting a notable difference. The tweet talked about the relationship between the price of BTC and the realized price-to-vibrancy ratio.
Historically, every time the price of BTC falls below the realized price-to-vibrance ratio, it has led to further price declines.
To be precise, a slip below that benchmark pushes BTC down towards the realized price. Such incidents occurred in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
At the time of writing, such a bearish crossover was taking place. This suggested that traders can expect another drop in BTC to its realized price, which stood at $31.5k at the time of writing.
