Investors hoping for a turnaround in Bitcoin’s (BTC) price might need to be patient, as recent forecasts suggest more declines ahead.
Analyst Ali Martinez has indicated that Bitcoin could fall further, potentially dropping below the $50,000 level.
Warning! ⚠️
Historically, when #Bitcoin falls below the Realized Price-to-Liveliness Ratio, now at $51,600, it often drops further to its Realized Price — currently at $31,500! pic.twitter.com/J2frRQSiXZ

This prediction, shared on X on September 7, is based on Bitcoin’s historical patterns and its current performance relative to the realized price-to-live ratio (RPL).
The RPL ratio, which helps identify potential highs and lows by comparing Bitcoin’s realized price with its activity levels, currently sits around $51,600. Martinez notes that historically, when Bitcoin’s price falls below this ratio, it often leads to a continued decline towards the realized price.
According to Martinez, if Bitcoin fails to stay above the RPL threshold, it could see prices fall to around $31,500.
This forecast highlights the critical period ahead for Bitcoin, particularly amid a lack of significant news to boost the cryptocurrency market and ongoing economic uncertainty impacting Bitcoin’s performance.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
