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.
Bitcoin could be on the verge of another major breakout as institutional inflows return to levels that historically trigger rapid price acceleration.
According to on-chain analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin is entering a new stage of on-chain behavior marked by two key developments: a rare third peak in the SOPR Trend Signal during a single bull cycle and a sustained outflow dominance in exchange flows.
According to the latest Santiment report, the crypto market is entering a critical phase, with a mix of bullish on-chain signals and cautionary sentiment indicators.
In a stunning on-chain event that has reignited curiosity across the crypto community, more than $8.6 billion worth of Bitcoin linked to the network’s earliest years—commonly referred to as the “Satoshi era”—was quietly moved on Friday in what analysts believe is the largest single transfer of early-mined BTC ever recorded.
