Bitcoin Breaks Below $20,000: Analyst Says 'Panic Could Be Massive,' Predicts Lower Price Target

On Saturday, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) broke below $20,000 for the first time since December 2020. One analyst has been anticipating the breakdown and says things could get worse from here.

What Happened: The pseudonymous crypto analyst Capo has been predicting that the overall cryptocurrency market will see a downfall in the coming days and Bitcoin's fall below $20,000 will trigger panic in the market.

Earlier this week, Capo said that Bitcoin had not bottomed out yet.

Earlier in April, he mentioned that Bitcoin would see 50% retracement, and the overall crypto market would fall even more.
