A trader who accurately predicted the 2022 cryptocurrency crash has warned that the crypto market may be facing a new "black swan" event, with downside risks remaining significant.

The trader emphasized that while Bitcoin has maintained its position above the $100,000 threshold, it remains far from reaching the "adequate adjustment zone of $60,000 to $70,000," indicating that "downside risks remain significant" before the market establishes a solid foundation.

It is understood that since the beginning of 2025, Bitcoin prices have experienced multiple fluctuations, oscillating and rising around the $95,000 level at the start of the year. In April 2025, Bitcoin once fell below $80,000, subsequently climbing for consecutive months and breaking through multiple round-number levels including $100,000, $110,000, and $120,000, continuously setting new all-time highs.

Industry professionals have noted that market uncertainty has led to a plunge in risk assets, with demand for downside protection in derivatives markets surging dramatically. Options market dynamics may be influencing underlying market price movements more than ever before.
