Room for another Bitcoin drop? Woo assessed the average price at which short-term investors entered the Bitcoin market across history and charted the daily change in the value. That resulted in a cost basis, a metric that signals when "inexperienced" traders sell BTC to "experienced" traders during a BTC free fall, which typically coincides with the market bottom. The cost basis underwent significant dips during the …
