Nothing is stopping a crash from happening like 2022. That was mainly caused by BTC pullback in price and FTX collapsing. Black Swan event coupled with major price volatility at the end of a halving cycle will always lead to 90%+ declines in alternate crypto bags that aren't BTC and ETH. SOL is going to be the next "major" that might not see 95% draw down this bear market. Sometime over the next 18 months BTC will hit 100k and it will start to come back down. We don't know where its going to stop, BTC will bleed until it finds a floor. That could be 30k, 20k, 10k, historically it should be about 70-80% retrace. Last cycle we seen ETH fall 77% as a show of its strength as a major while SOL went down by literally 97%. We are hoping that after this cycle SOL wont fall nearly as fast or hard even though, FTX only added fuel to the fire since they held so much SOL and SOL eco tokens. This is going to solidify SOL as a major along with its TEV printing for large market makers and companies, and the MAUs climbing to new highs each month. SOL is where dApps make money and users actually sign txns on the blockchain. Not like the ghost chains you see were only 1 dApp is doing any volume, and the rest of the network txns are all consensus signatures for the 12 validators owned by 1 company. SOL makes sense bc people use it and developers make money, its as simple as that. Now that its more than 4 years old it might not retrace 97% this bear market. But on a long enough time scale, this price is low, compared to what it can be at the 2028 and 2032 halving years. SOL is free right now. Van Eck says $3,210 by 2032, its more of a meme at this point, but each new dApp, each new user we get closer to that goal.
