Q2 2022 was Bitcoin’s worst quarter in 11 years

The price decline of the first cryptocurrency in April–June by 56.2% was the steepest since Q3 2011, when losses reached 67%. The data come from Coinglass.

During the period, Bitcoin fell from $45,000 to $19,884. In the bear markets of 2014 and 2018, quarterly declines did not exceed 39.7% and 49.7%, respectively.

In June, digital gold posted its worst rate of decline since September 2011, at 37%.

The negative momentum in the crypto market in the second quarter continued amid the slide in the S&P 500. In the first half of the year, the index fell 20.6%, its worst result since 1962.
