Bitcoin investors have been told to expect further crashes in investment valuation as the cryptocurrency market continues to experience price correction.

The warning came from an investment bank, JPMorgan Chase, which said the price of bitcoin will fall as much as 25.2% soon when pegged with the current asking cost.

Josh Younger and Veronica Mejia, analysts at JPMorgan Chase, projected that the price will decline to $25,000 from the current $33,444, according to Coindesk - this means about $8,000 will be wiped off.

Sell off to drag bitcoin price down

The depreciation will be caused by a sell-off among cryptocurrency investors looking to protect their losses or take out their gains from the bitcoin market.

Since the price bubble of bitcoin was deflated by Elon Musk's announcement that Tesla won't be accepting crypto as a payment option again, it has struggled to cross the $50,000 mark.

The asking price has been stuck between $30,000 and $40,000, raising speculation that bitcoin might have reached its price floor as an asset.

But JPMorgan Chase recent statement shows there's still more losses waiting for investors in the short term.
