He shared this in a research note that the world's first cryptocurrency is likely to fall further before stabilizing after the current correction.

"It now seems unlikely that we see this volatility ratio returning to the x2 levels of last summer. The best we can hope for over the medium term is for this volatility ratio to partially revert from around x6 currently to around x4 by year end," Panigirtzoglou said, as quoted by CNBC.

The note however said the medium-term fair value for bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is in the $24,000 to $36,000 range. He went further to say the crash in bitcoin actually weakened the recent institutional demand. 

"There is little doubt that the boom and bust dynamics of the past weeks represent a setback to the institutional adoption of crypto markets and in particular of Bitcoin and Ethereum. We note that the mere rise in volatility, especially relative to gold, is an impediment to further institutional adoption as it reduces the attractiveness of digital gold vs. traditional gold in institutional portfolios," Panigirtzoglou said, as quoted by Yahoo Finance.
