I dont like it, I hate it, but i got to admit the Bear whales are strong. News regarding bitcoin and crypto are very positive lately. So I am thinking similar is going on like many times in stock market. Where hedge funds come in to surprise common folk with opposite move that you would think by news suggestions (common folk will usually have weak shorts or longs, and they will be cleared on stop lossed with big hedge funds moves, making hedge funds easy profits).
So I am thinking whales are killing all new comers (and those who decided to join on dips and invest from 8, 8.5, 9k....and are easier to panic and sell). Positive news situation atracts new investors, but bears kills them forever. But without new people...
sorry for your loss. HODL
