What's happening with the crypto (BTC) market?

[Daniel91]

In recent days and weeks, we have witnessed major disruptions in the crypto market and sharp declines in the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Not long ago, Bitcoin was at $125,000, and it is currently at $83,000, which is a significant drop. CoinGecko has published data showing that nearly $1.2 trillion has been wiped out from the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies in the past few weeks. There has been concern in the market for some time that the AI market, or tech stocks in general, is overvalued, and everything is also affected by the Fed's strict monetary policy.
When there is uncertainty in the market, the first thing that happens is a withdrawal from high-risk assets, which are cryptocurrencies.
How will the price of BTC and other cryptocurrencies move in the future? It seems that the current market sentiment is against crypto, in a phase of panic selling. Short-term, this is not good for the crypto market, and in the long-term, we need to see if institutional investors will return to investing in the crypto market once the price falls enough and a new balance is established.

I think the recent crypto crash can be traced to a mix of Fed tightening, overleveraged markets, institutional profit taking, fears of tech/AI overvaluation, liquidation cascades, and panic selling, all causing investors to pull out of high risk assets like Bitcoin until a new market balance attracts institutional buyers again. Retails are heavily affected with this like how many are panic selling due to turmoil. But as a holder we just need to hold and keep believing.

We are heading back to the "pre-Trump" Bitcoin price of around 70K-80K USD. It sucks that I didn't sell my BTC at 120K. I was too lazy during August and I was too greedy as well, expecting the price to hit at least 150K. It seems that the 2025 bull run is finally over. AI stocks might be facing a big correction as well. The fear is going to take over the markets and a new crypto winter might occur. Everyone has two options right now. Sell now and buy later at a lower price or just HODL and forget about the BTC price for several months.

Every market have its own characteristics and the investors ability to profit in such a market depends on their level of understanding the characteristics of that market, those who do not understand it and jump into it may likely come out with loses, while those who understand the market well likely will always profit because they know when it's a buying time and when it's time to sell..

Bitcoin may not be performing in the direction many of us think or thought it would, but this does not mean that there is any reason to raise alarm, like I said in another thread, many of us who are OGs are refusing to learn from the past, while some newbies also are not doing enough research to learn about history, and this is where we keep making the mistake..

The price of bitcoin will recover, many will come up with different reasons why the price of bitcoin is coming down, but all of this is not important, the important thing should be, are you using this opportunity to buy more bitcoin so you can make good profit when it recovers, or are you using this opportunity to complain?

I think price is plunging into a bear market, it's not possible that Bitcoin price or the crypto market can actually respond in the way people has predicted it would, perhaps after a bull season comes a bear season and I think the bear season is already kicking in, if not, then Bitcoin should have still been maintaining a bullish trend this month, but it's not and the month is already coming to an end. Maybe if we are not in bear season yet, the price could bounce back by december.

In a bear market, all cryptocurrencies fall down but the fall rates of altcoins are much bigger than Bitcoin. Bitcoin can fall down 70% or 80% from its all time high but altcoins mostly lose 90%, 99% from their all time highs.

The worst things with altcoins don't stop with price falls from ATHs, but those coins can be abandoned by developers like Kadena recently, or can simply die with time especially in most dangerous times in bear market. With Bitcoin, after a bear market, it bottoms up, recovers and makes a new all time high in a next market cycle. With altcoins, you can not expect the same with them and very few altcoins can survive through a bear market and make a new all time high in a next cycle.

Let's just do this so we can start screaming the bottoms amount as never again. The biggest issue is that many expects green these past two months and the result is different from what we envisioned. So if majority is bearish in December then Bitcoin would be bullish for December.

I wonder why the fuzz about Bitcoin price dropping has suddenly become a hot topic that people can't stop talking about when they know fully well that there must be the bearish season and the bullish season. So far we have been enjoying the bullish season and now we are in the bear season, why can't investors be rest assured and confident  that the price will balance out and bounce back even higher than the way it previously was.

The current cryptocurrency market is in a volatile consolidation phase of which some macroeconomic factors are the cause but one thing that we forget is that the underlying structural trend for long term supply and institutional adoption is still infact intact and functioning to maximum.

The point is that the crypto market can't keep the bullish going forever, and this is how it has always been in history. If it is a bull season, the price of Bitcoin and other coins will continue increasing for some period. After that the bear market will take over.I think the decline of Bitcoin and other coins is a sign that we are gradually approaching the bear season not that we are in the bear season currently because I can't imagine seeing Bitcoin drop over 30% from its all-time high and some altcoins dropping 50% to 80% if it were not already the period of a bear market.So I am surprised seeing the crypto market going down, because I believe there is a season called the bear market, and I think it is that period now, since the markets have been bullish for a while.

Don't see any sense in this. bitcoin as well as other crypto is down at the moment speculating a bull within a short period of time is something that at the moment looks unrealistic. i think as it stands, we are at a point where our ability to invest for the long run and go through bear season is on the test and the decision we make at this critical stage as this will jointly determine where we place ourselves in the crypto sphere not just at the present but also in the future to come.

I, for one saw that it is likely that bitcoin might experience a drop but i never saw it coming at this point in time and did not think it can ever get any where close to what we have now. again this takes us back to the statement we have made so much on the forum and that is the fact that bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. those that are seriously bothered about the DIP are partly those that are regretting their failure to take profit at the time bitcoin was up. even though it might take time, there is still an high chance that bitcoin will still surge up high past the last all time high. the DIP is just temporary.

It's always like that.. When you want an ATH, you see a bottom..And vice versa

I thought Trump promised we will never see this price again? What is happening lol?
Every political leader has made promises yet failed to keep to them, how foolish was I to trust that Trump could actually be the President to take bitcoin to the promised land.

davis196, you should be thinking of accumulating more rather than regretting why you never sold when it was above $120k. The price will surely return but what comes next after that? Will you regret why you never took good use of this current opportunity to gain more sats?

Politicians are not to be trusted on their promises.. Especially when it comes to their desires to grab more attention / votes / profit.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Precisely the bull market I will not tender much on this question because it's my first major experience to the market apart from smaller dip that occur and it's correct but with the knowledge I have gotten through this forum, it's unwise to regret because nothing has shown that the bull has finally ended despite the dip, I think this dip is just another opportunity for many who have not accumulated to their target as it will serve as open window for more accumulation, for me that is still looking forward on acculturating it's of more opportunity for me because I don't need worry myself expect those who have be holding for Long. But one need be careful to avoid regret because of fear panic as the market dip is not new the market always put in phobia to the weak before doing exploit.

[Maslate]

We are now entering the bear cycle of the market. So its normal to see consistent price decline for bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies. And I have to say, those institutional investors must be aware already that this will happen in the market eventually, as bitcoin is not all the time rising its price but time will come that its price will also experience sharp decline, and this is it.

There is nothing wrong with the crypto market. The news can all be true, but let's not forget that we also need the bear cycle to pave its way for another bull run in the future. Those who are patient will always win, but weak hands do not have rooms in the crypto market when they can't be patient in times like this.

[Potato Chips]

It's just the typical cycle. Not to worry, the market will bounce back, it's just a matter of when. The question is, if you can hold until that time comes. Though, there are folks who sell now because they wanna buy back at a lower price.   

I do understand how ugly it can get with people panicking, and spreading FUD left and right. Unfortunately, this is just something that you have to get used to and grit your teeth lol. My advice is to just think long term.

[criptoevangelista]

What makes me somewhat calm is seeing that we’re at “extreme fear” with Bitcoin at 85 thousand dollars, a price that was a reason to celebrate just a few months ago. All the indicators are aligned with a bear market bottom. This is very strange, the price dropped way too fast. Anyway, the bottom can always go lower, but nothing falls forever. Soon it will recover and take us back to new all-time highs. If the price drops even more, I can consider it a great opportunity for anyone doing DCA to buy more and improve their average price.

[PrivacyG]

Bitcoin is unfortunately dying again.

Open a Chart and look at what happened every time one year after the Halving cycle.  It does not look like it is too different now at all.  Bitcoin is only doing its thing, what you have to do is stop reading all the extremely negative articles.  They will call Bitcoin dead, dying, a Scam, what ever else.  If you fall for their negativity trap then you put too much Money in Bitcoin or you are very uncertain about its future.  Fix the problems and get your self to a point where you do not care what others say.

Or you can open up X and read posts written by Peter Schiff since aroud 2020 about Bitcoin.  Bitcoin has been dying since it exists.

This is very strange, the price dropped way too fast.

I am guessing it is because a lot more Wealthy people are in it and can liquidate a lot of Money at once.

[buwaytress]

Yep, as PrivacyG said. Bitcoin ded. So sell everything, send the cows home, load up on dollars, and sell your forum account.

But whatever you do, don't come back in four, five, six, years. It will be painful regret. And then you'll fomo back in, only in time to see Bitcoin die again.

[AdobeWriter]

I can tell you what happened today. John Williams from the Fed declared they might actually cut rates in December. That's what sent both stocks and crypto up.
