- Bitcoin dropped below $105,000, raising concerns over a potential deeper crypto market crash.
- The wider crypto market lost $600 billion in value within a week.
- Traders are concerned the price could fall further, possibly to $90,000 or $80,000, according to experts.
- Market declines followed renewed fears about a trade war between the U.S. and China.
- The recent price drop has weakened bitcoin’s reputation as “digital Gold,” while traditional gold reaches new highs.
Bitcoin experienced a sharp price decline, dipping below $105,000 for the first time since June. This downturn came as fears spread across the global crypto market in early June, resulting in a significant sell-off.
The broader cryptocurrency market saw over $600 billion erased in value within just seven days. Market observers noted the decline accelerated after previous sharp losses, sparking concerns of a further crash.
Some analysts are wringing their hands, thinking bitcoin could drop into the $90,000s or $80,000s, stated Lark Davis, author of Wealth Mastery newsletter, responding to the current volatility. Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, reported, The crypto market resumed its decline on Friday, falling 5% in 24 hours to $3.57 trillion. He added that the current sell-off appears more severe than past dips, as it reflects broader market anxiety rather than low trading volumes.
Last week’s sharp price changes followed concerns that U.S. President Donald Trump could restart a trade war with China. This triggered a “flash crash” in the Bitcoin Price. Markets may find some support at the $3.5 trillion level for the entire crypto market—a technical indicator known as the 200-day moving average. Kuptsikevich said there could be either a rebound or a continued decline, depending on how the market reacts at this threshold.
Meanwhile, traditional gold prices surged to new highs. Peter Schiff, a prominent gold advocate, commented that bitcoin is now down 32% priced in gold since its August high, and urged investors to consider gold over bitcoin. This shift is notable because bitcoin is often described as “digital gold” due to its scarcity and store-of-value narrative.
Over the past year, bitcoin saw rapid gains, driven by the adoption of bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by Wall Street and interest from investors seeking alternatives to the U.S. dollar. However, with the recent turmoil and increased market uncertainty, analysts remain cautious about the near-term outlook for cryptocurrencies.
