Bitcoin's $200 Billion Wipeout: Panic and Political Shifts Rock Crypto Markets

Sudden Panic Sparks $200 Billion Bitcoin And Crypto Price Crash

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn, with bitcoin prices plummeting from nearly $100,000 to towards $90,000 earlier in the week. This dramatic drop has erased approximately $200 billion from the combined crypto market value of $3.2 trillion. According to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/11/26/sudden-panic-sparks-200-billion-bitcoin-and-crypto-price-crash), this correction follows Donald Trump's U.S. election victory and subsequent regulatory shifts anticipated under his administration.

Crypto billionaire Michael Novogratz warned that bitcoin could fall further to around $80,000 before rebounding due to high leverage within the system. He emphasized that while there is substantial support for digital assets among Trump’s cabinet members, traders should brace for potential volatility as they navigate these uncertain waters.

Bitcoin Retreats Near A Milestone Level On Profit-Taking

Euronews highlights how profit-taking activities have led to a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices just shy of reaching its psychological barrier at €95,400 ($100,000). The post-Trump rally had initially driven optimism but lacked fresh catalysts needed by investors pushing it beyond key thresholds according to Euronews' analysis (https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/11/26/bitcoin-retreats-near-a-milestone-level-on-profit-taking).

This retreat underscores ongoing speculative trading behavior prevalent across markets, where large trades can significantly impact valuations, especially amidst periods characterized by lower liquidity levels or heightened uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic indicators, such as the Federal Reserve minutes release scheduled later today followed closely by the PCE data publication expected tomorrow morning local time.
