Bitcoin tumbles, wiping out 2025 gains
Bitcoin just slipped into bear market territory, dropping 27% from its October high to below $92,000.
That means all the gains made in 2025 are gone, and a technical "death cross" has added to the gloomy mood.
Why does this matter?
If you're watching crypto, this is a big shakeup. The drop is mostly thanks to big holders (aka "whales") selling off and global worries like US-China trade tensions.
Fear levels are high right now, but here's a silver lining: institutional investors still seem interested and past trends suggest Bitcoin could bounce back in 2026—possibly even hitting new highs if things turn around.
What's fueling the fall?
It's not just about price charts—uncertainty from delayed economic data and Bitcoin failing to hold above $100k have spooked traders.
But historically, drops like this aren't unusual for Bitcoin, so while it stings now, it might just be part of the cycle.
