Bitcoin Drops 6% Weekly Amid Ongoing Crypto Market Decline

The crypto market is facing a bearish sentiment following a crash on October 10. Key points include:

  • Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a 6% drop over the past week, nearing one of its worst performances this year.
  • BTC has fallen below $100,000 for four consecutive days, risking further price declines if the trend continues.
  • Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK) have decreased by 20% and 33% year-to-date, respectively.
  • Despite some gains, Bitcoin, XRP, and Ethereum (ETH) have not outperformed the stock market's 14% rise this year.
  • The first week of October saw $5.9 billion inflows into global crypto ETFs, primarily benefiting Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • The Federal Reserve plans to cease quantitative tightening on December 1, potentially adding liquidity to the crypto market.
  • Analysts suggest that while increased liquidity may ease headwinds, it doesn't ensure higher crypto prices.
  • The broader crypto market struggles with stability, especially in altcoins, due to lack of new investments and regulatory concerns.
  • Jeff Mei from BTSE links the dip in digital assets to potential overvaluation in AI stocks, warning of possible further declines.

Currently, Bitcoin recovered above $103,000 but remains 18% below its all-time high of $126,000 before the market crash.
