Bitcoin Plunges to Six-Month Low Amidst Heavy Selling Pressure and ETF Outflows
Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, has fallen to a six-month low, trading near the 90,000 mark and erasing 2025 gains. The cryptocurrency has dropped nearly 30% from its October peak, with its market cap falling below $2 trillion. Analysts attribute the downtrend to relentless selling pressure across derivatives and ETFs, with significant outflows observed. Factors like strong US manufacturing data reducing rate cut expectations and persistent selling post-government shutdown are also cited. The broader crypto market, including Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, has mirrored Bitcoin's decline.
