Bitcoin Plunges $600 Billion From Record Highs Amidst Volatility
Bitcoin experienced a significant decline from its record highs in October, losing approximately $600 billion in market value. Despite strong Wall Street support, institutional investment, and political tailwinds, the cryptocurrency's rally faltered without a clear trigger. This volatility, while expected in crypto, has led to evaporating conviction and widespread anxiety among traders. Some analysts are reverting to the four-year halving cycle theory, noting the April 2024 halving and the October price peak align with historical patterns of booms followed by busts.
