Cryptocurrency markets have once again experienced a significant correction, with Bitcoin briefly falling below the psychological level of $75,000 and dropping as low as $74,850, a 24-hour decline of over 4%. Ethereum (ETH) also plummeted simultaneously, down 4.60% within the day, temporarily breaking below the $2,200 support level.
(Previous analysis: Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone: Bitcoin will still crash to $50,000, silver is expected to drop to $50, and if there is a rebound, it’s best to short.)
(Additional background: Bernstein: Bitcoin may bottom out at $60,000, and there is hope to reverse the downward trend and “start a new cycle” by 2026.)
Around 2 a.m. Taiwan time on February 4, the cryptocurrency market experienced another clear correction, with Bitcoin briefly falling below the $75,000 psychological threshold and dropping to a low of $74,850, a 24-hour decline of over 4%.
