Panic has hit the crypto market hard, and the question on everyone’s mind - is this the end of the bull run or just a brutal shakeout before the next leg up?
Here’s the quick breakdown: ➟ Over $1 trillion wiped from the total market cap since early October – 2025 gains erased ➟ Bitcoin crashed below $100K after topping $126K last month – $1.8B in liquidations in a day ➟ Ethereum gave up its entire yearly gains ➟ OG whales unloaded $40B+ in BTC, fueling panic and sell pressure ➟ Leverage unwinds and cascading liquidations smashed the market further ➟ Stock market weakness and fading institutional inflows added to the chaos ➟ Miners struggling as costs rise and profits shrink ➟ Fed uncertainty, U.S. shutdown risk, and China tensions creating macro fear
Bear voices say this could be the start of a multi-year crypto winter. Some see Bitcoin heading toward $70K if key supports fail.
But bullish minds like Saylor and Hayes call it a mid-cycle correction - a chance to accumulate before the next wave.
History shows these brutal dips often clear leverage before explosive comebacks.
