BITCOIN PRICE DROP! Are we entering a Bear Market?

Are We Entering the Crypto Bear Market?

Since Bitcoin reached its all-time high of around $110,000 in December 2024, we haven’t seen the asset return to such high prices. Now, the situation seems to have worsened following Trump’s “tariff bomb” announcement, which caused not only crypto prices but also global stock markets to plummet significantly.

Immediate Market Impact

This move triggered a domino effect of uncertainty, hitting risk assets the hardest — and as we know, crypto is at the top of that list.

Bitcoin, which had already been showing signs of weakness with lower highs since January 2025, saw a sharp drop, breaking key support levels around $85,000, and is now trading around $72,000.

Altcoins Took an Even Bigger Hit

While BTC tried to hold its ground, altcoins were hit even harder. Ethereum, for example, dropped more than 30% in just the past month, and smaller projects have lost up to 60% of their market value.

In addition, trading volume has dropped drastically, suggesting many investors are either leaving the market or waiting on the sidelines for clearer signs.

Bear Market Incoming or Just a Deep Correction?

The big question is:
Are we really entering a new bear market, or is this just a stronger correction before a rebound?

While no one has a crystal ball, one thing is clear: the global macroeconomic landscape is becoming more hostile, with:

• Rising trade tariffs

• Possible interest rate hikes in the U.S.

• Reduced global liquidity

These factors further pressure risk assets, and investor sentiment is clearly shifting more toward fear than greed.

Disguised Opportunity?

If this truly turns into a bear market, we could see months — or even years — of sideways movement and gradual devaluation. But as history shows, it’s precisely in these moments that the best opportunities arise for those with:

• Patience

• Strategy

• Long-term vision
