The past few weeks have been tough for crypto investors. Indeed, they have been marked by a prolonged market downturn and a growing sense of distrust. Bitcoin, the engine of the sector, has nonetheless recorded a spectacular rebound. Thus, it surpassed $84,000 after having dropped to as low as $78,248. This turnaround raises an essential question: is this a true signal of recovery or just a brief surge before a new phase of turbulence? In the shadow of this rise, major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP have experienced mixed performances. Some may take this opportunity to regain ground, while others remain under pressure.
The crypto market has just experienced one of its most violent downturns in months. After reaching an all-time high of $109,000 on January 20, Bitcoin plummeted by 28%. This drop wiped out billions of dollars in market capitalization in a matter of weeks. Such a brutal reversal comes amid an environment of economic tension and turmoil in the financial markets. But beyond a mere technical correction, several major events contributed to this decline. From macroeconomic fears, record cyberattacks, to political disillusionment, let's look back at the causes of this tumble and its implications.
The Bitcoin market has just experienced a brutal correction. In the span of 48 hours, a massive wave of capitulation has resulted in more than $2.16 billion in realized losses for investors. Behind this drop lies a well-known pattern for analysts: weak hands, often the most recent entrants, have liquidated their positions at a loss. Far from being trivial, this wave of hasty selling raises questions about market strength and investor psychology in the face of sudden corrections.

While the cryptocurrency briefly fell below $79,000, Standard Chartered Bank believes that the correction could intensify, bringing BTC into a range between $69,000 and $76,500 by Monday. This projection is based on several market indicators, including the selling pressure from massive Bitcoin ETF outflows and the increase in short positions by hedge funds. Should this decline be viewed as a simple correction or a signal of a deeper reversal?

The crypto market is buzzing. After a week marked by a sharp correction and intense selling pressure, bitcoin surged to $85,120, rekindling hope among investors and traders.

Crypto has just experienced the heist of the century. On February 21, Bybit, one of the giants of centralized exchanges, was siphoned off 1.4 billion dollars.

Behind this feat is a feared actor: the Lazarus group, the armed wing of North Korea. An unexpected tool at the heart of the scandal: THORChain, the interchain protocol beloved by degens.
The crypto market is going through a turbulent phase. Indeed, Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced a sharp decline of 20% in just three days, bringing its price to around $2,100. Such a sudden correction raises questions: is it merely a moment of volatility or a warning sign for investors? Between unfavorable macroeconomic factors and signs of resilience in the derivatives market, the future of ETH hangs in a fragile balance.

It illustrates a lasting climate of doubt, where the extreme volatility of BTC drives some to give up while others seek opportunities.
