BTC prices are currently down 12% from their all-time high of just above $108,000 on Dec. 17, and the correction appears to be deepening.<\/p>\n
The asset hit an intraday low of $93,810 during trading in Asia on Monday morning but recovered quickly to tap $96,000 before another slip.<\/p>\n
Those losses have resulted in a \u201cbearish engulfing\u201d weekly candle, as reported by crypto analyst \u201cRekt Capital.\u201d All of the gains over the past month have now been wiped out in the correction.<\/p>\n
\u201cBitcoin is showing increasing signs of transitioning into a multi-week correction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Federal Reserve\u2019s cautious policy outlook has tempered optimism over Trump\u2019s embrace of the crypto sector.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, BTC remains up more than 40% since Trump\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n \u201cWe should hold the $90,000 level for Bitcoin into the year-end, but if we break below that could trigger further liquidations,\u201d Sean McNulty, director of trading at liquidity provider Arbelos Markets, told<\/a> Bloomberg.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, David Lawant, head of research at crypto prime broker FalconX, said the \u201clow-liquidity environment may bring more volatility as we enter into the final days of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n He pointed out that Dec. 27 will also likely see the biggest crypto options<\/a> expiry event of its history, with almost $18 billion in notional value BTC and ETH contracts expiring.<\/p>\n Additionally, spot Bitcoin ETFs shed almost $950 million on Thursday and Friday as investors were rattled by the market pullback.<\/p>\n There are a handful of altcoins<\/a> showing minor bounces from their correction dips this Monday morning.<\/p>\n Solana (SOL) made 2.2% on the day to reach $186, Chainlink (LINK) was up 5.1%, topping $23, Toncoin (TON) made 3.5% to reach $5.50, and Stellar (XLM) was up 3%, trading at $0.363 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin Correction Deepens, Sees Worst Week Since Trump Win<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BTC prices are currently down 12% from their all-time high of just above $108,000 on Dec. 17, and the correction appears to be deepening.
