Am asistat de curând la o scădere a valorii bitcoin-ului cu aproximativ 50% față de vârful său din octombrie 2025, când a atins 126.000 de dolari.
Bitcoin a rezistat la mai multe scăderi care au variat între 70 și 80%, revenind să stabilească noi niveluri record cu fiecare ciclu.
Însă schimbările structurale care au avut loc între anii 2024-2025 au schimbat ceva esențial:
Faza de expansiune următoare poate să nu fie similară cu cea din 2017 sau chiar cu cea din 2021, nu pentru că bitcoin ar fi slăbit, ci pentru că baza sa de proprietate s-a dezvoltat.

#BitcoinDropMarketImpact
The price of bitcoin sank to roughly $62,200 on Feb. 5, 2026, as a full-blown risk-off mood rippled through global markets, fueled by rising geopolitical strain, economic jitters, and a cascade of forced liquidations across the cryptocurrency sector.

Bitcoin Breaches Key Support as Liquidations Snowball and Stocks Stumble
Roughly $2.06 billion in crypto derivatives positions were wiped out as prices cracked key support levels, quickening the slide into what analysts are calling outright capitulation, with bitcoin now tagged as the most oversold since the COVID crash of 2020.

Some see this as the curtain call for the 2023–2025 bull run and the opening act of a bear market, while others frame it as a tempting long-term entry point thanks to deeply stretched conditions. Coinglass.com liquidation data shows 427,278 traders were shown the exit, and of the nearly $2 billion erased, $1.84 billion came from long positions.

More than $1 billion of that damage was tied to BTC longs, setting off a domino effect. Much of the carnage across crypto was pinned on U.S. equities tumbling hard. Wall Street slid in lockstep, and there were no safe corners to hide in.

The Nasdaq led the spill, dropping nearly 364 points, while the Dow gave up a bruising 593, trading like a market battling a nasty macro hangover. The NYSE followed with a 277-point loss, and even the S&P 500 couldn’t stay upright, slipping 84 points. It was a clean sweep of red—stocks sagged, confidence thinned, and risk appetite quietly clocked out early.

At present, the crypto economy is off 13.31% and sits at $2.16 trillion. At press time, after 4 p.m. Eastern, bitcoin has managed to rise above the $64,000 range. By 4:15 p.m., it stood at $63,519 per coin, showing an awful lot of movement in small timeframes.
