Bitcoin drops below $63,000, triggering extreme panic; key support levels face testing

February 24 News, Bitcoin continues to be under pressure amid market "extreme panic" sentiment, with the price once dropping to around $62,700. It then rebounded slightly above $63,000, with a 24-hour decline of over 3%. The overall crypto market also weakened, with the total market capitalization of digital assets falling back to approximately $2.25 trillion. Meanwhile, mainstream assets such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana have all experienced varying degrees of correction, indicating a significant cooling of risk appetite. Presto Research analyst Min Jung pointed out that this recent drop below $63,000 for Bitcoin reflects more of a deterioration in market sentiment rather than a single fundamental change. Macroeconomic uncertainties regarding tariffs and rising geopolitical risks have led funds to shift toward safe-haven assets, weakening short-term demand elasticity for crypto assets. The Fear and Greed Index has fallen to 5, in the extreme pessimistic range in history, indicating that market sentiment is approaching a temporary bottom.
