Bitcoin is currently trading in the $72,000 to $73,000 range, which is a huge drop from its October 2025 highs of over $126,000. We are currently in the middle of a four-month losing streak, which is the longest since 2018. Why the Dip is Happening Macro Headwinds: The "easy money" era has been tempered by concerns over a "hawkish" Federal Reserve and tariff threats from the Trump administration .Institutional Outflows: Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which experienced huge inflows in the previous year, have experienced huge outflows in the recent past (over $500 million in a single trading session in late January).Market Sentiment: The Fear & Greed Index is currently at a chilling 12, indicating "Extreme Fear." This is a contrarian indicator for long-term investors, but it indicates huge panic in the short term. #BuyTheDipOrWaitNow

Bitcoin's current trading price is between $72,000 and $73,000, well below the October 2025 high of over $126,000. We are currently experiencing four consecutive months of losses, the longest since 2018. Why is there a decline? Macro resistance: "Loose monetary" era affected by concerns over the "hawkish" Federal Reserve and tariffs threatened by the Trump administration. Institutional fund outflows: Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant inflows last year, but recently there have been large outflows( with daily fund outflows exceeding $500 million) in one trading session. Market sentiment: The Fear and Greed Index is currently at a chilling 12, indicating "Extreme Fear." This is a contrarian indicator for long-term investors but also suggests significant panic in the short term. #BuyTheDipOrWaitNow
