Summary
Bitcoin has dropped below $75,000, a 37% dip from its record high in October, due to macroeconomic factors such as soft earnings reports in the tech sector, declining precious metals, and uncertainty around Kevin Warsh’s Federal Reserve chair nomination. The stalling of the Clarity Act, a crypto bill, has also contributed to investor uncertainty. Other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum and Solana, have also declined. Analysts attribute the downturn to organic deleveraging rather than a structural crisis.

Instead, investors are shying away from risky assets during uncertain times.
The numbers tell a story of investors pulling back from risk.
