As a seasoned analyst with over a decade of experience in this wild and unpredictable market, I have seen my fair share of rollercoaster rides. This latest nosedive by Bitcoin is reminiscent of the dot-com crash, albeit on a much larger scale.


Earlier this week, Bitcoin‘s price made an effort to regain some lost value, but it was swiftly halted and instead moved downwards. This decline reached a peak today, bringing the price to $55,300 – the lowest it has been in a month.

In contrast to other altcoins, it’s clear that the overall picture isn’t great, as red colors predominate across the charts. However, an exception to this trend is Toncoin.

BTC’s Nosedive Continues

Over the past week or so, there haven’t been many favorable points to discuss regarding Bitcoin’s price fluctuations. The cryptocurrency last surpassed $60,000 on August 29, reaching a peak of $61,200. Unfortunately, it failed to sustain its momentum and was soon pulled back below that significant figure.

Following a drop to around $57,000 in early September, bitcoin briefly rebounded and touched $59,700 due to bullish efforts. However, it lacked sufficient momentum to push beyond this point. Instead, its value began to decline once more.

Yesterday saw another small upward trend as Bitcoin reached approximately $58,500. Once more, this pattern emerged, giving back control to the bearish traders.

As an analyst, I observed a significant pressure that caused Bitcoin (BTC) to plummet to a monthly low of $55,300 earlier today. However, it has managed to regain some ground since then, yet it still hovers around the $56,000 mark, representing a 2.5% drop for the day. The market capitalization of BTC has dipped to $1.1 trillion, and its dominance over the alternative cryptocurrencies (alts) currently stands at less than 54%.

Alts in Red

Recently, many other cryptocurrencies have followed Bitcoin’s lead in terms of their performance. Consequently, they too have experienced a decrease in value over the past day.

Just like Bitcoin, ETH has seen a daily decrease and is now worth around $2,350. Solana and Ripple have experienced steeper drops of about 3.5% to 4%, causing their values to dip to below $130 for Solana and $0.53 for Ripple.

Most large-alt coins are facing a common predicament, as FET, NEAR, and TAO have experienced significant drops in value. However, TON stands out as the exception, reporting a 3% growth for the day.

Despite the latest dip, I’ve noticed that the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization has plummeted by an additional $50 billion in a single day, now standing at approximately $2.050 trillion on CoinMarketCap.
