\"Why<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Bitcoin has lost more than $53,000 in value over the past four months, extending a sharp downturn that has erased much of last year\u2019s rally and left investors searching for signs of stability.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin peaked near $126,000 in October 2025 and has since fallen to around $73,200, its lowest level this year. The decline has wiped out more than $1.1 trillion from Bitcoin\u2019s market value and pushed it roughly 42% below its all-time high.<\/p>\n

The selloff has also dragged <\/a>down the broader crypto market. Ethereum is down about 56% from its peak, reinforcing concerns that digital assets remain stuck in a prolonged downturn.<\/p>\n

Crypto Falls as Stocks Hold Near Records<\/h3>\n

The contrast with traditional markets has been striking.<\/p>\n

U.S. stock indexes remain close to record highs, with the S&P 500 down about 1.5% from its peak, the Nasdaq off roughly 3.6%, and the Russell 2000 lower by around 4.2%. Crypto markets, by comparison, have suffered far deeper losses.<\/p>\n

That gap has fueled speculation among some investors about market manipulation or deeper structural problems in crypto.<\/p>\n

Analysts Reject Manipulation Claims<\/h3>\n

Julio Moreno, a crypto market analyst, pushed back against the idea<\/a> that the drop signals something broken behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

He said Bitcoin\u2019s broader trend since 2023 had been upward until late last year, when momentum shifted. \u201cWe made a new all-time high,\u201d Moreno said, arguing that 2025 was not a bear year overall despite ending in the red.<\/p>\n

According to Moreno, the change came in November, when Bitcoin\u2019s trend turned downward after falling below a long-watched technical level.<\/p>\n

A Clear Bear Signal Emerges<\/h3>\n

Analysts point to Bitcoin\u2019s move below its 365-day moving average as a major warning sign. That indicator has historically marked the shift from bull markets to bear markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen price drops below the one-year average, that level tends to become resistance,\u201d Moreno said. In past cycles, including 2022, similar moves were followed by extended declines.<\/p>\n

This time, he said, the downturn has been worse than early 2022, suggesting a more prolonged correction.<\/p>\n

He now sees several important price levels shaping what comes next.<\/p>\n
