#BTCdropsbelow Bitcoin has officially broken below the critical $63,000 psychological support level today, February 25, 2026. This move marks a significant 50% drawdown from the all-time high of $126,272 reached in October 2025.
📊 Quick Analysis: Why the Drop?
The current "Extreme Fear" in the market is driven by a perfect storm of political and macro-economic factors:
The Tariff Volley: President Trump’s recent announcement of a 15% global tariff on all imports (despite recent Supreme Court challenges) has triggered a massive "risk-off" sentiment. Investors are fleeing speculative assets for traditional safe havens like gold.
Institutional Outflows: Data shows over $1 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows this February alone. Major hedge funds have reportedly slashed their BTC ETF holdings by 28% over the last two quarters.
Whale Activity: The "Exchange Whale Ratio" has hit 0.64, its highest since 2015. This confirms that large holders (whales) are the ones driving the current selling pressure, not just retail panic.
The Citrini Report: A viral, "dystopian" report on the long-term economic risks of the AI boom has rattled tech-heavy sectors, dragging Bitcoin down alongside the Nasdaq.

The Bottom Line: While the $63k break is bearish, historically, Bitcoin "halving" in value from its peak has often preceded the final phase of a market bottom. Bulls are now desperately defending the $60k line to prevent a "massive flush" toward $50k.
