Causes of the Decline $BTC Currently
1. Increase in US–China Trade Tensions
President Trump announced an increase in tariffs of up to 100% on imports of critical software from China, triggering panic and a sudden sell-off in global markets, including cryptocurrency assets.
This announcement adds to macro uncertainty and broadly increases market risk.
2. Liquidation of Leveraged Positions (“Longs”)
Many traders use leverage to open “long” positions (expecting prices to rise). When prices reverse, these leveraged positions are automatically “liquidated,” accelerating the decline.
Example: more than US$ 16 billion in long positions were liquidated in a single day.
In just one hour, liquidations reached hundreds of millions of dollars.
3. Outflows from ETFs / Cryptocurrency Investment Products
When prices rise sharply, institutional investors or large funds may take some profits, pulling funds from cryptocurrency ETFs and similar products—creating additional selling pressure.
These outflows weaken the demand cushion that has supported prices.
4. Strengthening of the US Dollar & Increase in Bond Yields (Real Interest Rates)
When the USD strengthens, risk assets like cryptocurrencies are often pressured.
Similarly, high real bond yields mean capital becomes more expensive, leading investors to reduce exposure to speculative instruments.
5. Lack of Positive “New Catalysts” / Overheated Sentiment
After a strong previous rally, the market appears to be entering a correction/consolidation phase—investors begin to “take profit” as there are no new strong news to significantly boost sentiment.
In such situations, the market is easily shaken by small negative news.
