â What we observe
The price of $BTC Bitcoin is currently around 95,000 USD (â 95,431 USD according to the source) and has significantly declined from its recent highs.
This drop is accompanied by strong position liquidations, particularly of 'longs' (bullish bettors).
Several key technical 'supports' have been broken (for example, the 100,000 USD level), creating a reinforced bearish sentiment.

đ Why this drop?
Here are the main identified factors:
1. Macroeconomic conditions & declining liquidity
The decline of liquidity in the American financial system (low bank reserves, withdrawal of monetary support) is cited as a key factor.
The uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's decisions: for example, the hope for a rate cut (which could boost 'risk' assets) has diminished, which weighs on Bitcoin.
2. Market sentiment/risk and correlation with other 'risky' assets
Bitcoin is increasingly treated as a 'risk asset', so when markets become cautious, it suffers too.
The volume and market depth for BTC have decreased, making the price more vulnerable to large movements.
3. Technical and structural market factors
Falling below significant support levels triggers automatic/algorithmic selling and exacerbates the decline.
The lack of buyers to defend these levels makes the drop more 'free'.
4. Reduced demand / potential oversupply / outflows
Fewer new buyers, some capital outflows (e.g., via crypto ETFs) may create a supply-demand imbalance.

đŻ Implications for the investor
The fact that $BTC drops relatively quickly shows that volatility remains high. Bitcoin should not be considered a stable asset.
For those with a long position (betting on the upside), this situation can be stressful or require a reassessment of risk.
For long-term investors, some may see this as an 'entry opportunity', but it totally depends on your horizon, risk tolerance, and understanding of the crypto market.
For short-term traders, support breaks and liquidations are important signals to watch.

đź To watch / What could change the game
A rise in hopes for rate cuts (or conversely a surprise increase) from the Fed could strongly influence sentiment.
An improvement in banking/financial liquidity: if reserves rise or if a capital influx returns, it could stabilize or revive BTC.
The support level around â 92,000-94,000 USD is often cited as a key zone. A break below could open a stronger decline.
Positive demand signals (for example via institutional adoption, inflows into crypto-ETFs) could change the dynamics.
External events (regulation, hacking, financial crisisâŠ) can trigger sharp movements in either direction.

đ§ź My personal opinion
I believe the current drop is the combined result of macro factors (liquidity, rates), micro market factors (volume, technical support), and sentiment. This is not necessarily the beginning of an irreversible total collapse, but it highlights that the market is not 'safe'.
If I had to bet:
In the short term, there remains a risk of a deeper decline if support does not hold.
In the medium/long term, I remain moderately optimistic about Bitcoin (if one believes in its role as a digital reserve asset or 'digital gold'), but that doesn't mean an immediate rebound â the path is likely to be volatile.
It is crucial not to over-invest in an asset that can lead to rapid losses, and to have a clear strategy (either wait for a better entry or limit losses).
