What's Triggering The Crash?

Market analysts point to several converging factors behind today's massive selloff:

Leveraged Position Liquidations - Cascading margin calls have accelerated the downward momentum

Profit-Taking - After Bitcoin's recent push toward $105,000, major holders appear to be securing gains

Regulatory Concerns - Uncertainty in global markets affecting risk appetite

Technical Correction - The market showing classic signs of overheating after three months of gains

"The crypto market has remained exceptionally bullish through early 2025, and this correction was almost inevitable given the pace of recent gains," said one market analyst from a leading exchange.

What Happens Next?

Despite today's dramatic plunge, some experts remain bullish on crypto's medium-term outlook:

Recovery Projections: Prediction markets still price Bitcoin at 58% likelihood of reaching $125,000 or higher by year-end Sam Essenger

Potential Bounce: Technical analysts identify $100,000 as a critical psychological support level for Bitcoin
