$BTC

The Bitcoin currency experienced a notable decline in its value during the last days of May 2025, as it fell below $108,000 after having exceeded $112,000 earlier in the month. This decline is attributed to several key factors:

1. Profit-taking: Following recent increases, many investors, especially "whales" (large investors), sold large quantities of Bitcoin to realize profits, which increased selling pressure in the market.

2. Geopolitical pressures: The announcement by former U.S. President Donald Trump of imposing 50% tariffs on imports from the European Union and 25% on iPhones manufactured outside the United States led to increased economic tensions, negatively affecting high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.

3. Forced liquidation of leveraged positions: The market witnessed the liquidation of high-leverage long positions, especially as the price approached the technical resistance level at $110,000, contributing to increased price volatility.

4. Preference for gold by central banks: In light of economic uncertainty, central banks increased their gold reserves, considering it a safe haven, while showing caution towards Bitcoin due to its high volatility.
