The decline in the cryptocurrency market may be due to a combination of factors. Here are the most common ones:

---

📉 1. Negative news or regulations

Governments announcing restrictions (such as the U.S., China, or the EU).

Cases of fraud, hacks, or bankruptcies of platforms (such as FTX or Mt. Gox).

---

💰 2. Massive selling by investors

Large holders (whales) sell to secure profits.

Panic and chain selling occur among the general public.

---

📊 3. Bearish technical indicators

Technical analysis may indicate a downtrend, and traders sell in anticipation.

---

🏦 4. International monetary policy

Interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (FED) lead investors to prefer traditional assets.

The dollar strengthens and risk assets (such as cryptos) decline.

---

🧠 5. Market sentiment

Fear and uncertainty about the global economy.

A single rumor can trigger sharp declines.
