A bearish crypto market, like the one reflected by the declines in the prices of BNB, BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP in your image (with drops between -4.18% and -9.56% in 24 hours), can be due to several factors. Common causes include:
- **Market sentiment**: Negative news, such as strict regulations or hacks, can create uncertainty.
- **Mass selling**: Large investors (whales) or widespread panic can trigger sales that lower prices.
- **Macroeconomic conditions**: Rising interest rates or inflation can divert investment towards safer assets.
- **Short-term profit-taking**: After strong increases, some traders take profits, increasing selling pressure.
**Examples**: Yes, recently, specifically on June 18, 2025, a significant hack was reported on Nobitex, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Iran, where over $90 million was lost. The pro-Israel hacker group known as Gonjeshke Darande ("Predatory Sparrow") claimed responsibility, indicating that the attack was politically motivated, likely related to recent tensions between Israel and Iran. The funds were transferred to inaccessible addresses, suggesting a symbolic act rather than a theft for profit. This could be contributing to the bearish sentiment in the crypto market that I mentioned. Also, another example is the Posts on X, where they mention movements of a large transfer of 400 BTC to #Binance by a whale that has moved 6,900 BTC since April, which could indicate selling pressure. Additionally, a known investor identified as @AguilaTrades is moving 29.85M $USDC to bet on $BTC , although with recent losses.
