Why did the crypto market crash? 🔥
Bitcoin dropped ~40% from its peak of ~$126K in October 2025, now hovering around $77K-$78K (February 2026).
Main reasons for this perfect storm:
Appointment of Kevin Warsh as the next Chair of the Fed by Trump.
Seen as "hawkish": advocates for high real rates, fiscal discipline, and less easy liquidity. End of cheap money expectations → massive risk aversion. Strong dollar pressured $BTC , gold, and silver.
Liquidations on-chain: +$2.5B in leveraged longs liquidated in days (especially when breaking $80K). High leverage + low liquidity over the weekend = brutal cascade.
Global risk aversion:
Declines in tech stocks, Wall Street, metals. BTC ETFs with strong outflows (billions). BTC acted as a risky asset, not a safe haven.
Geopolitics + macro: U.S.-Iran tensions, partial government shutdown in the USA, inflation data → panic and sales for liquidity.
Deep correction (bear market?), but many see a rebound if the Fed isn't too harsh. Key support: $74K-$75K. Buy the dip or wait for $65K-70K? 🚀📉
