$BTC Bitcoin’s Reality Check: Is the Bull Run Dead or Just Catching Its Breath?
If you’ve been checking your portfolio lately, you’ve probably noticed the sea of red. After peaking at a staggering $125,000 late last year, Bitcoin has taken a 45% haircut, currently hovering around the $67,000 mark.
But before we declare "Crypto Winter," let’s peel back the curtain on why this is happening and where the rebound is hiding.
The "Why" Behind the Wipeout
Markets don't move in straight lines, and this correction is a cocktail of two major ingredients:
Macro Jitters: The potential for a "hawkish" Federal Reserve (higher interest rates for longer) has investors pulling cash out of "risk" assets like #BTC .
The Great Flush: We just saw over $2 billion in over-leveraged bets get wiped out. In human terms: the "weak hands" were forced out, making the market lighter for an eventual move up.
The Rebound Timeline: When Moon?
The "Bounce" Phase (Next 4-6 Weeks): If Bitcoin can hold the line at $66,000, expect a relief rally. Traders are looking for a quick snap-back to the $75k–$80k range as the "fear" starts to subside.
The "Recovery" Phase (Mid-2026): Many institutional pros are betting on a massive second half of the year. Once the political and interest rate dust settles, the road back to $100,000+ looks wide open.
Right now, the market is in a "Risk Reset." Historically, these moments of "extreme fear" are when the smartest money starts shopping. We aren't seeing a crash; we’re seeing a correction that is washing out the noise.
Pro Tip: Keep your eyes on the $66,500 floor. If that holds, the rebound isn't a matter of if, but when.
