According to Tradingview, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, hit a new low of $20,828 at the start of the week. Because of this new pricing, BTC lost 16.54% of its value in less than a day- almost $5,000 in value. Although being the largest and most famous cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is notorious for its huge climbs and equally dramatic declines. For example, BTC skyrocketed to an all-time high of over $69,000 in November 2021, then plummeted to just under $30,000 by the start of 2022.   Related Reading | Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Realize March 2020-Like Losses As BTC Crashes Bitcoin’s value peaked above $30,000 on June 1, 2022, but dropped below that the next day. It is currently trading below $22,000. This decrease is linked to TerraUSD, a stablecoin, breaking its $1 peg and Luna subsequently falling. In addition, it reflects global financial uncertainty driven by increasing inflation as investors seek to sell “riskier assets” such as cryptocurrencies.

He further added that Bitcoin’s potential as a safe-haven asset is being questioned due to this steep decrease. But feels it is too early to look for any links between Bitcoin and other asset classes. Reason Behind Bitcoin Plunging To New Lows One factor contributing to bitcoin’s new lows is the halting of all withdrawals, transfers, and swaps between accounts by Celsius. Celsius, a DeFi platform and one of the largest crypto lenders has been a significant cause of mistrust in the Bitcoin market.  Related Reading | Rich Dad, Poor Dad Author Changes His Mind About Bitcoin?
