Why is Bitcoin dropping? BTC falls below $80,000 as February's crypto selloff continues
Briefly

Cryptocurrency markets are experiencing a severe downturn, notably Bitcoin, which has dropped over 16% this week. Trading at about $79,900, Bitcoin has fallen sharply from its previous high of over $95,000. This drop has been accompanied by declines in other cryptocurrencies, leading to investor fear. Psychological barriers, like $80,000, often shift market sentiment, exacerbating the downturn as optimism turns to pessimism. Coin values have not been this low since late 2024, signaling a challenging period for investors in these digital assets.
Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop of more than 16% over the last five days, falling below the critical psychological threshold of $80,000.
Recent trading totaled around $79,900 per Bitcoin, down significantly from its high of above $95,000 just a week ago, reflecting investor fear.
