It wasn\u2019t a particularly good week for bitcoin and the broader crypto market, as almost all charts are deep in the red on a 7-day scale.<\/p>\n

It all started at the end of the previous business week after BTC had jumped to $118,000 on Thursday morning following the Fed\u2019s expected rate cut. However, the asset\u2019s rally ran its course prematurely, and it started to lose value gradually, dropping to $116,000 by Friday.<\/p>\n

The weekend went as anticipated, little to no action, but then came the familiar Monday drop. Bitcoin went from just over $115,500 to $112,000, wiping out billions of dollars worth of leveraged positions. The bulls tried to halt the freefall, but their best effort took BTC to $114,000 briefly on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The bears quickly reemerged and initiated another couple of consecutive leg downs. The culmination took place<\/a> earlier on Friday when BTC plunged to $108,600. This became its lowest price tag since the start of the month.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most evident reason behind this collapse is the latest comments coming from US Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The head of the central bank sent<\/a> some mixed signals regarding the inflation levels, which were interpreted as a warning sign for riskier assets like crypto.<\/p>\n

Although BTC has recovered some ground since its local low, it\u2019s still beneath $110,000 as of press time. Its 6.2% weekly decline, though, seems negligible compared to massive double-digit price drops from the likes of ETH, DOGE, SOL, ADA, LINK, AVAX, and especially HYPE, which is down by over 25% following the rise of a new competitor. But more on that later.<\/p>\n

These price collapses are best highlighted by the total market cap\u2019s plunge, which went from over $4.150 trillion at this time last Friday to under $3.850 trillion as of now.<\/p>\n
