The Bear Market Is Here"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Bitcoin price has fallen below $100,000 for the first time in four months, wiping out nearly 6% of its value within a single day.\u00a0 The drop can be attributed to a strengthening US dollar, outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs, and massive liquidations across the crypto futures market, causing investors to question whether the long-anticipated bear market has finally arrived.\u00a0 Notably, Bitcoin\u2019s correction also rippled through the entire crypto sector, <\/a>where the total market capitalization fell below $3.5 trillion for the first time in months.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Crashes Below $100,000<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin has spent the past 30 days with a lack of clear bullish price action. Although it started October with a rally<\/a> to break above $126,000 for the first time, which was a new all-time high, the majority of October was highlighted by the leading cryptocurrency struggling to leave <\/a>the $107,000 to $110,000 price range behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prolonged period of sideways trading hinted at a lack of strong buying pressure, and the weakness has spilled into November.<\/a> This has, in turn, caused the leading cryptocurrency to crash below $100,000 in the past 24 hours, albeit only for a short period.<\/p>\n

A surging US dollar has become one of the biggest headwinds for Bitcoin\u2019s recent price action. The dollar index, which tracks the dollar\u2019s strength against a basket of major currencies, climbed above 100<\/a> for the first time since August. This move reflected growing investor preference for safer assets, especially as uncertainty around the Federal Reserve\u2019s next interest-rate decision continues to hang over global markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The impact of this has been most visible in the crypto sector, where confidence has eroded quickly<\/a>. Bitcoin and Ethereum fell massively as traders exited leveraged positions en masse. The sudden sell-off created a chain reaction of liquidations <\/a>across exchanges that wiped out billions of dollars in futures positions within hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Bitcoin\u2019s case, its market cap dropped by as high as 5.8% in just 24 hours, falling to around $2 trillion. Trading activity has surged massively during the downturn, crossing over $100 billion.<\/p>\n

Is A Bear Market On The Horizon?<\/h2>\n

The crash below $100,000 opens up questions about whether the bear market has officially begun. The Bitcoin price is still up 8% on a yearly basis, but the scale of recent losses alongside the rising US dollar index points to a more cautious phase ahead. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has already rebounded above $100,000 and is now pushing towards $102,000. The rebound means that a section of traders has seized the opportunity to accumulate more during the dip, and Bitcoin is now trading at $101,770.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the Bitcoin price slips below $100,000 again, then it opens up the possibility of an extended decline towards $90,000. On the other hand, bullish technical analysis<\/a> shows that the crash caused Bitcoin to touch its 50-week moving average, a level that\u2019s always preceded a new all-time high.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The last time this support was tested was in April 2025, and what followed was a powerful rebound that sent the Bitcoin price soaring more than 50% to reach $125,000 in the months that followed.<\/p>\n
