The cryptocurrency market is concluding its worst week since July 2024, with Bitcoin declining nearly 15% to approximately $61,000 and Ether dropping over 17%, approaching the critical support level of $1,420. This decline has resulted in the liquidation of $1.2 billion in positions, predominantly affecting Bitcoin and Ether. Notably, Zcash suffered a staggering 30% drop after a security exploit was revealed, leading to significant institutional sell-offs, including a complete exit by BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes. The broader market is experiencing a structural downturn, with spot trading volume falling to $679 billion, the lowest since October 2023. The decline is attributed to capital rotation towards artificial intelligence investments, compounded by a robust U.S. jobs report that has intensified expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes. As Bitcoin nears critical support levels, the market is left to evaluate whether this oversold condition will lead to a recovery or further declines.
