Crypto Weekly (27/01 – 02/02): Bitcoin Drops Sharply to 91,000

1. Crypto Market Last Week

The early days of the Year of the Wood Snake saw a sharp decline in the cryptocurrency market as Bitcoin unexpectedly plummeted from $106,400 to just $91,300, losing over 15% of its value. Meanwhile, the DOM index surged past 60%, causing most altcoins to drop by 20% to 40% within just a few days over the weekend.

The primary cause of this massive liquidation is believed to be concerns over an impending “trade war” between the U.S. and other major economies, triggering market panic and widespread sell-offs. More than $2 billion was liquidated in just 24 hours, leaving many investors fearful and eager to exit the market.
