Crypto Weekly (Dec 16 – Dec 22): Bitcoin Peaks and Then Experiences Sharp Correction

The crypto market last week experienced significant volatility as Bitcoin reached a new all-time high (ATH) but then corrected sharply by about 10%, causing many altcoins to lose half their value from their peaks.

Bitcoin Peaks And Then Experiences Sharp Correction

Crypto Market Last Week

The final days of the year brought intense volatility to the crypto market. Last week began with optimism as Bitcoin continued its rally, breaking records by climbing from $103,000 to a new all-time high (ATH) of $108,400. However, after hitting this peak, Bitcoin experienced a sharp correction, plunging to $92,400. At present, Bitcoin is trading around $94,000.

Although the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a 0.25% interest rate cut, its hawkish tone weighed heavily on market sentiment, causing a broad sell-off. Notably, Bitcoin ETFs recorded the largest outflow in history, totaling $672 million in just one day.

The steep correction in Bitcoin led to significant declines in altcoins. Many altcoins lost up to half their value from recent peaks, with some returning to their price levels at the start of the year, despite Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 milestone.
