The global crash and the psychological barrier of $80,000
In the last week of January 2026, the world of cryptocurrencies witnessed an event that many analysts refer to as the 'Great Redistribution.' Bitcoin, the leading digital currency, experienced a dramatic drop, breaking the psychological support of $80,000 and reaching levels of $78,159 – the lowest value since April 2025. This crash is not just a market correction; it represents the erasure of over 30% of the asset's value compared to the historical peak of $126,000 reached in October 2025. For the Bulgarian crypto community, which traditionally takes active positions on the Binance platform, this movement served as a catalyst for a wave of theories suspecting a coordinated attack against small investors.
