The cryptocurrency market witnessed a sharp collective drop on Friday, May 30, 2025, with most cryptocurrencies losing a significant portion of their value within hours. The main reasons for this collapse can be summarized in the following points:
1. Correction and profit-taking after a bullish wave
The decline came after strong gains during the last week of May, where profit-taking by large investors led to increased supply and the beginning of a widespread selling wave, especially after Bitcoin failed to break through the resistance level at $109,500.
2. Regulatory concerns in global markets
Fears of potential regulatory tightening in Asian markets, especially India and China, have led many investors to temporarily exit the market in anticipation of any sudden decisions that could affect the legitimacy or trading of cryptocurrencies.
3. Selling pressures due to the performance of the dollar and interest rates
The rise of the US dollar and interest rates in global markets encouraged the shifting of liquidity from high-risk assets (such as cryptocurrencies) to safer financial instruments, exacerbating selling pressures.
4. Decline in investor confidence and a sense of caution
Investors exhibited increasing caution as discussions about the reputational risks of banks offering services related to cryptocurrencies grew, in addition to the confusion between traditional banking products and cryptocurrencies, which negatively impacted customer confidence.
5. Technical factors and issues in some projects
Some cryptocurrencies like Pi Network faced additional pressure due to the absence of an official announcement regarding the launch of the open network, and conflicting data regarding the true value of the currency, leading to a wave of selling to take profits or a temporary loss of confidence from speculators.
6. Natural fluctuations in a high-risk market
The cryptocurrency market is inherently highly volatile, and prices often experience sharp declines after each strong upward wave, especially with the absence of new positive catalysts or clarity in regulatory policies.
