The #crypto market has been volatile with significant downward pressure recently. $BITCOIN briefly dipped to near $72,000–$74,000, hitting its lowest levels since late 2024 before modestly rebounding toward the mid-$70K range. Total market cap has dropped sharply, wiping out nearly $470 billion in value amid broad sell-offs and liquidations. Ethereum and many altcoins have also fallen, though some small tokens showed short-term gains. Market sentiment remains cautious as investors de-risk, while regulatory discussions and policy meetings in the U.S. continue to influence sentiment.
