Why is crypto crashing today… again? We here at 99Bitcoins feel like we’re in a time machine.

Our smartest TA guys have been predicting this crash for months, but we also predict the market will bounce and break ATHs soon afterward.

Bitcoin’s plunge below $90K has shattered a month-long streak, leaving the crypto market reeling. Ethereum, Solana, and other key players followed suit, deepening the bloodbath. The question now isn’t just how low it can go, but what comes next for the market? We’ll also discuss a new presale that could perform well in this bear trap.

Why Is Crypto Crashing Today? Nobody Has Any Clue

The picture above is Coindesk’s best guess. Yeah, it’s the Nasdaq futures. Sure sure.

No one can pinpoint the exact cause of this crash, but plenty saw it coming. Fingers are now pointing at Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy’s relentless Bitcoin hoarding as a potential trigger.

Saylor often buys Bitcoin when it is pumping; he borrows against his current Bitcoin holdings to buy more Bitcoin, which is why he constantly buys the top — because he can get more loans.

Another fear is that Saylor will be liquidated. That fear is unjustified, as it would take BTC dropping to around $20,000 for him to be liquidated. And if we ever got that low, investors would buy like maniacs.

Although we ask ourselves once every three months, “Why is crypto crashing today,” you’ll never ever see Bitcoin at 20k again in your life. Ever. It’s impossible.

Don’t Lose Hope, Even Though Trump Rugged the Market

Remember that Bitcoin Strategic Reserve? Where’d it go?  Instead, the U.S. got a committee to think about the idea of considering taking into account a strategic reserve.

It’s a sick joke. The upside is that President Donald Trump’s administration’s volatility correlates with the price action of his first term.

As the old Wall St. says, “The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.”

By keeping 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, Trump may have thrown another wrench into global stability.

Often seen as a hedge against these shocks, Bitcoin isn’t behaving as expected this time; it’s sinking alongside traditional markets.

Where Does Bitcoin Go From Here?

Bitcoin’s slip below $90K could mark a turning point for the market. Institutional enthusiasm hasn’t faded, but retail isn’t buying in like in 2021.

The crypto market’s next move hinges on external forces—from unpredictable Trump-era movements to Michael Saylor to the ending of Ukraine and Israeli wars.

Either way, if we crash to even 75k, we’re not that concerned mid-term.

Why Is Crypto Crashing Today? Buy BTC Bull Token Presale While it Does

With hours left in its first presale stage, BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is increasing the pressure. The new meme coin, priced at $0.00275 in this early phase, has already hauled in $2.7 million.

Investors seem drawn to its unique appeal—Bitcoin airdrops for token holders and steep incentives for buying early.

Bitcoin’s 125% rally in 2024 has it eyeing $150,000, a 54.7% jump from its current $96,974. If it doubles again, $BTCBULL holders inch closer to the first token burn, adding further intrigue to the project.

Historically, crypto thrives a year after Bitcoin’s halving—Februarys alone in post-halving years consistently deliver double-digit Bitcoin gains.

BTC Bull Token investors stand to benefit, especially those staking at 308% APY. Early adopters of $BTCBULL could ride a wave of Bitcoin momentum straight into 2025 while collecting airdrops along the way.

To join the presale, head to the BTC Bull Token site. Use the Best Wallet app to buy $BTCBULL with ETH, USDT, or even a bank card. Best Wallet simplifies the process—no Bitcoin wallet is needed, as everything syncs seamlessly within one app.
