The cryptocurrency market has seen another sharp sell-off. $BTC ’s price fell below $76,000, approaching the lows of the current cycle. The move occurred amid low liquidity and affected not only BTC but also major altcoins. Is this a temporary correction, or the beginning of a deeper downturn?
What happened in the crypto market? 🤔
Over the weekend, Bitcoin’s price fell quickly and went below $76,000 for a short time. This happened because fewer people trade on weekends, so prices move faster with less money in the market. Many traders were using borrowed money, and when prices dropped, their positions were automatically closed. Around $800 million was lost in a short period.
As Bitcoin went down, other big cryptocurrencies also fell. Ethereum, Solana, and XRP followed the same direction. Because of fear and low trading activity, prices moved up and down very fast.

Reasons behind the crypto market decline
So why did the market sell off? One of the key sources of pressure was heavy selling through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum. In January alone, investors pulled around $1.6 billion from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the largest outflows occurring in the final days of the month. This suggests that large funds and institutional investors were not buying the dip, but instead reducing exposure — adding to downward pressure.
A similar pattern played out in Ethereum. ETFs tied to ETH also saw significant outflows, while its price briefly dropped below $2,300. At the same time, the market saw little inflow that could offset the selling. As a result, cryptocurrencies declined not because of panic, but due to a simple lack of buyers willing to support prices at current levels.
Additional pressure came from generally weak demand. Large investors and companies that had previously been active Bitcoin buyers have become noticeably more cautious in recent months. Trading volumes have declined, liquidity has thinned, and in such conditions even moderate selling can lead to sharp price drops.
What should you do now? (My analysis & research)
According to my research and market understanding, this is a time to stay calm and patient. If you already have capital, there is no need to rush. The market may move lower in the coming days or within a week.

If Bitcoin comes near $75,000 or $74,000, you can consider a first spot buy in strong coins like BTC, ETH, and SOL. If the market drops further toward $70,000 or $68,000, you can plan a second buy. The $70K zone looks like a strong support area, and there is a good chance the market may move up before breaking much lower.
This drop looks more like manipulation and a healthy correction, not the end of the cycle. One major reason is the expectation of a new Fed chairman close to Trump, and historically, markets tend to react positively to Trump-related developments. That’s why a recovery and pump before deeper levels is still possible.
For now, the best strategy is to protect your capital, avoid over-trading, use spot buying instead of high leverage, and trade safely. Stay patient and enjoy the process.
