The cryptocurrency market has suffered a sharp downturn, wiping out almost all gains made earlier in 2025 following a record high in early October. Triggered by massive liquidations and a flash crash, the total market value has declined by about 20% since the peak. Despite this, the sector remains up modestly for the year amid mixed signals from investor inflows and macroeconomic shifts.
Bitcoin has declined about 40% from its October peak of $126,000, entering technical bear market territory amid heavy selling pressure. The cryptocurrency rebounded slightly to around $79,000 on February 2, 2026, but remains down over 10% for the week following $2.2 billion in liquidations. Analysts point to historical support levels near $58,000 as a potential bottom.

A survey by Coinbase Institutional and Glassnode reveals that one in four institutions believes cryptocurrency has entered a bear market, yet the majority still views bitcoin as undervalued. Despite caution, most institutions have held or increased their bitcoin exposure since October 2025. This positioning reflects a preference for bitcoin amid broader market deleveraging.
