Bitcoin fell to $78,000 on Monday, marking a 27% decline from its all-time high, as crypto and stocks stretched their combined market cap losses to $6 trillion. The selling pressure is largely due to a growing correlation between the asset classes and a shift in investor sentiment toward a risk-off strategy.
The crypto market bled heavily on Monday, declining by 4% and pushing its market cap to $2.67 trillion — a low last seen on November 9. Over the past three months, the increased selling pressure has seen crypto assets shed $1.2 trillion in market cap since hitting a peak on December 17.
