Bitcoin Slips Back Below $90K — Crypto Correction Now Ranks Among Worst Since 2017, K33 Says

After a rare spot of outperformance on Tuesday, bitcoin has resumed sliding, with one analyst eyeing $84,000–$86,000 as potential local bottom.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin fell below $90,000, losing 4.2% during early U.S. trading hours on Wednesday, while ether dropped 6% to under $3,000.
  • Crypto-related equities more than mirrored the decline, with Strategy (MSTR), BitMine (BMNR) and Circle (CRCL) booking 8%-9% selloffs.
  • Bitcoin’s current slide from its early October record at $126,000 ranks among the steepest 43-day drawdowns since 2017, K33's research head said.

The big news Tuesday was crypto not just posting gains, but also rising even as U.S. stocks sold off. That outperformance has been rare for what seems like months, with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies watching from the sidelines as major stock market averages made new record highs on a regular basis.

Sadly for the bulls, though, normality has returned just 24 hours later, with bitcoin tumbling 4% back below $90,000 even as U.S. stocks manage gains. Ethereum's ether ETH$2,898.10 slid 6.5% to below $3,000.

Crypto-related equities broadly mirrored the price action. Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (MSTR) fell over 8% to more than a one-year low, while stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL), ether treasury firm BitMine (BMNR), miners Bitfarms (BITF) and Hive Digital (HIVE) saw similar declines.

Though well off session highs, the Nasdaq remains up 0.2% just after the noon hour on the east coast.

After relentless downward pressure on prices since BTC's early October record, crypto investors remain deeply risk-averse. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, a popular sentiment gauge, stayed pinned in "Extreme Fear" territory.

Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, noted that the current drawdown — nearly 30% in 43 days — ranks among the worst compared to the seven corrections that lasted over 50 days since March 2017.

Steady outflows from ETFs have also added fuel to the selloff, Lunde said. Investors have yanked nearly $2.3 billion from U.S.-listed spot BTC ETFs through the past five consecutive sessions, Farside Investors data shows.

"BTC swept lows below the average cost basis of U.S. BTC ETFs, and if the current drawdown mirrors the two deepest drawdowns over the past two years, a bottom may form between $84,000 and $86,000," he said. "If not, a revisit of the April low and MSTR’s average entry of $74,433 may be a natural leg lower."

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
