Bitcoin (BTC) is enduring one of its harshest declines in 2025, recently falling another 4% and dropping below the $100,000 support level. This downturn triggered a wider crypto market correction, with liquidations exceeding $2 billion in the past 24 hours.
The correction that began in October continues into November against the backdrop of the ongoing US government shutdown. Significant profit-taking by whales and institutional investors has amplified downward pressure on BTC.
Earlier today, Bitcoin’s price dropped under $100,000 for the first time since June 2025. On the monthly chart, BTC shows a 22% decline, while altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) have fallen even more sharply.
Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff commented on the situation: “BTC will lose all its 2025 gains, just like ETH did.”
This continuing correction reflects mounting investor caution amid geopolitical uncertainties and large-scale profit-taking by major holders.
Author’s summary: Bitcoin's sharp decline below $100K extends the October correction into November, driven by US shutdown uncertainty and heavy profit-taking by whales and institutions.
