Crypto Rollercoaster: Bitcoin Plunges, Altcoins Follow, Analysts Predict Parabolic Recovery

Bitcoin experienced a sudden 6.5% drop, falling below $41,000 and erasing nearly a week of gains. The decline also affected other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, which fell over 8.9%. The drop caused over $270 million worth of long positions to be liquidated and wiped out around $1.2 billion in open interest on BTC. This marks the largest single-day decline for Bitcoin in over a month, following a period of significant growth.
