Summary
Bitcoin has fallen over 50% from its record high above $126,000 to around $61,000, but analysts view this downturn as a 'mild crypto winter' fundamentally different from previous collapses. The decline is attributed less to crypto-specific panic and more to high US interest rates and a booming AI sector diverting capital. Experts predict the market could recover by late 2026 if monetary conditions ease and institutional demand returns, noting the sector remains healthier than during the 2022 crash.
