The cryptocurrency market<\/a> has experienced a considerable correction in recent days, with Bitcoin<\/a> falling from $123,200 to $116,600<\/strong>. Additionally, the total market capitalization has retreated by more than 3.7% to $3.65 trillion<\/strong>. Some altcoins like Pump (PUMP), Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), SPX6900 (SPX), and Fartcoin<\/a> (FARTCOIN) have even suffered more significant declines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This correction can be partly explained by profit-taking by investors<\/strong>, a common phenomenon following significant price increases. On the technical front, Bitcoin<\/a> has also formed a shooting star pattern, indicating a possible downward trend reversal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, investors remain in anticipation of the results from the “Crypto Week” in the United States. During this week, Republicans will examine three key bills on cryptocurrency regulation<\/strong>. This regulatory uncertainty weighs on market sentiment and contributes to the decline in prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, it is unlikely that this correction marks the end of the crypto bull run<\/a><\/strong>. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin could retrace to as low as $110,000<\/strong> before resuming its upward trend. This decline could also pave the way for renewed interest in altcoins and fresh momentum for the market as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
