Another crypto market crash is happening, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the Dogecoin price witnessing significant declines. This development comes amid the uncertainty in the market, which is sparking a bearish sentiment among investors.

Crypto Market Crash: Why BTC, ETH, SOL, & DOGE Are Down

CoinMarketCap data shows that a crypto market crash has occurred, with the Bitcoin price sharply dropping below the psychological $95,000 level. The flagship crypto has also dragged altcoins along as they have suffered significant declines. Ethereum and Solana are down over 4% and 9%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Dogecoin price is down over 7% in the last 24 hours.

This crash has occurred amid market uncertainty, with investors currently choosing to stay on the sidelines. Several developments have sparked this market uncertainty, including Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on several countries.

Another macro factor is the Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening (QT) policies, which suggest that the US Central Bank is unlikely to cut interest rates anytime soon. Amid these developments, it remains uncertain when or if Donald Trump and his administration will implement the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which could provide a huge boost to the Bitcoin price.

It is also worth mentioning that the crash in the US stock market could have also contributed to the crypto market crash, as the Bitcoin price is known to correlate to these US stocks at times. The S&P 500 declined by almost 2% last week on Friday, which was the worst day in two months.
