The cryptocurrency market continues its decline, as Bitcoin (BTC) once again dips to the $63,000 price level. BTC fell to the $63,000 mark earlier this month, but made a recovery to the $71,000 level. However, the recovery was short-lived, and the original cryptocurrency is once again in bear territory. According to CoinGecko data, BTC’s price has dropped nearly 5% in the last 24 hours, 6.8% in the last week, 8.3% in the 14-day charts, and 28.6% over the previous month. According to a Bloomberg report, Bitcoin (BTC) is heading for its worst monthly dip since June 2022. Let’s discuss what the worst case scenario could look like if the cryptocurrency market maintains it current trajectory.
Worst Case Scenario For The Cryptocurrency Market

While the current cryptocurrency market scenario is quite bleak, it is still far better than what happened in 2022. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price fell to the $15,000 level after the collapse of FTX in November 2022. However, BTC climbed to the $100,000 mark for the first time in its history about two years later in December 2024. Those who have been in the cryptocurrency game long enough know that the market moves in cycles. BTC seems to be in one of its dips right now.
As to how much lower the cryptocurrency market may fall, the outcome depends on larger factors. The current market downtrend began in October 2025, triggered by macroeconomic worries. The market took another hit in February 2026 due to a liquidity crunch. Moreover, investors have taken a risk-off approach over the last few months, opting for safe havens such as gold and silver. The cryptocurrency market will likely not recover until the risk-averse trend cools off.
