After reaching a historic high<\/strong> of $124,128<\/strong>, Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC)<\/strong> has fallen to around $115,000<\/strong>, representing a drop of 6.8%<\/strong>. This correction<\/strong> follows disruptions<\/strong> in the crypto markets, caused by mixed macroeconomic data and profit-taking<\/strong> by major holders. Despite this decline, investors remain optimistic<\/strong> about the long term<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several factors explain this drop. Macroeconomic data has been disappointing<\/strong>, particularly the higher-than-expected increase in the producer price index. This has tempered hopes for interest rate cuts<\/strong>. Profit-taking by whales has also increased pressure<\/strong> on the market. The results show an increase in BTC inflows<\/strong> to Binance<\/a> and a slowdown in outflows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, cautious comments from authorities, including the US Treasury Secretary, have dampened<\/strong> the bullish momentum<\/strong>. The fact that Bitcoin<\/a> is not being added to national reserves partly explains this correction<\/strong>. However, the market remains attentive to a possible resumption<\/strong> of the bullish trend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
