On Monday, Bitcoin reached a high of around $94,400. In the weekly trend, this resulted in gains of up to six percent. Now BTC is reporting losses in the daily trend. Over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has lost 2.40 percent of its market value.
At the same time, the entire crypto market is also losing. Since yesterday, its market capitalization has fallen by 3.13 percent to 3.14 trillion US dollars. Although the weekly trend among the 100 largest cryptos is still dominated by green numbers, losses are already prevailing in the daily trend.
For example, the Ethereum price is falling by around three percent in the daily trend. Among the top 10, Cardano is the hardest hit with losses of around five percent, while Mantle, with -8.35 percent, is the current loser of the day among the top 100.

Some analysts attribute the recent losses in the crypto market to political uncertainty triggered by the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. US forces had arrested Maduro last Saturday.
Other analysts see parallels to US technology stocks. Due to the thematic proximity, negative trends in the classic financial market also have an impact on the crypto market, argues Callum Keown of Barrons.
Price analyst Ali Martinez expects a long downward trend
On Monday, CoinPro already reported on Bitcoin’s latest price developments. After a long low, the cryptocurrency had managed to break through a price value of 91,000 US dollars for the first time since the beginning of December.
Price analyst Ali Martinez had predicted fresh price gains last weekend. Accordingly, Bitcoin will experience a price change of 15 percent. In the meantime, his assessment sounds less optimistic.
Accordingly, the Bitcoin price may experience gains in the short to medium term, but these would be followed by enormous losses.

Martinez compares the upcoming price development of Bitcoin with a historical development from 2021. At that time, BTC had fallen from $67,000 to a market value below $17,000.

The analyst expects a cooling of the crypto market. Only after significant lows will it be possible for Bitcoin and Co. to start a new bull market. Martinez thus contradicts a popular assessment by Bitwise investment manager Matt Hougan, who recently predicted a long-term upward phase.
According to Hougan, the typical four-year cycle is over and will instead be replaced by a ten-year phase of gradual price gains.
