Over the weekend, Bitcoin lost over $7,000 in a matter of minutes, pulling most of the top cryptocurrencies with it.
Recall that the leading cryptocurrency reclaimed the $60k mark and set a new all-time high just a few days ago. But while many analysts were predicting new highs, things took a different turn on Sunday. Bitcoin took a massive price action knock after an outage in the Bitcoin hash rate. Within an hour, the price of the digital asset lost over $7,000, eventually plunging to a low of around $52,000. Consequently, about $10 billion was liquidated on the trading day.
Several theories have tried to give reason to the recent crash. While some blame the hash rate crash caused by a major power outage in China, others are pointing to rumors of upcoming crypto regulations from the United States.
As such, the downward price trajectory is a temporary one. Bitcoin would recover as soon as the hash rate bounces back.
