It was somewhat expected that,关键字1 after weeks and weeks of charting gains and a recent all-time high, bitcoin’s price would eventually retrace, which transpired in the past few days.

But first, let’s go back to the historic events of last week when the primary cryptocurrency, following four months filled mostly with struggles due to global economic uncertainty, broke its January 2025 all-time high and set a new one at almost $112,000 on Pizza Day (May 22).

Since then, though, the asset has been unable to maintain its recent run. At first, it was the latest tariffs recommended by US President Trump, this time solely against the EU, that pushed BTC south by several grand. Although Trump later suspended the tariffs for over a month, this failed to impact the cryptocurrency’s price to a large extent.

It jumped to over $110,000 on a couple of occasions during the business week, but to no avail as each attempt was met with immediate resistance and rejection. The past 24 hours have been particularly painful, as BTC was stopped once again at $109,000 and drove south to a weekly low of under $105,000.

There are some speculations within the community that this was intentionally done to liquidate a certain high-end trader, but the fact is that bitcoin’s price has slumped by over 2% on a weekly scale, even though it has recovered some ground to $105,500 as of press time.

Still, its price decline is a lot less painful than those of DOGE, SOL, ADA, SUI, LINK, and AVAX. The meme coin leads this adverse trend with a substantial 8% weekly drop.
