Bitcoin Crashes: A Study Reveals the Hidden Factors

The cryptocurrency market has experienced several sharp downturns in recent years, leaving many investors wondering what causes such significant price drops.

A study by Pluang suggests that a key factor contributing to Bitcoin crashes is the presence of excessive leverage. When leveraged positions become too high, even small market fluctuations can trigger forced liquidations, leading to rapid price declines.

This phenomenon is often exacerbated by macroeconomic events such as Federal Reserve rate hikes or changes in regulatory policies. Such shifts can send shockwaves through the market, causing prices to plummet and dragging down altcoins and memecoins along with them.
