Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing significant volatility due to a combination of factors such as a U.S. government shutdown and leveraged liquidations, and the market has raised the prospect that the price could fall to $79,000.

On the 6th (local time), according to Watcher Guru, the Kobeissi Letter said, "Since October 6, more than $1 trillion in market capitalization has evaporated from the virtual asset (cryptocurrency) market," and pointed out that "this is the result of technical factors rather than fundamental ones, and excessive leverage is amplifying market movements."

It added, "Although virtual asset adoption remains at record highs, leverage has risen to unprecedented levels, making market reactions overly sensitive," and analyzed that "since the $20 billion worth of liquidations on October 10, an average of 300,000 traders are being liquidated daily."

The outlet also projected, "According to CoinCodex price prediction data, Bitcoin could fall about 23.26% within a year to $79,436."
