Bitcoin Slips Back Below $90K — Crypto Correction Now Ranks Among Worst Since 2017, K33 Says

After a rare spot of outperformance on Tuesday, bitcoin has resumed sliding, with one analyst eyeing $84,000–$86,000 as potential local bottom.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin fell below $90,000, losing 4.2% during early U.S. trading hours on Wednesday, while ether dropped 6% to under $3,000.
  • Crypto-related equities more than mirrored the decline, with Strategy (MSTR), BitMine (BMNR) and Circle (CRCL) booking 8%-9% selloffs.
  • Bitcoin’s current slide from its early October record at $126,000 ranks among the steepest 43-day drawdowns since 2017, K33's research head said.

The big news Tuesday was crypto not just posting gains, but also rising even as U.S. stocks sold off. That outperformance has been rare for what seems like months, with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies watching from the sidelines as major stock market averages made new record highs on a regular basis.

Sadly for the bulls, though, normality has returned just 24 hours later, with bitcoin tumbling 4% back below $90,000 even as U.S. stocks manage gains. Ethereum's ether ETH$2,898.10 slid 6.5% to below $3,000.

Crypto-related equities broadly mirrored the price action. Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (MSTR) fell over 8% to more than a one-year low, while stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL), ether treasury firm BitMine (BMNR), miners Bitfarms (BITF) and Hive Digital (HIVE) saw similar declines.

Though well off session highs, the Nasdaq remains up 0.2% just after the noon hour on the east coast.

After relentless downward pressure on prices since BTC's early October record, crypto investors remain deeply risk-averse. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, a popular sentiment gauge, stayed pinned in "Extreme Fear" territory.

Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, noted that the current drawdown — nearly 30% in 43 days — ranks among the worst compared to the seven corrections that lasted over 50 days since March 2017.

Steady outflows from ETFs have also added fuel to the selloff, Lunde said. Investors have yanked nearly $2.3 billion from U.S.-listed spot BTC ETFs through the past five consecutive sessions, Farside Investors data shows.

"BTC swept lows below the average cost basis of U.S. BTC ETFs, and if the current drawdown mirrors the two deepest drawdowns over the past two years, a bottom may form between $84,000 and $86,000," he said. "If not, a revisit of the April low and MSTR’s average entry of $74,433 may be a natural leg lower."

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
