Bitcoin Drops Near $80,000 as "Great Crypto Crash of 2025" Unfolds
On November 21, 2025, Bitcoin tumbled to $80,600, suffering its steepest monthly drop since the 2022 market meltdown and wiping out over $1.2 trillion in value within a month and a half.

Key support to monitor is the $80,000 area, where Citi analysts say many ETF investors are concentrated. If ETF outflows persist or new macro shocks emerge, the decline could continue, but stabilization in futures interest or renewed institutional buying may signal a bottom.
