BTC Drops Below $43,000: Could Trigger Massive Altcoin Season For Ether, XRP, Cardano, Solana, Shiba Inu Bitcoin (BTC) faced a substantial correction, plummeting to $42,140 on December 11, marking a sharp 9% dip. This downturn erased the gains made over the past week and pushed BTC to a four-month low at $41,005, signalling a stark market shift. The price correction in Bitcoin was swiftly followed by a ripple effect across altcoins, with many witnessing double-digit declines. Analysts and market experts, however, view this plunge as a natural progression within the ongoing market cycle. A correction of this nature was expected after a bullish surge extending for two months.
