The past few weeks have been tough for crypto investors. Indeed, they have been marked by a prolonged market downturn and a growing sense of distrust. Bitcoin, the engine of the sector, has nonetheless recorded a spectacular rebound. Thus, it surpassed $84,000 after having dropped to as low as $78,248. This turnaround raises an essential question: is this a true signal of recovery or just a brief surge before a new phase of turbulence?

Some may take this opportunity to regain ground, while others remain under pressure.

But beyond a mere technical correction, several major events contributed to this decline. From macroeconomic fears, record cyberattacks, to political disillusionment, let's look back at the causes of this tumble and its implications.
