<p>Havoc has officially unleashed – and it’s not looking good. </p> 
<p>Recent turmoil in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market has been driven by the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/japan-stock-market-correction-trigger-crypto-market-crash-bitcoin-ethereum-bleeding/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bank of Japan’s</a> move to raise interest rates from 0% to 0.25%. This, combined with growing worries about a potential U.S. recession, has led to a sharp drop in Bitcoin’s price, which fell to $49,112 before recovering slightly to <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$52,982</a>—a nearly 16% decrease.</p> 
<p>But the damage is done, and experts are warning of even darker days ahead.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-further-declines-on-the-way-what-experts-say">Further Declines on the Way? What Experts Say </h2> 
<p>CryptoQuant, a leading on-chain data and analytics provider, is warning that Bitcoin might drop even further, possibly down to $40,000. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has dropped over 16%, breaking below the crucial $57,000 support level. This sudden decline has raised concerns among crypto enthusiasts, with experts now predicting a potential fall to $40,000.</p> 
<p>According to CryptoQuant, this breach of support indicates a troubling trend. The recent drop has pushed traders into their worst unrealized profit margins since November 2022.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-levels-you-need-to-watch">Levels You Need to Watch </h2> 
<p>CryptoQuant’s analysis suggests that the current price action could lead to more declines, making this a critical time for Bitcoin holders and traders. The recent market crash has erased over $1.06 billion in just 24 hours, as <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">reported by Coinglass</a>. Of this amount, $900 million was lost by those who expected prices to rise, and $160 million was lost by those who anticipated a drop.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-this-level-matters">Why This Level Matters </h2> 
<p>Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez points out an important support level for Bitcoin at around $47,140. This level is crucial because nearly 900,000 addresses hold a total of 489,000 BTC at this price.</p> 
<p>The large number of holdings at $47,140 makes this a key support zone. If Bitcoin can stay above this level, it could show resilience and possibly lead to a price rebound.</p>

<p>However, if Bitcoin falls below this support level, it might trigger more selling pressure from investors who bought at this price, potentially driving the price lower.</p>
