CryptoQuant warns that Bitcoin could drop to $40,000 amid recent volatility. The critical support level is at $47,140, with 900,000 addresses holding 489,000 BTC. In the last 24 hours, $1.06 billion has been wiped out, with bullish investors losing $900 million.The recent panic selling in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market has been influenced by the Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates from 0% to 0.25%, along with growing fears of a U.S. recession. Bitcoin’s price fell to $49,112 but has since recovered slightly to $52,982, marking a nearly 16% drop.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/72cd9cf07af24e0a9ec6b0aba445817c.png" /><h3 id="bitcoin-faces-major-decline-potential-drop-to-40-000">Bitcoin Faces Major Decline, Potential Drop to $40,000</h3>Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a dramatic fall, dropping over 16% in the last 24 hours and breaking below the crucial $57,000 support level.
