<p>On November 22, Bitcoin reached a historic peak of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitcoin-price-to-possibly-hit-100000-in-next-few-hours/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$98,975.79</a>, thrilling investors and crypto enthusiasts alike. But just days later, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/why-is-bitcoin-going-down/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin’s price</a> took a sharp dip, dropping by around 6.16%. </p>   
<p>What’s even more intriguing is that, during this downturn, several altcoins have been making impressive gains. Ethereum, Sandbox (SAND), and Stellar (XLM) are shining brighter, and the altcoin market as a whole has seen a boost of 2.38%.</p>   
<p>Could this be a sign of a major shift? Let’s explore what’s happening and why it matters.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-price-decline-an-overview-nbsp">Bitcoin Price Decline: An Overview&nbsp;</h2>   
<p>In the last 24 hours, the BTC market has dropped by more than 5.9%.

Since the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/2024-us-elections-result-donald-trump-officially-elected-president/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">US presidential election</a>, Bitcoin has grown by more than 37.04%. Many experts predicted that BTC would <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/this-whale-activity-suggests-100k-for-bitcoin-btc-price-this-week-but-who-is-selling-btc-right-now/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">touch the milestone of $100K soon</a>. However, the new trend indicates that the market may have to wait longer to reach the milestone.&nbsp;</p>
