Why Bitcoin Falling Like This?
Here’s some big reasons:

Hack Problem
In February, big hack happen in crypto exchange. Around $1.5 billion was stolen. Many people then sold Bitcoin fast.
Big Investor Going Away
In end of 2024, big investors was buying through ETF. But now, in 2025, they removed $1.1 billion. That drop price more.
Ethereum Also Dropped Badly
Ethereum also not doing well. In January, it was at $3,688. But in March, it just go down till $2,090.Most NFTs use Ethereum. So when ETH going down, NFT market also feel the pain.

In 2017 and 2021, Bitcoin went down then up again. Ethereum also bounced back. So maybe now also it happen.
