recently experienced a sharp decline after reaching an all-time high in March. Factors such as reduced demand, increased miner selling, and bearish market sentiment contributed to the dip.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a roller coaster ride in recent months. After reaching an all-time high of approximately $73,000 in March, the price has experienced a sharp decline, leaving investors and market participants questioning the factors behind this sudden dip.
