<p>The broader crypto markets have been tumbling over the past month, with a more profound fall in the first week of May. As the markets fell, bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) started to drop from its local top of roughly $30,000 in the last week of April.</p>
<p>Bitcoin registered its deepest local price drop on May 12 — plunging to around $26,290 — as the global crypto market cap witnessed a $140 billion loss in just 24 hours.</p>

<p>A Twitter user says that people waiting for BTC to drop to the $10,000 mark “will be gravely disappointed.”</p>
