Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the recent drop in the bitcoin price? I'm particularly curious about whether it's due to market volatility, changes in regulation, or perhaps a lack of investor confidence. Have there been any significant events or announcements that have sparked this decline? Also, do you believe this is a temporary dip or a longer-term trend? Given the complexity of the 
cryptocurrency market, I'd appreciate your insights into what might be driving this price movement.

    This phenomenon can be envisioned as a crypto-world equivalent of the domino effect, where one event triggers a chain reaction leading to further consequences.

    The recent plunge in Bitcoin's price was not solely attributed to external factors.

    A pivotal internal market mechanism was at the forefront of amplifying the decline, specifically, the cascading liquidations occurring in the derivatives market.

    In the case of Bitcoin, the initial price drop likely sparked a series of forced liquidations in the derivatives market.

    As traders were margin-called and their positions were liquidated, it created a selling pressure that further pushed down the price of Bitcoin.
