Bitcoin plunged over 15% on Thursday in one of its most severe single-day declines, triggering a cascade of capitulation signals across derivatives, spot markets, and the U.S. Bitcoin ETF complex. The $10,800 drop was marked by extreme volatility spikes, record trading volumes, and momentum indicators collapsing to historic oversold levels, prompting analysts to declare a “capitulation watch” and draw parallels to past crisis events like the FTX collapse and March 2020 crash.

Bitcoin surged to a record $118,667, marking a 25% increase from early 2025. However, analysts predict slower growth due to reduced volatility, driven by a maturing market and sophisticated trading strategies. The options market has expanded significantly, with open contracts exceeding $42.5 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs saw over $1 billion in daily inflows. Institutional investors, particularly through ETFs like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, are stabilizing price movements. Despite this, experts caution that periods of high volatility may still occur, though likely within tighter timeframes.
