- Bitcoin dropped by 4% on Monday.
- A more significant price adjustment could be imminent.
- The competition in AI has led to market fluctuations.
On Monday, Bitcoin’s worth fell, momentarily sinking beneath $100,000 before experiencing a minor rebound. Although some of the losses were recovered, this prominent cryptocurrency still experienced a 4% decline over the last 24 hours, leaving investors feeling anxious.
Experts have highlighted that conversations about the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek and its AI models operating at considerably lower costs than American rivals, such as Sam Altman’s OpenAI, have attracted market interest.
Carlos Guzman, an analyst at the cryptocurrency market maker GSR, informed DL News that China’s progress in artificial intelligence has sparked concerns among investors about the sector’s valuation and the supremacy of American firms in developing markets.

Guzman remarked, “The market perceives this as a potentially adverse indicator for the valuations of leading American tech firms, especially Nvidia, whose valuation already incorporates an AI premium.”
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, foresees that Bitcoin might experience a considerable price correction shortly.
On Monday, Hayes expressed on the X platform, “I anticipate Bitcoin will adjust to a range between $70,000 and $75,000, potentially initiating a minor financial crisis, followed by a return to monetary expansion, reaching $250,000 by the end of the year.”
As the Chief Investment Officer of the investment fund Maelstrom, Hayes has previously forecasted that Bitcoin will follow a price trajectory akin to last year’s. His assessment indicates that Bitcoin will achieve new peaks in the first quarter of this year, cool down during the summer, and then enter a bullish market in the latter half of the year.
Monday’s drop represents the latest in Bitcoin’s erratic beginning to the year.
Nonetheless, analysts suggest that even if investors endure some short-term discomfort, the asset is still projected to double in value this year.
Market Variations Induced by Artificial Intelligence
On Monday, the fall in Bitcoin reflected a notable decrease in the US equity market, with tech shares generally declining.
The stock value of semiconductor powerhouse Nvidia fell by 11.4% within the last 24 hours, mirroring the overall downturn of technology stocks.
Sebastian Feifel, Managing Director of the decentralized cloud service Impossible Cloud Network, remarked, “Clearly, we are currently in the midst of a fierce artificial intelligence arms race.”
Despite the market’s pessimistic view on the rising AI competition from China, analysts within the cryptocurrency sector believe that digital currencies will recover swiftly.
According to Kevin Lache, founder of the tangible asset tokenization platform RAAC, market variations are unlikely to exert a lasting influence on cryptocurrencies.
Lache expressed in an interview with DL News, “Regardless of the origin, cryptocurrencies might emerge as one of the largest beneficiaries of AI expansion.”
