**Bitcoin** slid to a 10-month low as the global market rout deepened, intensifying pressure on cryptocurrencies.

The world’s largest digital asset fell as much as 2.5% overnight to $74,541, hovering near its weakest level since **Donald Trump** returned to the White House just over a year ago.

Bitcoin ended January down nearly 11%, marking its fourth consecutive monthly decline and the longest losing streak since 2018. Analysts warned that momentum remains firmly to the downside.

Losses spread across the broader **crypto market**, with **Ether** down around 4% and **Solana** weaker by 1.6%.

Caroline Mauron, co-founder of **Orbit Markets**, said: “A further drop through the 2021 highs around $70,000 would represent a damaging long-term confidence hit.”
