Bitcoin Price Falls Nearly 50% from All-Time High Amid Ongoing Volatility

Bitcoin's price has dropped significantly since its all-time high of $126,198 in October 2025, falling roughly 49% to 50% by July 30, 2026.

The cryptocurrency had reached a low near $57,000 in June 2026 but has since partially recovered to around $64,500 as of July 30, 2026.

Despite this recovery, analysts caution that the longer-term trend remains lower and the bottoming process after a peak can extend for many months.

The UK's cryptoasset market remains largely unregulated, with no consumer protection, and tax on profits may apply depending on individual circumstances.
