The cryptocurrency market bled nearly $1 trillion in a brutal November 2025 correction, with **Bitcoin (BTC)** plunging below $82,000 before clawing back to $83,509—a 5% daily skid dubbed the “Great Bitcoin Crash.” **Ethereum (ETH)** dipped 3.80% to $2,809, while altcoins like **Polygon (POL)**—formerly MATIC—hovered at $0.1375 (up 3.07% amid the rout) and **Chainlink (LINK)** traded near $13.33, down 25.96% yearly but resilient in DeFi chaos. Amid Fed cut odds at 45% and geopolitical tremors, this **crypto market crash**—fueled by liquidations and risk-off sentiment—has undervalued gems, per analysts, signaling a historic mispricing for long-term plays.
Why pounce now?
