If you had put money in Bitcoin at its all-time high in October 2025 of 126,000, you would be incurring nearly 47 percent losses at the moment. Bitcoin is now trading at approximately 66,000, and the whole crypto market is bleeding.
However, why is that so, and more to the point, what should Indian investors do?
How Come Crypto Is Crashing by 2026?
It is not only a crash related to crypto. It is a full-fledged macro crisis that strikes all risk assets simultaneously. The war between Iran, Israel, and the US has caused oil prices to rise to above the $100 a barrel mark, which has caused a wave of fear in world markets. And that was on top of the US imposing import tariffs of 15 percent, the Fed rates delaying, and a 14-billion option that had expired, crushing the crypto market by at least an estimated 0.8 billion dollars in one week.
The Fear and Greed Index remained at Extreme Fear throughout the last 46 consecutive days—the first time it has been that low since the 2022 collapse of FTX.
What Is the Position of Key Coins?
What Is the Position of Key Coins?
- Bitcoin — ~$66,000 (down 47% from ATH)
- Ethereum — below $2,000 (down 60% from ATH)
- XRP, Solana: -3057 highs-lows.
Should the Indian investors buy now?
Experts are divided. A single camp says the support level of $66,000 is quite strong, and records of an almost stablecoin supply of almost a record high of $316 billion present the capital waiting to come back home. The other camp cautions that Bitcoin will continue to fall another 30 percent to hit 50,000 in the future unless the war in Iran worsens.
Indian investor: Smart play. Do not go all-in at this point. Assuming the long-term belief of the crypto, choosing to buy in small bits instead of a lump sum is recommended with a SIP style. Invest only what you can lose without having to sell your soul, especially in war-driven macro crises.
All previous crypto crashes have gone on to recover afterward. It is hardly ever possible to tell when the bottom is in. Abide by the news and abide by patience.
