Bitcoin Records Sharpest Weekly Drop Since 2022 as Accumulation Hopes Emerge
Key Facts
Amid a violent sell-off shaking digital asset markets, Bitcoin recorded its worst weekly performance since the FTX collapse in November 2022, sparking fears of a deep market correction. According to reports, Bitcoin closed the week ending June 5 with a sharp decline of nearly 20%. Despite this drop, current on-chain metrics suggest the market may be approaching a major macro accumulation cycle rather than a structural breakdown.
This collapse coincides with global macroeconomic pressures, as U.S. labor market data released on June 3, 2026, showed ADP employment growth of 122K, exceeding the 117K forecast per market data. This divergence, coupled with the UK Construction PMI falling to 38.2 (below the 40.2 forecast), triggered massive liquidations in high-risk assets, pushing the total crypto market cap below the $2.12 trillion mark.
Traders are now monitoring psychological support levels following Bitcoin's low levels at the close of June 5, 2026. Looking ahead at the economic calendar, investors are focusing on upcoming Fed official speeches for liquidity clues, as analysts suggest that maintaining current accumulation levels could pave the way for a sustainable growth trajectory in the coming months.
