Bitcoin dropped to near $92,000 early Tuesday morning, retreating from the $100,000 mark amid profit-taking after post-election gains, according to CoinGecko. The total crypto market capitalization fell nearly $180 billion to over $3 trillion. Analysts cited profit-taking and historical patterns of consolidation after all-time highs. Bitcoin has surged over 30% since November 5th, driven by optimism about Donald Trump's pro-crypto platform and upcoming regulatory changes, including SEC Chair Gary Gensler's planned resignation on January 20th.
