Four straight days of tumbling prices has seen bitcoin fall to its lowest price since July 2021.
The price crash has coincided with a downturn in the broader financial markets, which has rippled across to other leading cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).
The overall crypto market is now worth less than $1.5 trillion, down by more than half its all-time high last November.
Analysts appear divided over whether the latest collapse is part of a longer-term bear trend, or just a temporary dip in what has been an exceptionally bumpy year for bitcoin.
Falling below $30,000 on Tuesday morning leaves bitcoin on the precipice of a key support level, which experts say could prove an important testing ground for BTC and its future price trajectory.
