Fact Check
The evidence provided by the sources overwhelmingly and consistently confirms the statement. Multiple high-authority financial news outlets, including Bloomberg and Reuters, directly report that Bitcoin's price fell below the $100,000 mark. Bloomberg specifically notes that Bitcoin "sank deeper below the $100,000 mark," and Reuters confirms it "briefly fell below $100,000." This direct reporting is strongly corroborated by data from top-tier cryptocurrency aggregators. CoinGecko reports an all-time high of $126,080 and a subsequent drop of over 22%; a simple calculation ($126,080 * (1 - 0.22) = $98,342.40) confirms the price fell below $100,000. This is further supported by a Yahoo Finance report of a slump of nearly 20% from a similar peak. There are no contradictions among the sources; in fact, a contextual Bloomberg article establishes that the price was trading *above* $100,000 the day before the drop, providing a clear and logical timeline for the event. The cumulative weight of direct statements, supporting data, and the high credibility and consistency of all sources makes the statement verifiably true based on the provided evidence.
