Bitcoin falls below $80,000 as the Fed week begins Bitcoin started the week under new pressure. BTC fell almost 2% during Asian trading to about $79,800. The move comes before the Federal Reserve decision on Wednesday. Markets generally expect the Fed to keep rates steady, but traders focus on something else: what happens in December? A more national message from the Fed may revive expectations for another rate hike and continue pressure on liquidity‑sensitive assets like Bitcoin. Meanwhile: Brent crude fell toward $114.
The 10-year yield in the US fell below 5%.
Asian tech stocks remain weak.
Major crypto assets fell lower; important: oil and Treasury yields are actually shrinking. Usually this should provide some relief to risk assets. But BTC is still struggling. This indicates traders are reducing exposure ahead of a big macro week instead of reacting to one market variable. One level again is important: $82,500 Bitcoin lost that support last week. Until buyers bring it back, the move below $80,000 remains a warning that sellers still dominate the short‑term structure. $80,000 is being tested. $82,500 is the level buyers need back.
