Bitcoin Price Slumps to $102,000 as Fed Policy, Investor Sentiment Pressure Markets<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin Price extended its losses today, sliding more than 2.5% to around $102,852 as renewed U.S. dollar strength and investor outflows from crypto ETFs weighed heavily on the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bitcoin price drop comes after Bitcoin\u2019s worst<\/a> October performance in nearly a decade, further denting sentiment among traders already reeling from a historic liquidation event last month.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin briefly traded below $103,000, its lowest level in over two weeks, breaking below the critical 200-day moving average \u2014 a key gauge of long-term market momentum<\/a>, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data.<\/p>\n

Since then, Bitcoin has rebounded to above $104,000 at time of writing. <\/p>\n

According to market analyst Damian Chmiel, a sustained break below $100,000 could trigger<\/a> a sharper sell-off toward the April lows near $74,000, implying a potential 30% downside from current levels.<\/p>\n

According to updated Polymarket data, there\u2019s now an 80% chance of the Bitcoin price falling below $100,000 before 2026<\/p>\n

Fed policy shift and macro headwinds<\/h2>\n

The broader macro backdrop remains unfavorable for risk assets. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s comments last week walked back<\/a> expectations of a December rate cut, reinforcing the \u201chigher for longer\u201d interest rate narrative.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That shift has boosted the U.S. dollar while simultaneously pressuring non-yielding assets such as Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Adding to the selling pressure, ETF investors have withdrawn more than $1.8 billion from Bitcoin and Ether products over the past four trading days, data shows, while open interest in BTC perpetual futures has fallen about 30% from its October peak, signaling a pullback in leveraged exposure.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin price technical breakdown<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s $106,900 support level \u2014 aligned with the 0.146 Fibonacci retracement \u2014 was repeatedly tested last week<\/a> but ultimately failed to inspire follow-through buying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analysts now view $104,000 as the next line of defense, though this level has already been tested twice and is increasingly fragile.<\/p>\n

If $104,000 breaks decisively, traders are eyeing $96,000 as the next significant support zone. On the upside, bulls must reclaim the 21-day EMA and Point of Control around $111,000 to reestablish momentum, followed by resistance at $114,600 and $122,000, per Bitcoin Magazine Pro.<\/p>\n

Bearish bias persists<\/h2>\n

The overall market mood remains bearish as traders continue to deleverage and avoid aggressive long positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crypto market is facing multiple near-term headwinds,\u201d said Derek Lim, head of research at Caladan, according<\/a> to Bloomberg. \u201cIt\u2019s already fragile from October\u2019s massive liquidation event and a string of protocol exploits.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Bitcoin\u2019s technicals under pressure and macro catalysts lacking, traders are looking ahead to the November 13 Consumer Price Index report for a potential shift in sentiment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cooler inflation data could reopen the door for Fed easing \u2014 a development bulls desperately need to reverse the trend. For now, however, Bitcoin remains on the defensive, with sellers firmly in control and a close below $100,000 threatening to accelerate the slide.<\/p>\n
