Bitcoin Price Plunges 8% to $84,000 as December Opens With More Market Jitters<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin price fell sharply to the mid-$84,000s early Monday, sliding 8% over the past 24 hours as a wave of macro anxiety, thin liquidity and fresh crypto-native stress hit markets simultaneously.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest digital asset traded between a 24-hour high of $91,866 and a low of $84,722, extending a two-month drawdown that has now erased more than 30% from October\u2019s record highs, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro <\/em>data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The downturn marks a swift reversal from last week\u2019s tentative recovery. After plunging<\/a> below $81,000 on Nov. 21, the Bitcoin price steadily climbed into the end of November and briefly pushed above $92,500 during Black Friday\u2019s morning session.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But momentum reversed again Sunday evening, with BTC slipping back below $85,000 early Monday. At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is $86,469. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Why is Bitcoin price dipping?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Multiple forces might be behind the renewed selloff. The most immediate shock could be from a security incident<\/a> at Yearn Finance, where a flaw in the protocol\u2019s yETH pool allowed an attacker to mint an abnormally large amount of tokens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The exploit flooded the pool with invalid supply and triggered a rush for the exits across DeFi \u2014\u00a0 spilling over into majors like BTC and ETH.<\/p>\n

But macro pressure has been building in parallel. A sharp spike<\/a> in Japanese government bond yields \u2014 part of a broader global repricing of interest-rate expectations\u2014sparked a risk-off move in Asia trading hours, hitting an already fragile, low-volume crypto market.<\/p>\n

Comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda signaled<\/a> the possibility of a December rate hike \u2014 an event that would be Japan\u2019s first move away from negative interest rate policy in years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The remarks sent Japan\u2019s 30-, 10-, and 2-year government bond yields to their highest levels since 2008. A stronger yen could force hedge funds that borrow cheaply in Japan to unwind carry trades, adding fresh pressure to bitcoin and other risk assets.<\/p>\n

According to 10x Research, last week marked<\/a> one of the lowest-liquidity stretches since July, leaving order books thin and amplifying the impact of institutional selling.<\/p>\n

The result was a deeper drawdown than fundamentals alone might suggest. Bitcoin\u2019s market depth evaporated over the weekend, turning what might have been a modest correction into a full-scale liquidity event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More than 220,000 traders were liquidated over 24 hours, with total losses exceeding $630 million.<\/p>\n

The derivatives picture underscores the imbalance: Bitcoin price futures open interest fell by $1.1 billion leading into the decline, suggesting traders had already started de-risking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Monetary policy uncertainty remains at the center of investors\u2019 anxiety. Markets now assign an 80%\u201387% probability<\/a> that the Federal Reserve will cut rates by 25 basis points at its Dec. 9\u201310 meeting.<\/p>\n

Rate cuts would be supportive<\/a> for the Bitcoin price, boosting liquidity and risk appetite. But if the Fed opts to hold steady, traders fear a sharper unwind across risk assets.<\/p>\n

Corporate developments added another wrinkle. Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) said Monday it created a $1.4 billion reserve\u2014funded by common-stock sales\u2014to cover at least 21 months of preferred-stock dividend payments amid Bitcoin\u2019s slide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company, which now holds 650,000 BTC, also reported purchasing another 130 BTC last week for $11.7 million.<\/p>\n

Last week, fresh disclosures showed<\/a> BlackRock ramping up its exposure to its own spot Bitcoin ETF while JPMorgan rolled out a high-stakes structured note tied to the fund. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin price briefly dipped to $86,129 before rebounding above $90,300 amid ongoing Q4 volatility. BlackRock\u2019s Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio now holds 2.39 million IBIT shares worth $155.8 million, up 14% from June, signaling deeper internal allocation to BTC-linked assets. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, JPMorgan\u2019s new derivative-style note lets institutions bet on IBIT\u2019s future price, offering a 16% fixed return if targets are met next year, and up to 1.5x upside by 2028 if Bitcoin surges.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is rebounding up to $86,469. \u00a0<\/p>\n
