Bitcoin Falls Below $100K as Traders Eye Federal Reserve Guidance
Bitcoin fell under the $100,000 mark to $96,831.50 following a 6.04% decline, with 24-hour trading volume surging 56% to $144.88 billion — a sign of intensified volatility and heavier activity among traders. Despite the pullback, Bitcoin’s market capitalization remained around $1.93 trillion, indicating continued participation from long-term holders even as prices fluctuate.
Traders said attention is squarely on Federal Reserve guidance, which is shaping risk appetite and driving short-term moves across digital assets. With heightened volume and uncertainty, investors will be watching Fed remarks and macro data for clues on liquidity and rate expectations that could either stabilize prices or trigger further downside pressure in the near term.
