$BTC Why the Downturn?

This sell-off is largely a flight from risk assets, amplified by:

Macro Headwinds: Weak U.S. labor data and shifting Fed expectations (now <70% chance of a December rate cut) are spooking markets. Crypto is acting as a "barometer" for broader risk appetite, with AI/tech stocks also tumbling.

Liquidity Crunch: A lingering squeeze is fueling volatility; some firms holding BTC on balance sheets may be forced to sell if prices break $80K, per analysts at Standard Chartered.

Historical Context: BTC is down ~30% from its 2025 high of $126K, but veterans like Peter Brandt see this as a healthy shakeout before a potential $200K bull run by 2029.
