Why is Bitcoin falling? 4 key reasons: • Higher Fed Rates: December hike expectations raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets over bonds. • Beta Tech Correlation: Weakness across tech and AI stocks, driven by bubble concerns and higher yields, pulls BTC down. • Regulatory Shift: Post-midterm balance of power dampens prospects for crypto-friendly market legislation. • Security Jitters: Recent high-profile platform exploits add caution, even with zero impact on the Bitcoin protocol. Comparing prices to previous cycle bottoms, this is the norm. After Bitcoin finds its cycle low (still pegged at June's $57K), it typically spends months building support before the next sustained leg up. Nothing in the current price action suggests cause for concern.
