BTC Stumbles Below $96K as US Traders Dump Holdings—Just Another Day in Crypto Volatility
Bitcoin’s bull run hits a speed bump as American sellers trigger a 5% dip—because nothing says ’stable store of value’ like double-digit swings before breakfast.
Wall Street’s latest ’risk-off’ tantrum spills into crypto markets, proving once again that traditional finance and digital assets remain locked in their dysfunctional love-hate relationship.

BTC Price Outlook
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is consolidating around $94,400 after a brief rally to $97,600 last week. On the daily BTC price chart, the RSI stands at 60, suggesting the largest cryptocurrency remains in bullish territory but is losing momentum.
A further drop in RSI could shift the sentiment to bearish. Immediate support lies near, while. A decisive break below $92,000 support could send BTC further downwards in the short-term.
