Bitcoin (BTC) has teased the potential onset of its bear market after dropping to a four-month low. The flagship coin dropped over 5% on Tuesday, November 4, to reach a range low of around $99,955 before rebounding to trade about $101k at press time.

The sudden Bitcoin price selloff influenced the wider altcoin market led by Ethereum (ETH), XRP, BNB, and Solana (SOL). As such, the total crypto market cap has shed nearly $400 billion in valuation during the past 24 hours.

Why is Bitcoin Price Dropping Today?

Whale capitulation amid retail conviction 

According to on-chain data analysis, Bitcoin whales have accelerated booking profits in the recent past while retail traders have continuously bought the dips. Bitcoin wallets with a balance of between 10 and 10k sold nearly 38.4k BTCs since October 12 to date.

Meanwhile, retail traders, with a balance of above 0.01 BTCs have accumulated 415 coins since October 12. 

“Bulls need to see this trend completely flip in order to expect a sustained price rebound for all of crypto. Markets rise when key stakeholders accumulate the coins that small wallets shed,” Santiment noted.

Heavy long liquidation: long squeeze inbound

Following the ongoing crypto bloodbath, more than $1.1 billion was liquidated from leveraged traders. Notably, around $1.01 billion involved long traders, thus fueling the impact of a long squeeze.

Midterm fear of further capitulation to fill a CME gap at $92k

Following the sustained choppy crypto market, CoinMarketCap’s Fear and Greed index dropped to around 27/100, signaling extreme traders’ fear.

BTC CME Futures

The fear of further capitulation is heavily rooted in the fact that the Bitcoin CME Futures has an unfilled gap between $92k and $93k.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
