Bitcoin’s $90K Support Gives Way, Triggering Wider Crypto Market Decline Bitcoin’s consolidation at around $90K did not last long, and several hours ago its price plummeted to a two-week low of nearly $85K. On the surface, it looked like there wasn’t a major factor that had triggered the sell-off, but a deeper look shows some potential reasons. One of those is the reduced chance that the pro-crypto Kevin Hassett would become the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Polymarket now leans towards Kevin Warsh, who has a rather cautious view on the crypto industry and has supported the creation of a CBDC in the United States. The plunge to approximately $85,100 appears to have been the local bottom (at least for now), as buyers managed to reclaim some lost ground and currently $BTC trades around $87,700. Following the recent drop, the asset’s market capitalization tanked to roughly $1.72 trillion, whereas its dominance against the alternative coins stands at 59.2%. The Alts Suffered More Serious Losses As it usually happens, the altcoins mimicked BTC’s move, and many of them witnessed even more substantial declines. Aster (ASTER) dropped by 12% on a 24-hour scale to around $0.81, whereas Midnight (NIGHT), Pump.fun (PUMP), Ondo (ONDO), and Worldcoin (WLD) also headed south by double digits.

The movement occurred without a single evident trigger, but market readings pointed to possible factors that helped increase selling pressure in the short term. At the time of publication, Bitcoin is currently trading at US$86.291,10, down 3,5% on the day, reflecting caution among market participants following the sudden correction and increased volatility in major market pairs.
