Below $114K After Fed Disappointment

Bitcoin Crash Reason: What Caused the Bitcoin Drop?

The Federal Reserve’s decision to hold rates steady on July 30 created macro pressure on risk assets. Bitcoin, which had consolidated below the $123K resistance, finally gave in and triggered a cascading sell-off across the market. Crypto tends to perform better in low interest environments, and this “no-cut” policy stalled any bullish momentum.
