BTC Crashed to $84K Today – Why It Happened & Hold or Sell? Full Analysis! 📉⚠️

Bitcoin took a sharp hit today: Intraday low around $84,300–$84,600 (down 5–6% from ~$89K open), currently trading in the $84,500–$85,200 range. ETH dropped below $2,900, overall crypto market cap under pressure.

This feels like a "crash" but it's a macro-driven correction after the 2025 highs (~$126K ATH, now 30–35% lower).

Main reasons:

Fed held rates steady at 3.50%–3.75% (hawkish stance, no near-term cuts – tight liquidity hurts risk assets like crypto).

Gold surged to record highs above $5,500–$5,600 (safe-haven rally, money rotating out of crypto into gold amid uncertainty).

Geopolitical risks rising (US-Iran tensions, Trump tariff threats, Middle East fears – risk-off sentiment strong).

Heavy ETF outflows (US spot BTC ETFs saw $19M–$1.3B+ outflows in recent weeks, institutions de-risking).

Leverage liquidations in thin liquidity (over-leveraged longs getting wiped, adding selling pressure).

Long-term view remains bullish: Institutional adoption, halving cycle effects, and potential Fed pivot later in 2026 could push BTC toward $90K–$100K+ or higher. This fear zone is often where smart money accumulates.

My advice:

Long-term holders → HOLD strong & accumulate on this dip (best entries usually come in fear).

Short-term traders → Consider selling partial positions or wait for clear bounce confirmation (support ~$83K–$84K).

Avoid panic selling – markets cycle, and dips like this have historically led to big recoveries.
