The drop came amid renewed caution in global markets following November\u2019s worst monthly performance for Bitcoin in over four years. Spot Bitcoin ETFs also faced heavy outflows, adding pressure to the market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"315\" data-end=\"664\">\n<h2 data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"717\">Market volatility highlights Bitcoin\u2019s risk<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"970\">Monday\u2019s sudden decline surprised many investors, coming just days after Bitcoin briefly rebounded from $80,000. Analysts point to a mix of profit-taking, thin liquidity, and macroeconomic uncertainty as the main drivers behind the sell-off.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"1018\">Tom Essaye from the Sevens Report explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1164\">\n<p data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1164\">\u201cBitcoin remains a hyper-volatile, speculative asset. It still moves in sync with risk appetite. When markets tighten, Bitcoin falls harder.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1384\">While demand from corporate holdings, financial transactions, and spot ETFs exists, it remains small relative to Bitcoin\u2019s total supply. Currently, spot ETFs account for only about 6% of all Bitcoin in circulation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"970\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1429\">Macro events keep investors on edge<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1622\">The crypto market is closely watching U.S. macroeconomic developments. Expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut have risen to nearly 90%, giving hope for easier financial conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1910\">However, uncertainty around the timing and scale of the rate cut continues to fuel volatility. Investors are also monitoring Washington, where President Trump is expected to announce a nominee for Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s successor, a decision that could impact global markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1910\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1917\" data-end=\"1951\">Crypto stocks feel the pressure after Bitcoin\u2019s fall<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"2032\">Bitcoin\u2019s drop affected crypto-linked stocks as well.

Investors are closely monitoring whether this rebound can sustain momentum or if December volatility will persist.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2716\" data-end=\"2865\">These gains indicate that while Bitcoin drives overall market sentiment, <strong data-start=\"2789\" data-end=\"2848\">altcoins are benefiting from selective risk-on behavior<\/strong> among investors.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2716\" data-end=\"2865\">\n<h2 data-start=\"2872\" data-end=\"2900\">What Traders Should Watch<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2902\" data-end=\"3018\">Bitcoin\u2019s rebound offers short-term optimism, but analysts advise caution.
