Bitcoin Slides Below $90,000 as Crypto Sell-Off Deepens

Federal Reserve policy uncertainty is cited as the key pressure point, with attention turning to Nvidia earnings and delayed U.S. jobs data for near-term direction.

Overview

  • Bitcoin briefly traded under $90,000 and is down nearly 30% from its October peak, according to CoinMarketCap data.
  • At 10:05 CET on November 18, one Bitcoin was about €78,223, reflecting a 5.24% daily drop and a 13.63% decline over seven days.
  • Major tokens also retreated over the past week, with Ether down about 15%, XRP more than 13%, and Solana over 18%.
  • Reuters-linked analysis ties the slide to uncertainty over the U.S. interest-rate path and worsening overall market sentiment.
  • The next catalysts cited by analysts are Nvidia’s results this week and U.S. labor-market figures expected on Thursday.
