Why is Bitcoin Price Down Today? ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐Ÿ“Š Bitcoin Dips Amid Uncertainty
Bitcoin (BTC) is down -2.87%, trading at $92,326. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) also dropped by -6.92% and -2.4%, respectively. BTCโ€™s steep correction retested the critical $90,000 level, raising concerns among investors.

๐Ÿ“‰ Impact of Economic Data on Bitcoin
Strong jobs data has reduced the likelihood of significant rate cuts in 2025. The Fedโ€™s hawkish stance, reinforced by the Nonfarm Payroll report, has contributed to Bitcoinโ€™s uncertain trajectory, as markets adjust to reduced expectations of monetary easing.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Technicals Signal Exhaustion
BTCโ€™s rally from $67,000 to $100,000 within 30 days left inefficiencies in the market. Technicals now indicate profit-taking and exhaustion, making a reversal likely. Analysts warn that BTCโ€™s fast-paced rise may lead to a retest of lower support levels.

๐Ÿ“‹ Speculation Around Trumpโ€™s Inauguration
The November rally was fueled by speculation surrounding Donald Trumpโ€™s election victory. With his January 20 inauguration nearing, many traders are closing positions, contributing to price drops. Speculation about a โ€œsell-the-newsโ€ event has shaken market confidence.

๐Ÿ“ Key Support Levels and Potential Targets
Bitcoinโ€™s key support level is $90,804. If breached, BTC could fall to $89,355, $85,083, or $73,646. Alternatively, a bounce from $90,804 could push BTC toward $102,810 and possibly its ATH at $108,374. Traders remain cautious as uncertainty looms over BTCโ€™s next move.
