Bitcoin Crash Reason: 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.

What to Watch Next for BTC
- Immediate support sits near $111K–$112K. If this breaks, we could see Bitcoin drop toward $108K or even $104K short-term.
- A potential relief bounce may occur, but it must reclaim $116K to flip the structure.
- Keep an eye on volume – if we see high sell volume near $111K, the market may accelerate downward.
- Macro events like further Fed commentary or inflation data could inject new volatility.
