Bitcoin Slides Below $80,000 Amid Tech Sell‑off and Hawkish Fed Stance

Bitcoin briefly fell under $80,000 as a broad risk‑off sentiment was triggered by a decline in tech stocks led by Alphabet and Samsung, coupled with a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve. The move saw crypto futures liquidate $356 million worth of positions. The dip reflects heightened market caution toward risk assets and underscores the sensitivity of Bitcoin to macroeconomic signals and institutional sentiment.
