Bitcoin Falls Below $100,000 Amid Global Risk Aversion

Bitcoin once again fell below the USD 100,000 threshold and is trading near USD 95,000 on Friday, in a session marked by a renewed wave of global risk aversion. The fall re-ignites alarm signals in a market that, unlike previous episodes, shows simultaneous signs of capital outflows, reduced liquidity, and a deterioration in institutional appetite. According to data from global platforms, the main cryptocurrency has accumulated a retreat of over 20% since its October peak, when it reached record levels. The movement is not due to a single factor: in recent hours, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to the asset recorded outflows of around USD 870 million, one of the largest daily outflows since its launch. This is added to the liquidation of over USD 1 billion in leveraged positions, a sign of forced liquidations in a market that has once again been exposed to its own volatility. Furthermore, analysts warn that the decline is occurring in a context where market liquidity has decreased by about 30% from the year's peaks, which amplifies every movement and leaves Bitcoin with few levels of support until the USD 90,000 zone. 'The ecosystem's sensitivity to macro tensions remains very high,' explain local operators consulted by Noticias Argentinas, who note that the market 'is operating lighter and with less depth' than in previous cycles. International uncertainty adds another ingredient. Today, with a more tense international financial context and a crypto market without the influx of capital it showed in previous months, sentiment is once again leaning towards caution. After the brief respite on Wall Street due to the end of the U.S. government shutdown, delayed economic data and doubt about whether the Federal Reserve is in a position to proceed with rate cuts in the short term have once again pressured riskier assets. This realignment was almost immediately transferred to the crypto universe, which is traditionally more sensitive to global fluctuations. The retreat contrasts with the surge the cryptocurrency had recorded at the beginning of October, when it surpassed USD 126,000 driven by institutional purchases and a weak dollar.
