New York, November 19, 2025 (Bharat Khabarnama Bureau) – Bitcoin dropped below $90,000, deepening a month long slide that has erased the cryptocurrency’s gains for 2025 and rocked sentiment across the digital asset world.
The largest token fell as much as 2.8 percent on Tuesday, extending its decline from a record of more than $126,000 set in early October.
Bitcoin last traded below $90,000, eventually tumbling to as low as $74,400 in April after President Donald Trump upended financial markets worldwide with his initial plan for trade tariffs. It recovered some losses to trade at around $91,137 at 8:30 am in New York. The reversal comes amid rising economic headwinds, including renewed concerns over interest-rate policy and stretched valuations across speculative markets.
With traders reassessing the likelihood of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December and stock markets slipping from recent highs, risk appetite has soured leaving Bitcoin vulnerable to further downside. Options traders are betting on deeper losses.
