Geopolitical developments, including a new tariff threat from former President Trump against Canada, pushed BTC down to $86,000 on Sunday and Monday. Bulls briefly pushed it back above $90,000 midweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Federal Reserve paused interest rate cuts at 3.25%\u20133.50%, which initially had little effect. However, renewed geopolitical tensions, including threats toward Iran and U.S. carrier movements, contributed to BTC\u2019s decline. By Thursday, Bitcoin fell below $86,000 and later dropped to $81,000, its lowest in over two months. It has since rebounded slightly to around $83,000, leaving it down more than 7% for the week. Other major altcoins including ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, ADA, and BCH also posted losses, while tokens like HYPE and CC saw double-digit gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Market Data:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market Cap: $2.9T | 24H Vol: $214B | BTC Dominance: 57%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BTC: $82,700 (-7.2%) | ETH: $2,730 (-6.2%) | XRP: $1.76 (-7.3%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin and many altcoins experienced another volatile week as January nears its close, with BTC dropping to its lowest level in over two months.
