#BTCMarketAnalysis BTC remains capped below $92,000 as risk-off sentiment dominates the market

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to struggle to hold above the $92,000 level for more than a month, clearly reflecting the weakening risk appetite across global financial markets. While the S&P 500 has only seen a mild correction and is still hovering near its all-time high, Bitcoin’s price has dropped nearly 30% from its $126,200 peak, indicating capital is moving away from high-volatility assets.
One of the main factors comes from the tightening liquidity policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). For most of 2025, the Fed reduced its balance sheet, withdrawing liquidity from the financial system, which in turn put pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets. Although the Fed has begun to signal a more dovish stance toward the end of the year, investors remain skeptical about the possibility of interest rates falling sharply in 2026.
In addition, capital flows are shifting toward defensive assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds and gold, with the 10-year Treasury yield holding around 4.15%. Amid ongoing global economic uncertainty and weakening consumer demand, Bitcoin’s short-term outlook remains unfavorable, preventing BTC from fully playing its role as a hedging asset in the near term.
