Bitcoin crashed sharply today, falling more than 5 % — slipping below roughly US $86,000 as investors fled risk-heavy assets amid global economic jitters and weaker macroeconomic signals. Its November losses add up to over $18,000, marking the steepest monthly drop since the 2021 crypto crash.

The sell-off comes alongside a broader retreat in equities and other risky assets, as market participants seek safety — causing crypto demand to tumble and triggering heavy liquidations.

For now, sentiment remains fragile: unless demand revives or macro conditions improve, Bitcoin may continue to drift and test lower support levels — making near-term volatility very likely.
