Bitcoin Drifts Lower Amid Selling Pressure
Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency, is going down in price.
People who bought it when it was very high are now selling it, which is making the price go lower.
Experts say this is a mild bear market, where there's more selling than buying.
The price has gone down almost 30% since it was at its highest in October.
Even though the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, it didn't help Bitcoin's price.
Experts think the price might stay low until the end of the year, but there's a chance it could go up a bit if things get less negative.
Bitcoin's price is drifting lower with selling pressure from investors who bought near the October high.
Glassnode reports a 'mild bearish phase' with unrealized losses at 4.4%, the highest in nearly two years.
Bitcoin slumped 3.6% to $89,502 on Friday, down almost 30% since its October 6 record high of $126,000.
The slide highlights weak liquidity and fading risk appetite, even after the Federal Reserve's rate cut.
Analysts expect volatility to ease post-FOMC meeting on December 10, with potential for a year-end rebound.
