Bitcoin Falls Over 2% to ~$109K — Market Sentiment Turns Cautious

On September 26, 2025, Bitcoin dropped approximately 2.15%, reaching around $109,506. Analysts interpret this move as a sign of short-term caution in the crypto market, as investors grapple with volatility and macro uncertainty.

In parallel, broader market weakness weighed heavily: Ethereum and XRP also suffered losses, with declines of 2.4% and 4.1% respectively. Solana led the drop among large altcoins, sliding 3.1% in one day and down nearly 19.3% over the week.

This downturn followed a large deleveraging event, as leveraged positions were liquidated after recent rallies. The market is now closely watching the upcoming U.S. PCE inflation data—any surprise there could sway the trajectory of rate cuts and crypto sentiment.
