The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a wave of declines, leaving investors concerned as the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices fall sharply. Despite experiencing a period of recoveryearlier this week, all three digital assets are now facing renewed downward pressure. The latest price declines are driven by both macroeconomic uncertainty and internal market factors, underscoring how sensitive the crypto market remains to changes in investor sentiment. FED Skepticism Fuel Decline In Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin
The recent decline in cryptocurrency prices comes amid growing doubts over the Federal Reserve’s (FED) approach to interest rates. Recent remarks from FED officials, including the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, have cast uncertainty on whether the central bank will deliver a third consecutive easing of policy during the December FOMC meeting.

According to Bloomberg reports, Kashkari notedthat recent economic data suggested more resilience than was initially anticipated, sparking a debate over the necessity of further rate cuts. This cautious stance has unsettled financial markets, causing investors to reconsider earlier positions as former expectations of a rate now appear uncertain.
Notably, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have reacted sharply to the prevailing sentiment caused by the doubts in monetary easing. Their prices have plummeted, accelerating the broader correction that has been dragging onfor months. This decline is also being augmented by large-scale whale sell offs and lingering ambiguity surrounding new developments in the previous US government shutdown.

In addition to macroeconomic factors, market dynamics are also contributing to crypto losses. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that the Bitcoin price crashedbelow $97,000 for the first time since May 2025. It has fallen more than 5% over the week and dropped another 6.4% in a single day. Related Reading Analysts Share Forecasts As Ethereum Price Struggles Below $4,000, And It’s Very Bearish 1 week ago
Amidst this decline, long-term BTC holders are reportedly sellingat record levels, fueling the downtrend. Additionally, institutional demand is weakening while investor sentiment has turned negative. Even Spot Bitcoin ETF activity is plummeting, recording over $866.7 million in net outflows yesterday—the second largest in its history.
Ethereum has also been hit hard, losing more than 10% in the past 24 hours and over 5% this week. The price has steadily trended downwardfor weeks and shows no clear signs of recovery. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $3,200, down more than 35% from the ATH levels above $4,950 set in August this year.
Dogecoin, while only slightly affected by the broader bearish trend, is now trading at $0.165. It has fallen by approximately 2.3% during the week and by an additional 8% in one day. Collectively, these widespread declines suggest that the market may be experiencing a period of extreme stress, as all three cryptocurrencies have recorded double-digit monthly losses.
