Bitcoin fell below $74,000, trading at around $73,813 at the time of publication, down 1.3% over 24 hours. Ethereum dropped to around $2,050, down 2.8% over 24 hours. The total market capitalization of the global crypto market also fell 1.3%, to around $2.51 trillion.

This downturn isn't limited to a single coin. Over the past week, Bitcoin fell a cumulative 6%, while Ethereum dropped 11.4%. Major altcoins including $BNB , $XRP , SOL, DOGE, TRX, HYPE, and ADA saw losses of up to 17.2%.

The pressure is coming mainly from three directions:

U.S. core inflation rose 0.3% month over month in October, above market expectations of 0.2%. Treasury yields climbed, prompting markets to reprice the interest rate outlook. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $201 million in a single day, marking three consecutive trading days of outflows.

Bitcoin is testing the $73,100–$73,500 range, while Ethereum is approaching the $2,030–$2,050 range and the $2,000 psychological level.

This isn't about any one coin suddenly turning weak. Inflation, interest rates, and institutional capital are all hitting the brakes at the same time.
