Bitcoin is back below $80K, and the timing isn't looking good.

BTC is trading around $79,800 as traders reduce risk ahead of Wednesday's Fed decision.

ETH is down nearly 3%, XRP is near $1.28, and SOL is struggling to hold $100.

The bigger concern? A hawkish Fed could mean tighter liquidity for crypto, while the AI selloff is adding pressure across global markets.

For Bitcoin, $82,500 is the level bulls need to reclaim. Until then, calling this just a dip looks premature.

One important risk: if the Fed signals higher rates for December, selling pressure could continue.

I'm watching the Fed's tone more than the rate decision itself.
