CZ tweeted four years ago: BTC "collapsed" from $101,000 to $85,000, waiting for news headlines

This morning (19th) at 3 am, after the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision was announced, although it announced a 1-notch rate cut, lowering the benchmark interest rate to 4.25%-4.5%, due to the reduced expectation of a rate cut next year, BTC began to enter a downward trend, with BTC plunging from a high of $104,800 to a low of $100,000, a short-term drop of as much as 4.6%. As of the time of writing, it is currently reported at $100,504.

Another possible reason for the selling pressure is that in the press conference after the FOMC meeting, Fed Chairman Powell said: "We are not allowed to hold <BTC>..."
