Bitcoin Falls Below $80,000 as AI Sector Pressures Weigh on Risk Appetite

Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 during trading on Monday as investors grew more cautious about high-risk assets ahead of this week’s US Federal Reserve meeting.

The decline came amid pressure linked to the artificial intelligence sector, adding to the backdrop of weaker appetite for risk.

The move took the cryptocurrency below a closely watched price threshold, with investor caution shaping trading ahead of the central bank’s policy discussions.

Attention now turns to the Fed meeting and any signals it may offer on the outlook for US monetary policy, a key consideration for investors weighing exposure to riskier assets.
