Bitcoin fell to $90,000 following the Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point rate cut, which came with cautious guidance. Analysts noted that the Fed's mixed signals created uncertainty in risk assets, dampening expectations for a year-end rally.

After a tough week, crypto markets are seeing modest gains, driven by profit-taking from shorts and some positive economic data. A decrease in consumer sentiment signals potential changes in Federal Reserve policy, which may impact interest rates. Bitcoin's volatility continues as leverage in derivatives trading raises concerns about its stability.
