🪙 Deutsche Bank explains why Bitcoin is under pressure

Bitcoin just had its worst week since February, down over 30% from last month’s peak. Deutsche Bank analysts point to five main reasons:

1. Risk-off mood in markets. Bitcoin is moving like a high-growth tech stock, rather than an independent "store of value".

2. Hawkish Fed signals. Jerome Powell warned a December rate cut isn’t guaranteed.

3. Stalling crypto regulation. Progress on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the Senate has slowed.

4. Institutional outflows. Big investors are pulling money out.

5. Long-term holders taking profits. Early holders are cashing in gains.
