Bitcoin Slides From $92,500 To $90,500 As Trump-Powell Clash And Retail Losses Stoke Volatility

Bitcoin's price fell from around $92,500 to nearly $90,500 after Jerome Powell issued an unusually sharp statement responding to a criminal investigation into his actions as Federal Reserve Chair. While BTC consolidates below key resistance in the $90,000–$94,000 zone, short-term holders are increasingly realizing losses, with the STH SOPR stuck below 1.00 for over 70 days. This mix of political tension, compressed volume, and retail capitulation is shaping the near-term risk backdrop for the market.
