Banks exposed to these troubled loans saw their shares plunge dramatically.<\/p><div class=\"trade-coindcx-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-3886452948\"><script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"clever-core\">\r\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\r\n    (function (document, window) {\r\n        var a, c = document.createElement(\"script\"), f = window.frameElement;\r\n\r\n        c.id = \"CleverCoreLoader101144\";\r\n        c.src = \"https:\/\/scripts.cleverwebserver.com\/fbda060f29d5b8e8c653abce4ac69b7b.js\";\r\n\r\n        c.async = !0;\r\n        c.type = \"text\/javascript\";\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-target\", window.name || (f && f.getAttribute(\"id\")));\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-callback\", \"put-your-callback-function-here\");\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-callback-url-click\", \"put-your-click-macro-here\");\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-callback-url-view\", \"put-your-view-macro-here\");\r\n\r\n        try {\r\n            a = parent.document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\r\n        } catch (e) {\r\n            a = !1;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        a || (a = document.getElementsByTagName(\"head\")[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(\"body\")[0]);\r\n        a.parentNode.insertBefore(c, a);\r\n    })(document, window);\r\n\/* ]]> *\/\r\n<\/script>\r\n<div class=\"clever-core-ads\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Zions Bancorp fell 13% after announcing a $50 million loss, while Western Alliance dropped 11% over fraud allegations linked to its lending portfolio. These banking woes caused the S&amp;P 500 to close down 0.63%, with the Nasdaq and Dow Jones also suffering notable declines. This unease spilled over into crypto markets, intensifying Bitcoin\u2019s downward pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Support Tests<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin&#8217;s drop below the 200-day simple moving average at around $107,500 raised alarm among traders. The cryptocurrency broke important psychological barriers, slipping to as low as $104,000. Analysts pointed to $88,000 as the next major support level if current floors fail.&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"trade-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-3051331957\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/delta\/\" aria-label=\"Delta Exchange Ads\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1.png\" alt=\"Delta Exchange Ads\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1.png 500w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many expect Bitcoin to sweep liquidity between $103,500 and $105,000 before finding a stable bottom. Despite the sharp selloff, the crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index remained at extremely low levels, signaling investor panic but also a potential rebound opportunity. Traders warned patience is crucial to avoid losses from trying to catch a falling knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Short-Term Fears, Long-Term Hope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Short-term outlook remains uncertain, with over $5 billion in leveraged liquidations rattling the market in mere hours. Market sentiment is bearish due to regional bank credit fears and ongoing US-China trade tensions, which add inflation concerns and equity jitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Federal Reserve hints at easing and potential liquidity injections offer hope for recovery. Experts see a 60% chance Bitcoin will test the $100,000 mark, but rebounding higher depends on stabilizing financial conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking further ahead, Bitcoin\u2019s scarcity and rising adoption suggest it remains a strong hedge against systemic risks in traditional banking. For now, cautious investors are advised to watch support levels closely and stay prepared for volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>Written By Fazal Ul Vahab C H<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-1425631722\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin plunged sharply on October 17, 2025, falling to a low of $103,528 amid mounting worries about credit risks in US regional banks.
