Bitcoin has struggled to reclaim $75,000 as continued withdrawals from US spot exchange-traded funds, weak buying demand, and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate decision have kept the cryptocurrency under pressure.

Why it matters: Bitcoin's price movements are closely tied to economic data and central bank decisions, which influence investor sentiment and market behavior.
