The crypto market plunged on December 15, with over $650 million in liquidations as Bitcoin fell more than 4% to under $86,000. The fear and greed index dipped sharply, reflecting heightened market anxiety. Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin all dropped 5–6%. Analysts warn Bitcoin could fall to $83,800 or $70,000 if it fails to reclaim $88,000. The selloff coincided with macroeconomic uncertainty ahead of the U.S. CPI release and a potential Bank of Japan rate hike.
