The **crypto market** dropped 5–10% as Bitcoin fell below $92,000, pressured by worries over a Bank of Japan rate hike and tighter liquidity. The **fear and greed index** has swung toward fear, reflecting broader macro stress. The selloff coincides with the December 19 options expiry and thinning risk-asset flows. Bitcoin now tests $86,000 support, with $74,000 next in line if the **crypto market** breaks lower.
