#RiskRewardRatio Bitcoin's price has dipped below $80,000, currently trading around $75,628, due to global market volatility and fears of a potential crash similar to 1987's Black Monday. This decline is also attributed to US President Donald Trump's sweeping trade tariff announcements, which wiped out $8.2 trillion in stock market value.¹ ²
