Bitcoin Stumbles Back Below $90K as Dollar Sinks to 7-Week Low After Fed Rate Cut
The U.S. dollar, along with precious metals and bond yields, is reacting as expected to easier financial conditions, but crypto remains in a bearish trend.

DXY Index (TradingView)
What to know:
- The U.S. dollar index (DXY) has fallen to a seven week low following the Fed's rate cut on Wednesday.
- Precious metals are soaring and bond yields are falling.
- Bitcoin remains stuck in a downtrend, falling back below $90,000 after the briefest of rallies.
All things being equal, easier Fed monetary policy tends to lead to a weaker U.S. dollar, falling bond yields, rising precious metals prices and gains for risk assets, bitcoin BTC$90,003.93 and crypto among them.
Following the Fed's rate cut yesterday, the dollar is indeed weaker — the DXY falling to a seven-week low — precious metals are sharply higher, with silver touching a new record of $64 per ounce, and the 10-year Treasury yield has pulled back to 4.12% from 4.20%.

In what's become a familiar story, though, crypto is not participating. After (very) briefly rallying above $94,000 in the minutes following the rate cut, bitcoin BTC$90,003.93 has slumped to $89,400, now down 3% over the past 24 hours. Ether ETH$3,191.04 is down 5.5%, while XRP and solana slide closer to 4%.
Possibly souring the mood in crypto are declining AI-related names following Oracle's (ORCL) disappointing quarterly earnings released last night. Oracle has plunged 14% on Thursday, pulling down familiar names like Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom. The Nasdaq is lower by 1.2%.
Bitcoin mining stocks — many of whom have pivoted business models to focus instead on AI infrastructure — are lower alongside: Hut 8 (HUT), Iren (IREN), Cipher (CIFR) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) are among those with losses in the 5%-6% range.
Leading bitcoin treasury player Strategy (MSTR) is off by 6.4%, while crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) is down 5%. Robinhood (HOOD) is lower by 8.3% after a November update showed a disappointing slump in crypto trading volumes.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?
The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s. Source: CoinMarketcap / TradingView Beyond the dogecoin price prediction, DOGE still centers on payments and lacks native smart contracts; ZK-proof verification is proposed,…
