The post BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL Price Drop Ahead of FOMC Meeting<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuesday began on a weak note as selling pressure plunged the crypto market down by 2% as the sentiment slipped into FEAR territory. Bitcoin (BTC), the flagship crypto, erased most of yesterday\u2019s gains and slid below $88,000, pulling major altcoins like ETH, XRP, and Solana lower along with the broader market.<\/p>\n

ETH, XRP, SOL Follow Bitcoin Price Pull Back<\/h2>\n

The weakness in Bitcoin quickly spilled over into major altcoins. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, dropped around 2.3%<\/a>, trading near $2,973. While XRP and Solana (SOL) also saw a decline of 2% to 3% drop, reflecting broad-based risk-off sentiment rather than token-specific news.<\/p>\n

Other large-cap altcoins, including BNB, Cardano, and Avalanche, also traded lower, showing that today\u2019s move is largely market-wide. <\/p>\n

Why the Crypto Market Is Under Pressure?<\/h2>\n

Several factors appear to be weighing on prices this morning. First, year-end trading is thin, so even small sell orders are causing sharp price moves. This was seen yesterday when Bitcoin briefly jumped above $90,000<\/a> before quickly falling back below $87,000.<\/p>\n

At the same time, institutional demand is slowing. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows on nearly 70% of trading days in December, while Ethereum also faced steady outflows. However, XRP and Solana ETFs continue to see inflows, offering limited support.<\/p>\n

Adding to the caution, investors are waiting for today\u2019s FOMC meeting<\/a>, looking for signals on inflation and possible rate cuts in early 2026.<\/p>\n

Precious Metals Outshine Digital Assets<\/h2>\n

While crypto struggled, precious metals posted strong gains. Silver jumped to a record $83 per ounce due to supply shortages in China, Dubai, and Australia, pushing its total market value to about $4.3 trillion<\/p>\n

Gold also made headlines, briefly hitting a fresh all-time high of $4,552 before pulling back nearly 5%, erasing part of its recent gains. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, copper extended its December rally, rising as much as 8.4% this month to trade near $5.6, supported by strong industrial demand expectations.<\/p>\n
