Crypto majors extend post-Fed pullback as macro risk keeps pressure on risk assets

Bitcoin (~$85.9K, -2.5%) and Ethereum (~$2.95K, -3.6%) are falling for a fourth straight session, continuing the retreat that began after last week’s Fed rate cut and amid renewed anxiety over 2026 policy paths. Reuters and Yahoo Finance note that traders are de-risking ahead of a ‘data dump’ of delayed U.S. jobs, retail sales and inflation figures that could shift rate-cut expectations.
