Bitcoin slips below $80K ahead of Microsoft, Google earnings and FOMC
- —BTC trades near $79K, testing the lower bound of a descending channel
- —META's post-earnings slump deepened the risk-off mood in AI stocks
- —WTI crude rose above $103 amid Israeli elections and Iran-related risks
- —Microsoft and Google earnings land alongside the FOMC decision Thursday
Why it matters: A mix of AI-stock weakness, expensive oil and the Fed meeting could push bitcoin out of its $79K–$85K range to the downside.
