Bitcoin dips below $80,000 ahead of Fed meeting, investors eye possible December rate hike.

Bitcoin fell below $80,000 in Asian trading as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's Oct. 27-28 meeting for signals on a potential rate hike in December. At 06:30 UTC, Bitcoin traded around $79,949, down 0.8%, while Ether dropped 1.5% to $2,313.

The Fed's upcoming meetings and economic projections will be key for crypto and stock market liquidity.
