Bitcoin just hit $80K, then got dragged down to $76K! What’s going on?
The brief post-election rally quickly reversed as a wave of selling in AI and chip stocks spilled over into crypto. Investors are worried about AI’s future and the health of major tech companies.
The semiconductor index plunged 8%, Tesla dropped 9.5%—and $BTC couldn’t hold its ground. Massive leverage amplified the reaction: $428 million in long positions were liquidated in one hour, turning a correction into a rapid crash.
This shows that $BTC is becoming increasingly sensitive to sentiment in traditional tech markets. Brief optimism was wiped out by fears over AI spending and interest rates.
Could this be a sign of a new cycle in which $BTC is closely tied to tech stocks?
