From 74,059 down to 71,443, a 3.5% overnight drop, with a low of 71,111: the fire sparked by Jensen Huang’s resignation has spread to Bitcoin.
#Jensen Huang resigns as CEO; Nvidia’s strategic direction draws attention (No. 1 trending on the Square, 451 people discussing, captured at 08:03 Beijing time)
Last night, Nvidia officially announced that Jensen Huang had resigned as CEO, president, and board member, effective immediately, ending his 33-year tenure at the helm. CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO. NVDA fell more than 14% at one point during trading, hitting a low of $148.80, and closed down 4.34% at $166.19; the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closed down by less than 0.4%.
As for Bitcoin, $BTC is currently at $71,443, down 3.53% over 24 hours, after hitting a low of $71,111, with 24-hour trading volume of about $610 million; $ETH 2,019 dollars, down 1.91%, with a low of $1,983. At this time yesterday morning, BTC was still at $74,114.
My take: this isn’t a problem with Bitcoin itself; Nvidia has dragged down risk appetite. With the AI leader suddenly changing its leadership on the eve of earnings, the market is pricing in the worst-case scenario, and crypto is being caught in the sell-off. The Square’s Fear and Greed Index has already fallen to 23, putting sentiment in fear territory. Keep an eye on two things next: whether Nvidia’s Q3 earnings report on November 17 can steady the market, and whether the $71,000 psychological level holds. If earnings beat expectations and $71,000 holds, this was an emotional overreaction; if earnings disappoint and $71,000 breaks, we’ll have to watch the $70,000 psychological level. ETH is holding up better than BTC, which suggests this isn’t an issue originating within crypto.
Will $71,000 hold or not? Which side are you on?
