Crypto and chip stocks have faced heavy selling over the past two days. The shared pressure: inflation, interest rates, and concerns over AI spending.

Hotter inflation has raised fears of tighter Fed policy. Higher borrowing costs put pressure on expensive tech valuations and make AI data centers more costly to finance. The semiconductor index fell more than 10% from last week’s peak. (schwab.com⁠)

Chip stocks face another challenge: investors are questioning whether future AI revenue will justify today’s spending and valuations. Strong technology demand alone doesn’t guarantee rising share prices. (reuters.com⁠)

Crypto faces similar pressure as traders reduce risk. Leveraged liquidations and ETF outflows have added to Bitcoin’s selling pressure. (bitcoinfoundation.org⁠)

My view: this looks like a broader reduction in risk appetite. Some prices are bouncing, but a green session alone doesn’t confirm a recovery. I’m watching whether buyers defend support and sustain the rebound before calling a bottom. DYOR
