Wall Street Slips, Crypto Follows: Why Bitcoin Is Moving With the Nasdaq 📉
📉 US STOCKS SLIP AND CRYPTO MARKET UNDER BROAD PRESSURE
Thursday was a risk-off day. US stocks had their worst session since April 2025, with the Nasdaq down roughly 5% and more than 10% below last month's all-time high. The S&P 500 fell more than 3%, and semiconductors dropped close to 11%. Crypto fell with them.
🪙 Crypto's reaction
₿ $BTC fell about 5.7% to roughly $76,000, a seven-week low, after sitting near $80,000 overnight.
♦️ $ETH dropped about 7.8% to around $2,234.
💥 More than $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated.
🏢 Crypto stocks were hit as well, with Coinbase down about 7.8% and Strategy about 8.3%.
🔍 What's driving it?
🤖 Worries about AI valuations and the sustainability of huge AI spending.
🏛️ Fears that a Democratic Congress could bring tighter crypto and AI regulation.
🛢️ Oil rebounding on fresh Middle East tensions.
💸 About $1.16 billion in spot BTC ETF outflows over three sessions.
📊 Watch
BTC briefly dipped below its 50-week moving average near $75,700. A sustained break below it could open further downside, while a recovery depends on Wall Street stabilizing.
🎯 Takeaway: Crypto is trading as a risk asset, so watch the Nasdaq and semiconductors as closely as the BTC chart. Keep leverage low in volatile sessions.
