Bitcoin falls below $76,000 amid tech stock selloff
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by CryptoSlate ·
Bitcoin dropped to an intraday low of $75,568 as a sharp selloff in US technology stocks spilled into crypto markets. The move came alongside more than $1 billion in leveraged liquidations, with investors increasingly focused on AI spending concerns and the post-election political backdrop.
Key points
- BTC hit $75,568 before recovering to $76,830.67 at press time.
- About $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours.
- Long positions made up the vast majority of liquidations, per CoinGlass.
- BTC, ETH and SOL were among the main crypto assets hit.
- The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones all fell sharply, lifting risk aversion.
Why it matters
Bitcoin’s move shows it is still trading closely with high-growth tech assets during periods of stress. That linkage means shifts in equity sentiment, AI spending expectations and regulation can quickly affect crypto prices.
