Bitcoin, crypto stocks caught in AI trade meltdown, but Wintermute trader sees 'glass half full'
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Bitcoin and crypto-linked equities sold off alongside a broader AI stock rout, with roughly $1 billion in leveraged crypto positions liquidated as the post-election rally reversed. Crypto assets nonetheless outperformed the AI names that led the decline, a relative resilience a Wintermute trader characterized as a “glass half full” signal. The episode ties crypto sentiment to the same momentum trade driving AI stocks, so weakness in that complex remains the main transmission channel to watch. Next, traders will monitor whether liquidations cool and whether bitcoin holds its recent range while AI shares stabilize.
