Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Bitcoin fell back below $77,000 as more than $1 billion in crypto positions were liquidated within 24 hours, with the selloff tracking Wall Street's worst session since April 2025. The Nasdaq 100 slumped and AI-linked equities sold off sharply, dragging crypto lower in a broad risk-off move. The scale of liquidations underscores how leveraged positioning amplified the downturn across digital assets. Traders will watch whether Bitcoin can reclaim the $77,000 level and whether equity weakness, particularly in AI names, continues to spill into crypto markets.

Muhabbit's AI wrote this summary in its own words from Cryptoast's report and translated it from French. It can get details wrong, so check the source.
