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

Bitcoin held just above $75,000 on Friday as a post-midterm technology selloff swept Asian markets, with South Korea's KOSPI dropping as much as 9% and tripping a circuit breaker while Japan's Nikkei slid into a bear market. More than $1 trillion in market value was erased across Asian equities in a single session. The divergence matters because bitcoin's relative stability suggests crypto is weathering the risk-off move better than regional stocks, though the correlation could be tested if selling deepens. Traders will watch whether the $75,000 level holds through the weekend and whether Asian equities stabilize when trading resumes.
