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

Bitcoin fell below $77,000 and ether dropped 7% as the total crypto market lost 6.8% of its value over 24 hours, erasing much of Wednesday’s post-election rebound. The selloff hit the two largest tokens hardest, with bitcoin giving back the gains that had followed the election. The move matters because it signals that the post-election rally lacked staying power and that risk appetite across digital assets remains fragile. Traders will watch whether bitcoin can hold the $77,000 level and whether ether stabilizes after its sharper decline.
