Bitcoin held near $76,000 Thursday afternoon as the Nasdaq sank deeper into a correction, crypto liquidations topped $1 billion, and crypto-linked equities sold off sharply, according to Bitcoin Magazine.

Bitcoin and Ether Under Pressure

Bitcoin traded around $76,000 in the afternoon session. The move came alongside a broader decline in technology stocks, with the Nasdaq falling further into correction territory.

Ether also weakened, dropping 7% to $2,247.74, while Bitcoin slid about 6% to $75,700 in the latest session.

Liquidations Top $1 Billion

Total crypto liquidations reached $1.03 billion, according to the report, as the selloff accelerated.

Crypto-Linked Stocks Fall Double Digits

Equity proxies for crypto exposure sold off in double digits:

  • Strategy
  • Coinbase
  • Bitcoin miners

Earlier Slide and Partial Rebound

The latest session followed a sharp move in the prior day’s trading. Bitcoin fell more than $5,000 in under a day to an intraday low of $75,568 on November 5, then recovered to $76,830.

The report linked the pressure to fears of an AI bubble, which it said wiped $2.5 trillion from Wall Street, while a Nasdaq chip rout erased $140 billion in crypto market cap in just four hours.

The selloff also reversed Bitcoin’s post-election gains, according to the report.
