Bitcoin slides to 10-month low near $74,500 as silver rout hits risk assets

Bitcoin slides to 10-month low near $74,500 as silver rout hits risk assets

Bitcoin dropped to a 10-month low in Asia on Monday, slipping as much as 2.5% to $74,541 and staying under $76,000 by midday. This puts it close to its lowest point since Donald Trump’s return to office, after an almost 11% plunge in January that extended losses for a fourth consecutive month. The crypto slump mirrors a sharp selloff in precious metals, prompting exchanges to tighten trading rules amid wild price swings. CME Group hiked margin requirements—the cash needed to hold futures positions. Tim Waterer at KCM Trade pointed to “forced liquidations and margin increases” triggering a “cascading effect.”

MCX silver price hits lower circuit again; gold under ₹1.45 lakh as Budget 2026 ripples through markets

MCX silver price hits lower circuit again; gold under ₹1.45 lakh as Budget 2026 ripples through markets

Silver futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India crashed to a 9% lower circuit, hitting the day’s down limit at ₹2,41,744 per kg on Monday—plunging about 42% from last week’s peak of ₹4,20,048. Gold April futures weren’t spared either, sliding more than 5% at one point to ₹1,40,001 per 10 grams. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said, “The ₹1,43,000 – ₹1,45,000 zone continues to act as a strong dynamic support.” The impact cuts deep, considering India is one of the world's biggest bullion markets. Even the so-called slow-moving hedges aren't immune to this shockwave. Sharp price drops trigger leverage effects: traders get margin calls, offload positions during the downturn, and push prices into more volatile territory.

Bitcoin dropped roughly 4% to $75,441 on Monday, continuing a weekend decline that pushed the top cryptocurrency back to prices not seen since mid-2025. Ether plunged close to 10%, hitting $2,191.05. The selloff isn’t confined to crypto. Warsh’s nomination as the next U.S. central bank chief has lifted the dollar and hammered precious metals, deepening the market’s “risk-off” stance.

  • S&P 500 Up 10% in 2026 as Valuations Stretch, Investors Weigh Risks
    July 4, 2026, 8:23 AM EDT. The S&P 500 has climbed 10% so far this year, with the Nasdaq-100 up about 17.5%. Both gauges posted double-digit returns over the last three years. Strong earnings growth has helped drive the rally, but the Shiller CAPE near 41 matches highs not seen since just before the 2000 tech bubble, raising flags for the outlook. Higher-than-4% inflation, geopolitical jitters, and weaker GDP numbers add to the caution. Investors looking to hedge may rotate some money out of tech and growth, moving towards small-caps, international exposure, or dividend-focused names like the Schwab U.S. Dividend ETF (SCHD) to help ride out volatility and protect capital.
