  • Bitcoin Hits 15-Month Low as Crypto and Stock Markets Slide Amid U.S. Shutdown
    February 3, 2026, 3:02 PM EST. Bitcoin plunged to a 15-month low of $73,111, extending its weekly slide beyond 15%, amid broad declines in both crypto and traditional markets. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell 1.41% and 2.22%, dragged down by tech stocks including PayPal, which dropped over 19% post-earnings. Crypto peers Ethereum and Solana suffered sharper losses of 9.6% and 7.1%, falling below last year's lows. Bitcoin led with nearly $234 million in long liquidations over 24 hours, totaling $659 million liquidated in crypto. Analysts warn of further downside, with Bitcoin possibly retesting its 200-week moving average near $58,000 amid structural weaknesses and lack of catalysts. Contrastingly, gold surged to record highs above $5,600 an ounce, challenging Bitcoin's narrative as a digital safe-haven amid ongoing U.S. government shutdown risks.
