Bitcoin slides under $71,000 as AI tech rout spills into crypto, stoking fresh selloff

Bitcoin slides under $71,000 as AI tech rout spills into crypto, stoking fresh selloff

Bitcoin slipped below $71,000 in Asian hours on Thursday as a renewed slide in global technology stocks bled into crypto markets, cutting short hopes that last week’s violent swings were settling down. The world’s largest token fell as much as 7.5% over the past 24 hours and touched lows near $70,700 before paring some losses, CoinDesk data showed. https://news.futunn.com/post/68459830/bitcoin-slips-below-71000-as-ai-driven-tech-rout The move matters now because crypto has been trading like a turbo-charged version of the equity risk trade again — falling when tech falls, and falling faster. After a week of whipsaws, some traders had been leaning on the idea that panic selling was largely done.

This tug-of-war unfolds amid a packed earnings week.

AI disruption fear drags Nasdaq lower as Alphabet, Amazon earnings loom

The S&P 500 fell 1.46% and the Nasdaq dropped 2.17%, with Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon sliding ahead of earnings from Alphabet on Wednesday and Amazon on Thursday. Art Hogan at B.

Stocks Slide as AI Disruption Jitters Hit Tech — Earnings Wave Looms

Stocks Slide as AI Disruption Jitters Hit Tech — Earnings Wave Looms

Wall Street dipped Tuesday, dragged down by software stocks rattled over worries that emerging AI tools could tighten margins and shift the competitive landscape. Investors also grappled with a flood of earnings reports from major U.S. firms. https://www.reuters.com/business/sp-nasdaq-futures-edge-up-earnings-deluge-takes-center-stage-2026-02-03/ The drop came after a quieter start before the bell, as futures—those contracts tracking indexes outside regular trading hours—edged up. Teradyne, the chip-testing gear maker, soared over 20% on a strong forecast. “It’s been a more orderly and calmer affair across markets,” said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone. https://www.kitco.com/news/off-the-wire/2026-02-03/sp-nasdaq-futures-edge-earnings-deluge-takes-center-stage

S&P 500, Nasdaq slip as software rout deepens; Palantir jumps and Walmart hits $1 trillion

S&P 500, Nasdaq slip as software rout deepens; Palantir jumps and Walmart hits $1 trillion

U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday as selling in software and cloud shares dragged the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq lower, wiping out some early optimism tied to Palantir’s quarterly report. The slide lands in the thick of earnings season, with investors trying to figure out whether big spending on AI — short for artificial intelligence — is turning into profits fast enough to justify valuations. Alphabet and Amazon are among the heavyweight reports due later this week.

Stock market today: Nasdaq falls on artificial intelligence fears as Palantir pops and Walmart hits $1 trillion

Wall Street stocks dipped Tuesday, with the Nasdaq taking the biggest hit despite a strong start to the session. The S&P 500 slid roughly 1.3%, while the Dow lost about 0.9% by early afternoon. The slide arrives as investors gear up for a busy week of results, with about a quarter of the S&P 500 set to report earnings. LSEG data now points to roughly 11% growth for the December quarter. Early trading showed firmer stock index futures, hinting at a potential rebound. Chris Weston at Pepperstone noted “growing signs that traders are ready to re-engage with pro-risk positions.” The shutdown has pushed back the January jobs report and the JOLTS job-openings data, crucial for gauging labor demand.

Asia stocks snap back as AI-linked shares rebound; RBA hike and India tariff deal steady nerves

Asia stocks snap back as AI-linked shares rebound; RBA hike and India tariff deal steady nerves

Asian stocks bounced back Tuesday following last week’s sell-off in precious metals. Japan’s Nikkei surged 4%, while South Korea’s KOSPI gained 5%. Gold rallied roughly 3% to $4,820 an ounce, and silver jumped 5%, shaking off Monday’s dips. The rebound follows a steep 5.6% dive in the KOSPI just a day earlier, which triggered a program-trading halt—a measure that stops some automated trades during sharp futures moves. Concerns over Kevin Warsh’s nomination to head the Federal Reserve added to the unease, compounded by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s remarks that a planned $100 billion investment in OpenAI was “never a commitment.”
