The key question is whether this is a correction in valuations or the start of a deeper reassessment of AI's growth potential.
If earnings keep catching up with expectations while yields ease, the setup for a recovery makes sense.
And if tech leads a broader return to risk, crypto could benefit from the same shift in sentiment.
But the fundamentals need to justify the valuations.
Bitcoin is back around $81.5K after getting rejected near $85K.
This level has held up as support several times, but we need to see buyers step in again.
Reclaim $83.5K and we could see another move towards $85K.
Lose $81.5K and $79.5K is the next major level to watch.
BTC is at a decision point here.

After pulling in over $1B across three consecutive days, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a sharp reversal on Thursday.
BlackRock's IBIT led outflows with $254.1M, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $217.5M.

The irony is that the more we rely on centralised systems, the more disruptive it becomes when access to them is restricted.
If AI-driven security threats force banks and major platforms to lock things down, it could reignite the debate around financial sovereignty.
That would be a powerful argument for crypto, but only if the industry can prove it offers a genuinely safer alternative.

BREAKING: Chinese equities are facing a sharp selloff, with around ยฅ1.4 trillion in market value wiped out as the Shanghai Composite hits its lowest level in a year.
Concerns over AI valuations, weakening expectations for fresh stimulus and rising oil prices are adding to the pressure on markets.
If this weakness spreads across global markets, risk assets including Bitcoin could come under further pressure.
Your crypto exchange account comes with borders.
MEXC is ending service for users in Russia and Belarus. Affected accounts get individual instructions to close positions and withdraw.
@cz_binance CZ makes a great point. AI is a threat to far more than just crypto, and people need to understand the bigger picture.

The UK is taking another step towards DeFi regulation.
The FCA is consulting on guidance covering financial crime and operational resilience for firms operating in decentralised finance.
The regulator says this is about clarifying existing rules, not creating an entirely new framework.
For crypto businesses, clearer boundaries could make the UK a more attractive place to build. But regulation must be proportionate enough to protect users without stifling innovation.
Consultation closes November 18, with final guidance planned for January 2027.
Ethereum developers want to cut transaction finality from around 16 minutes to just 4 minutes.
That's a big improvement.
It means money sent through Ethereum could be confirmed much faster, allowing payment companies to move money around without having to wait as long.
Faster payments, less money tied up waiting.
This is the kind of upgrade Ethereum needs if it wants to compete with traditional payment systems.
It's still a proposal for now, but it's a step in the right direction.
Around $770 BILLION wiped off the US stock market as fears over a US-Iran escalation hit markets.
This is exactly why we're watching oil prices so closely.
If oil keeps climbing, inflation could heat up again and rate cuts could be pushed further away.
That's a difficult environment for risk assets, including Bitcoin.
We wouldn't rush to buy the dip just yet. If selling continues, we want to see where real buyers step in before calling a bottom.
There may be opportunities if the market overreacts, but protecting capital comes first.
Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded three consecutive days of net inflows, attracting a combined $1.07B.
Yesterday alone brought in $524.8M, led by BlackRock's IBIT ($235M) and Fidelity's FBTC ($212.7M).
Despite Bitcoin's recent price weakness, institutional demand through ETFs remains strong.
The key question is whether these inflows can continue and help absorb selling pressure in the market.
