Bitcoin Falls on Tech Turmoil, ETF Outflows

Stocks wobble, crypto follows

Bitcoin slid alongside a broader risk-off move after renewed anxiety around big tech. Concerns over leadership turmoil at Nvidia pulled US equities and other digital tokens lower. Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang was ousted after reports of two affairs, including one involving a woman suspected of spying for China - a headline that cooled enthusiasm around the artificial intelligence trade.

Rates bite and futures tilt negative

Bitcoin's rebound from its 2026 trough below $58,000 in July has lost steam. It hit an almost three-month low on Wednesday after US inflation came in hot, lifting expectations for more interest-rate hikes. "Bitcoin is showing signs of a changing market structure, with selling pressure concentrated in derivatives while spot market activity remains comparatively resilient," said Dean Chen of Bitunix.

Futures cumulative volume delta - a gauge of whether buying or selling is taking the upper hand in futures over time - has swung sharply negative, and open interest has slipped. "Taken together, these indicators suggest that leveraged exposure is cooling, but market positioning remains mixed," Chen added.
