Bitcoin News Update: Bitcoin's Sharp Decline Impacts Tech Stocks as Nasdaq Reflects $1.8 Trillion in Speculative Assets
- Bitcoin drops to $89,259, its lowest since April 2025, as traders brace for Fed rate-cut delays and market volatility. - Nasdaq-100 mirrors crypto slump, down 4% this month, highlighting growing equity-crypto correlation and correction fears. - Analysts warn of fragile investor sentiment, with leveraged crypto proxies like MicroStrategy losing 27% in November alone. - Global markets join decline, as S&P 500 and FTSE 100 hit key technical levels, intensifying scrutiny on Bitcoin's risk-indicator role.

At the same time, stock markets worldwide have also experienced declines. The FTSE 100 suffered its steepest fall since April, and the S&P 500 ended below its 50-day moving average for the first time in several months.
