Bitcoin extended its slide to $68,228, down 3.82% in 24 hours, as the selling that broke $69,000 earlier carried into the late session. CoinDesk reports that analysts see capital heading into Anthropic's IPO and a broader risk-off move as the main pressure, not the Nvidia leadership turmoil itself.
Sentiment has cracked further. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 13 from 20, deep in extreme fear.
Bitcoin
According to CoinGecko data as of 01:26 UTC on 14 November, Bitcoin traded at $68,228. It is down 3.82% over 24 hours and 9.89% over seven days. The 24-hour range ran from $70,894 to $67,831, so the price sits close to the low of the day. Volume was $42.5 billion.
CoinDesk notes that Bitcoin is heading for a sixth straight weekly loss and is down 21% this year. Decrypt writes that the drop has undone most of the summer rally, citing persistent inflation, expectations of another rate hike and ETF withdrawals. Chart: BTC/USD on TradingView.
