Risk-Off Mood Hits Both Stocks and Crypto<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Major U.S. stock market indexes closed lower on February 5, as investors reacted to rising geopolitical tensions and renewed weakness in technology shares.<\/p>\n

The risk-off sentiment spilled over into digital assets, with winter-like conditions settling into the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin fell below the $70,000 level for the first time since October 2024<\/strong>, extending the broader crypto sell-off.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Drops Sharply in Early Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)<\/strong>, the price of bitcoin slid by $4,910<\/strong>, or 6.67%<\/strong>, to $68,536<\/strong> as of 10:08 a.m. ET<\/strong> on February 5.<\/p>\n

The steep decline highlighted growing pressure on risk assets as traders reduced exposure amid uncertain macroeconomic conditions.<\/p>\n

Flagship Cryptocurrency Under Heavy Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bitcoin remains the dominant digital asset, accounting for around 60% of the total cryptocurrency market<\/strong>. However, its leadership has not shielded it from the recent downturn.<\/p>\n

Since reaching an all-time high of $127,240 in October 2025<\/strong>, bitcoin has fallen by approximately 45%<\/strong>, marking one of its sharpest corrections in recent years.<\/p>\n

Year-to-Date Losses Continue to Mount<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The losses have also accelerated in 2026. Bitcoin is down more than 20% year to date<\/strong>, reflecting sustained selling pressure across the crypto space.<\/p>\n

With broader financial markets under stress and investor appetite for risk assets fading, cryptocurrencies continue to struggle to regain momentum.<\/p>\n

Outlook Remains Uncertain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As long as geopolitical risks persist and global equities remain volatile, bitcoin may face difficulty finding near-term support.<\/p>\n

Traders are now watching macroeconomic signals and market sentiment closely, looking for signs that the crypto sell-off may be nearing exhaustion\u2014or could deepen further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
