Crypto Bloodbath: Bitcoin and Ethereum Drop Sharply Amid Market Sell-Off

Crypto Bloodbath: Bitcoin and Ethereum Drop Sharply Amid Market Sell-Off

The global crypto market has dropped sharply to $3.5 trillion from $4.28 trillion, marking a 19% fall in just a few days. Despite the steep correction, analysts say November could bring a potential turnaround. Historically, Bitcoin performs well this month, showing an average return of over 40%.

Right now, the market is reacting to increased whale activity. Billions of dollars in Bitcoin are being moved from cold wallets to exchanges, a move often seen before large sell-offs. This sudden shift in supply has fueled fear across the market, while low trading activity in Asian sessions has amplified the volatility.

The Federal Reserve’s latest comments have also added to the sell-off. While it announced its second rate cut and plans to end quantitative tightening in December, Chair Jerome Powell warned that inflation remains a concern. His statement pushed the U.S. dollar index back to 100 points, putting fresh pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bitcoin is currently testing key support near $106,600. If this level breaks, the next target could be between $98,000 and $100,000. This range could become a strong buying zone with the potential for a rebound if the market stabilizes.

The Bitcoin dominance chart shows capital moving out of altcoins and into Bitcoin. While short-term weakness remains, technical indicators like RSI and Bollinger Bands hint that a larger move could follow this compression phase.

Ethereum has fallen faster than Bitcoin during this correction. The price could still see another 20% to 25% decline, possibly reaching the $2,750 region. A total 44% correction from its recent high would still keep Ethereum within a long-term bullish trend, analysts say.

The current setup might test investors’ patience, but it also opens the door for better entry points once selling pressure eases.

While most altcoins are under pressure, some are holding stronger than others. Binance Coin (BNB) has shown consistent resilience through market volatility. Even a pullback to its golden pocket at around $850 would mark only a mild 12% drop.

Solana (SOL) has already completed much of its downward move, trading near its support range between $150 and $165. 

If global liquidity stabilizes and the dollar cools off, analysts expect capital to flow back into Bitcoin first and later into selective altcoins.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.

The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%

For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
