Bitcoin slips under $76k as AI/tech equity dump spills into crypto

Bitcoin erased Wednesday’s post-midterm rebound and traded below $76,000 on Thursday while U.S. tech and AI-linked equities posted their worst session since the April 2025 tariff shock, per CoinDesk’s live desk. Ether and Solana sold with beta; CoinGecko spot around the U.S. close had BTC near $76,080 (−5.7% 24h), ETH near $2,239 (−7.7%), and SOL near $89.83 (−6.1%). Gold caught a relative bid while crypto tracked risk assets, not the safe-haven script CT keeps hoping for.

Why it mattersThe midterm relief bounce lasted one session — CT’s risk-on narrative is colliding with equity beta again.
