Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a notable decline, falling below $75,000 and diverging from the booming stock market, particularly the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index, which reached an all-time high. This drop follows a rejection at $78,000 and is compounded by weak trader sentiment due to stalled pro-crypto legislation in the U.S. Publicly listed miners, such as TeraWulf, are pivoting towards AI infrastructure, which has led to BTC reserve sales, further impacting demand. The Digital Asset PARITY Act, aimed at reforming cryptocurrency taxation, remains pending without scheduled hearings, contributing to uncertainty among investors. Additionally, the Trump Media & Technology Group's recent transfer of 2,650 BTC has added to the negative sentiment. Overall, Bitcoin's struggles are set against a backdrop of strong performance in AI-related stocks and a cautious stance from the U.S. Federal Reserve regarding monetary policy.
