Bitcoin's price has plunged below $66,000, hitting a low of $65,708, which represents a 6.4% decrease in just 24 hours and a staggering 12.3% drop over the week. Ether has also faced losses, falling to $1,839, down 11.1% weekly. This downturn occurs despite global stock markets achieving record highs, particularly driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). The sell-off in cryptocurrencies is linked to several negative developments, including MicroStrategy's first disclosed bitcoin sale and significant outflows from spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), totaling over $3.2 billion. The MSCI All Country World Index has reached a new peak, reflecting the ongoing strength in AI-related stocks, especially in the semiconductor industry. Traders are closely monitoring bitcoin's $65,000 support level, with a potential drop below this threshold raising concerns of further declines to $60,000, while a hold could lead to a short-term rebound.
