Bitcoin's price has dropped to approximately $62,715, reflecting a 1.9% decline for the day and a staggering 14.5% drop over the week. This downturn is part of a broader sell-off in the cryptocurrency market, influenced by a faltering artificial intelligence trade and disappointing earnings from semiconductor giant Broadcom. Other major cryptocurrencies, such as Ether and Solana, have also suffered significant losses, with Ether down 4.8% to $1,696 and Solana falling 5.4% to $66.51. The sell-off is exacerbated by persistent outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have seen net outflows of approximately $4.4 billion over the past 13 sessions. The market is now looking ahead to the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, which could provide insights into Federal Reserve policy and potentially influence the recovery of both the AI trade and the cryptocurrency market. Until then, the prevailing trend appears to be downward.
