Bitcoin fell below $70,000 as the crypto selloff deepened before the start of equities trading in the U.S.
The largest cryptocurrency dropped to as low as $69.917.20 according to CoinDesk data, with sentiment sliding further into “extreme fear.” The Fear and Greed Index sits at 11, a level reached only a handful of times in the past
The selloff remains largely contained within digital assets and metals, as broader U.S. equity markets show resilience.
Gold fell more than 1%, slipping below $4,900 per ounce, and silver dropped over 10%, falling to under $80 per ounce.
