On November 7th, the Nasdaq fell 2%, with Tesla, Intel, NVIDIA declining, coinciding with Bitcoin dropping under $101,000, resulting in significant market liquidations and trading activity.
This market shift highlights the interplay between stocks and cryptocurrencies, impacting investor sentiment and contributing to increased volatility.
Large-scale sell-offs were notable, with long-term Bitcoin holders offloading approximately 405,000 BTC, equating to over $42 billion as the Nasdaq’s decline mirrored similar trends in cryptocurrency markets. Major companies saw stock drops: Tesla (5.78%), Intel (3.95%), and Nvidia (3.43%), aligning with a cryptocurrency slide.
The cryptocurrency markets experienced notable volatility. Bitcoin’s fall below $101,000 represented its lowest in six months, marking multiple support failures. Likewise, Ethereum and other stablecoins reacted to intensified selling, which was partly attributed to institutional actors and whale traders liquidating positions.
Raoul Pal, CEO, Real Vision, said, “The recent struggles in both the Nasdaq and crypto sectors are a reminder of the ongoing volatility that impacts digital assets critically.”
Did you know? The recent sell-offs by long-term Bitcoin holders, comprising nearly 2% of total supply, echo historical events where similar actions led to substantial price corrections in the crypto market.

Notably, trading volume decreased by over 22%, highlighting reduced market activity, per CoinMarketCap.
