Crypto correction vaporized $176B in investor funds: Are bears back in control?

Bitcoin and altcoin prices crumbled as BTC lost the $70,000 level. Will investors’ pivot to AI stocks continue to weigh on crypto markets?
Key takeaways:
Bitcoin (BTC) faced a sharp 9% drop over 48 hours, hitting the $67,000 support for the first time in two months. This correction wiped out a substantial $176 billion from the total crypto market cap in just two days, triggering $1.5 billion in forced liquidations for overleveraged long positions.
Traders remain uncertain about the drivers behind crypto's underperformance, especially since US equities have shown notable strength.
