Global markets slump as S&P 500, NASDAQ, Bitcoin see sharp declines

In a notable downturn for global markets, the S&P 500 fell by 4.4% while the Nasdaq dropped 5.5%, marking a rare 4σ day. Bitcoin also experienced a substantial drop, declining by about 5% and near $76,000. Strategy’s STRC perpetual preferred stock closed at $99.56, just below its $100 par value, indicating relative stability amid the broader selloff. The sharp declines across these assets suggest a significant shift in market sentiment. Watch how Bitcoin’s proximity to the $76,000 level plays out, as further declines could affect sentiment.
