Even the Nvidia market rally couldn't save Bitcoin's price: BTC sinks to new low today. What's up with this crypto crash?

"A Bitcoin ( BTC) sell-off on Thursday is sending the cryptocurrency down again today by 3% to $86,410.50 in midday afternoon trading, after a rally had it above $93,000 earlier in the day. It's now hit its lowest level since April. It's part of an overall decline in the crypto market that also saw closely watched digital asset XRP ( XRP-USD) falling below $2.00 per token during the day, while Ethereum ( ETH-USD) shed nearly 3% and was trading at $2,832 in the late afternoon at the time of this writing."

"Investors were briefly riding high on chip maker Nvidia's third-quarter earnings report, which came in after Wednesday's market close and beat the street's expectations. Revenue came in at $57.01 billion, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) at $1.30, both well above Wall Street analyst estimates. But as the day progressed, Nvidia ( Nasdaq: NVDA) found its own stock falling down over 2% as investors remain spooked at the prospect of an AI bubble."

"Some experts, including Wall Street oracle Michael Burry, head of hedge fund Scion Asset Management, predict the bubble resulting from inflated valuations and inflated earnings. Burry, who both predicted and then shorted the 2008 housing bubble, has suggested that massive spending by tech companies like Meta, Nvidia, and OpenAI, which are pouring record-amounts of money into artificial intelligence (AI) while also laying off scores of employees, are overstating their profits by artificially boosting earnings through aggressive accounting practices."

Bitcoin experienced a sell-off that dropped its price about 3% to $86,410.50 during midday trading after an earlier rally above $93,000, marking its lowest level since April. The broader crypto market declined, with XRP sliding below $2.00 and Ethereum falling nearly 3% to trade around $2,832 in the late afternoon. Nvidia reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter results — $57.01 billion in revenue and $1.30 adjusted EPS — yet its stock later fell more than 2% amid fears of an AI-driven valuation bubble. Michael Burry warned that massive AI spending and aggressive accounting could be artificially inflating profits.
