- Already sitting on overnight losses, bitcoin's decline accelerated in U.S. morning trade, with the price falling back to $85,200, a new low for 2026.
- The quick selloff came amid a reversal in gold’s breathtaking rally, which had sent the yellow metal soaring above $5,600 at one point Thursday before quickly falling back to $5,200.
- The Nasdaq was also sharply lower, falling 1.5%, as Microsoft declined more than 11% following its fourth-quarter earnings report.
Bitcoin BTC$88,336.23 tumbled Thursday to its weakest level since mid-December, shedding nearly $3,000 within hours as gold's massive rally abruptly turned.

The price action in silver followed a similar path, with that metal falling from $121 per ounce to $108.
Adding fuel to the selloff was Microsoft (MSFT), whose shares collapsed more than 11% — potentially their worst day since March 2020 — after the company reported slowing growth in its cloud business. The tech giant’s stumble dragged the Nasdaq lower by around 1.5%, deepening the risk-off tone.
Crypto markets followed suit. Trading above $88,000 earlier in the session, bitcoin fell precipitously to $85,200, its lowest level in more than a month. The largest crypto was down 4.5% over the past 24 hours.
Ethereum's ether ETH$2,961.90, Solana SOL$123.64, DOGE$0.1222 and ADA$0.3510 lost 5%-6% during the same period as altcoins were hit harder in the sell-off.
Looking at crypto stocks, the largest corporate bitcoin holder Strategy (MSTR) is down 8%, its worst day since Dec. 12, hitting 52-week lows and trading back at September 2024 levels.
Other names posting big losses include Bullish (BLSH), Twenty One Capital (XXI). Circle (CRCL) and Coinbase (COIN) — all down 4%-8%.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture
Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Gold in 'extreme greed' sentiment as it adds entire bitcoin market cap in one day
Bullion ripped past $5,500 and sentiment gauges hit “extreme greed,” while bitcoin stayed pinned below $90K — a split that’s getting harder to ignore.
What to know:
- Gold’s surge above $5,500 an ounce has taken on the feel of a crowded trade, with its notional value jumping about $1.6 trillion in a single day.
- Sentiment gauges such as JM Bullion’s Gold Fear & Greed Index are signaling extreme bullishness in precious metals, even as similar crypto indicators remain stuck in fear.
- Bitcoin is lagging despite the “hard assets” narrative, trading like a high-beta risk asset while investors seeking a store of value are favoring physical gold and silver over digital tokens.
