Bitcoin fell 3% to $100,776 as tech stock sell-offs and market volatility increase, impacting cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrencies experienced a significant decline at the start of the last week of January.

This downturn follows a previous record peak and is largely influenced by a sell-off in technology stocks linked to the Chinese startup DeepSeek.

Bitcoin’s price fell by 3% to $100,776.81, with earlier lows of $97,750. The CoinDesk 20 index, which tracks a broader range of cryptocurrencies, dropped by 7%.

The Nasdaq also suffered, declining more than 3%, leading to falls in shares of major crypto firms. Coinbase and MicroStrategy saw declines of about 6% and 4%, respectively, while Bitcoin mining companies faced heavier losses. Core Scientific shares fell by 28%, Terawulf by 25%, and Iren by 22%.

Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered noted that the relationship between digital assets and the tech sector is strong, pointing to the correlation between Bitcoin and Nasdaq performance.

In the last 24 hours, over $250 million in long liquidations in Bitcoin occurred, as traders using leverage were forced to sell their assets to cover losses. This was exacerbated by mixed reactions to an executive order on crypto from President Trump.

Investors are also cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, hoping for a more accommodative stance but fearing a lack of dovish policies.

Despite the recent volatility, some analysts suggest there is nothing fundamentally bearish about Bitcoin’s current price action.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
