Why it is moving
Weighs. Tech selloff triggered over $1 billion in liquidations.
Tech selloff spills into crypto
Bitcoin fell below $77,000 to a seven-week low as the Nasdaq slid into a correction. Crypto liquidations topped $1 billion and wiped out gains made after the election.

Which way it leans, and how far it could go
Tech selloff triggered over $1 billion in liquidations. Trend: below its 50-day average and down 7.9% in a month.
A typical day: ±2.3% (±$1,724.09)
We keep score: every day each lean is checked a day later, and how often they were right will show here once 20 have been checked.
| Over the | Likely range | Wider range |
|---|---|---|
| Next hour | $75,287 – $75,991 ±0.5% | $74,952 – $76,331 |
| Next day | $73,934 – $77,382 ±2.3% | $72,334 – $79,094 |
| Next week | $71,212 – $80,340 ±6.0% | $67,206 – $85,128 |
| Next month | $66,761 – $85,695 ±12.5% | $59,221 – $96,606 |
Where it should end the period two times in three (likely) and nineteen times in twenty (wider), if the coming days swing as much as the recent ones: a volatility forecast from its past year, weighted to the last weeks. Our lean puts together how today’s news bears on it and its trend; it can be wrong, and markets can move more. Not investment advice.
