Overview
A broad risk-off move in crypto coincided with weakness in tech stocks, pushing Bitcoin below the $72,000 level and pulling down crypto-linked equities. Strategy (MSTR) drew particular attention as its shares slid alongside BTC ahead of its Q4 earnings, while Bullish reported a Q4 loss and saw its shares whipsaw after results amid growth in bitcoin options trading.
