Bitcoin fell below $81,500 amid a tech stock sell-off spreading to Asian equities, driven by AI spending concerns and geopolitical tensions.

Bitcoin fell below $81,500 as a selloff in technology stocks rippled across Asian markets on Friday morning. Investor sentiment was pressured by mounting concerns over artificial intelligence spending levels and widening geopolitical tensions.
The price decline occurred within a broader equity market pullback that began on Wall Street and extended to Asia. The move underscores how crypto assets, particularly Bitcoin, remain correlated with traditional risk-on sentiment during periods of macroeconomic concern.
Concurrent analysis indicates Bitcoin profitability metrics have declined to 2022 lows despite current price levels hovering above $82K, with newly accumulated large positions showing thin profit margins. Whether the selling pressure will stabilize at current levels or extend further remains unclear.
