Stocks Decline Amid AI Valuation Concerns

Stocks retreated further on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 498.50 points, or 1.07%, to end at 46,091.74. The S&P 500 slid 0.83% to finish at 6,617.32, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite fell 1.21% to end at 22,432.85.

Chipmaker Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) shed nearly 3%, adding to the broader concerns around the sector on fears of an artificial intelligence bubble.

Investors are set to closely watch Nvidia's third-quarter earnings, due after Wednesday's closing bell, to see whether the company addresses some of the the concerns surrounding the AI sector.

Bitcoin Bears In ‘Full Control’

Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted that Bitcoin's Composite Index ratio — a market momentum indicator — has fallen to 0.72, a level not seen in nearly seven months.

"If the ratio falls below 0.75, short-term holders will take profits, and the price may correct to $87,500 — a support level dating back to March," CryptoQuant said.

On the other hand, if the ratio exceeds 1, it would signal "renewed momentum," potentially driving Bitcoin to the $150,000–175,000 range.

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Captain Faibik stated that Bitcoin bears are currently in "full control."

"I personally think Bitcoin will retest the $78,000–$80,000 area in the coming weeks," the analyst projected.
