The price of Bitcoin fell to a two-month low on Thursday, wavering alongside equities and precious metals as Microsoft’s post-earnings tumble deepened.
The leading digital asset by market cap recently changed hands around $84,400, a 5% decrease over the past day, according to CoinGecko. Altcoins including Ethereum and Solana notched steeper declines, falling 6.4% and 6.8% to $2,800 and $117, respectively.
Crypto liquidations surged, with more than $800 million worth of leveraged positions forcibly closed over the past day, according to CoinGlass. Nearly $700 million worth of losses stacked up for long positions. And a $31 million position was wiped out on Hyperliquid.
Following its blistering past $5,600 per ounce on Wednesday, the price of gold decreased 0.6% to $5,300. Silver meanwhile dropped 0.8% to $112 per ounce.
Microsoft shares fell more than 12% to recently change hands around $422, according to Yahoo Finance. Although the tech behemoth’s second-quarter earnings results surpassed Wall Street expectations, a slowdown in cloud sales growth and CapEx spending sparked investor jitters.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite plunged more than 2%, erasing much of its year-to-date gains. The index hit a record high earlier this week alongside the S&P 500, which fell 1.1%.
