- CoreWeave Heads for Third Weekly Loss, Weighing on Stocks and Bitcoin Over AI Financing Fears
Bitcoin traded near $81,400 on Friday, little changed on the day after a 3.2% drop Thursday as weakness in equities over concerns about AI infrastructure financing weighed on the market. CoreWeave (CRWV) plunged 10% Thursday to a 52-week low of $53.50, is down roughly 37% in October and is heading for a third straight weekly loss; Bernstein cut its price target to $51 from $74 and Morgan Stanley to $70 from $99. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% Thursday to 26,009, its worst day since June, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said a “scarcity of capital” is hampering neocloud buildouts. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $635 million Thursday, the largest one-day withdrawal since late June. Crypto liquidations totaled $336 million over 24 hours, including $281 million in long positions.
- Bitcoin consolidates after 3% loss as AI fears stoke fresh stock-market weakness
Bitcoin fell 3.2% on Thursday to as low as $80,840 on Bitstamp, then ranged below $82,000 as Wall Street opened Friday amid AI financing worries. CoreWeave slid 15.5% week to date to its lowest level since May 2025, after Bernstein cut its price target from $74 to $51. Crypto markets saw $336 million in liquidations over 24 hours, including $281 million of long positions, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $635 million in net outflows on Thursday, the largest single-day drawdown since late June. South Korea's KOSPI opened at 5,402 points, dipped to 5,305, and finished 0.3% higher. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said demand for capital far exceeds its availability.
- Bitcoin corrects below $82K after Tesla Q3 results, KOSPI falls
Bitcoin reversed a rally toward $85,000 and fell nearly 3% on Thursday after failing to break a resistance trend line near $84,840, dropping back below $82,000. The move followed Tesla's Q3 results, where revenue of $28.05 billion narrowly missed the $28.13 billion estimate, while capital expenditure of $4.73 billion came in far below the projected $7.96 billion, reviving concerns about AI spending. Musk said spending would rise through 2028. South Korea's KOSPI closed down 3.52%, still struggling to recover from last week's low of 5,460 points. Onchain data showed open interest rising 4.5% to $55.95 billion before the reversal, which the article says raises the risk of sharper liquidations, and it flags the $80,000–$81,500 zone as key support.
- Bitcoin gives back its run at $85,000 as Tesla and Meta fail to calm AI nerves
Bitcoin briefly surged to nearly $85,000 late Wednesday, clearing its $84,000 ceiling, but reversed and traded just below $82,800 in Thursday's Asian morning, near the $82,500 support that some analysts warn could lead to a slide toward $70,000. Most major cryptocurrencies declined, with HYPE down 3% and Dogecoin down 2%, while Zcash gained nearly 3%. Disappointing corporate outlooks and doubts about AI spending weighed on U.S. stock futures and Asian markets: Tesla fell 3% after hours after cutting its capital-spending forecast, Lam Research dropped 7%, Nasdaq 100 futures lost 1.1%, and South Korea's Kospi fell 2.2%.
- Boom or Bust, Bitcoin Wins the AI Trade, Bitwise CIO Says
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues in an investor note that Bitcoin benefits across nearly every macro scenario, like the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books where different paths lead to the same ending. If AI delivers 'superabundance,' scarce assets such as Bitcoin should gain; if the AI bubble bursts, he puts the odds of a government bailout and money-printing at 'nearly 100%,' an environment he says Bitcoin 'was built for.' In a muddle-through scenario of about 3% growth and 4% rates, Bitcoin keeps growing through ETF flows and institutional adoption. Hougan acknowledges risks: Bitcoin fell 50% in days during the 2020 COVID panic before rebounding roughly 20-fold, and a government crackdown or quantum computing could break the thesis. The note comes as BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned that a halt to data center construction could tip the U.S. into recession.
- Bitcoin drops below $80,000 as crypto ignores Asian tech rally, Fed meeting begins
Bitcoin slipped to about $79,700, down 0.4% since midnight UTC, while ether fell 0.5%. Asian tech stocks rallied, with South Korea's Kospi up 3.1%, but crypto did not follow and the DeFi index dropped 1.8%. The Fed begins a two-day meeting with a rate decision due Wednesday, and CME's FedWatch tool shows around a 90% chance of no change. Across crypto futures, volume rose 18% to $152 billion over 24 hours, while U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $110 million on Monday.

Latest news
- Frozen housing market sends remodelers mixed messages
The Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies projects U.S. remodeling and repair spending to stay relatively flat through late 2027, with growth of just 1.5% year-over-year by the third quarter. High interest rates, high home prices and weak consumer sentiment have put housing in a deep freeze, although homeowners who cannot or do not want to sell tend to renovate instead. Rachel Bogardus Drew, director of the remodeling futures program, said annual spending could hover around $525 billion through the third quarter of next year. Housing starts for September, building permits and pending home sales all came in well below expectations, and Chris Herbert said these headwinds could slow remodeling growth further. Separate NAHB and Houzz surveys were more upbeat, with remodeler sentiment stable and construction pros' outlook at its highest since early 2022, but high material, labor and fuel costs remain pressures.
- Two bank stocks net bought heavily by securities firms' proprietary trading in the 27/10 session

VPB was the most-bought stock at 61 billion VND, followed by TCB (52 billion), MWG (51 billion) and HPG (33 billion). In the opposite direction, proprietary trading net sold most heavily in VGC at 18 billion VND, followed by GMD (16 billion), while VCB and KDH each recorded 9 billion VND.
- Azure and Copilot Reacceleration Reinforce Microsoft’s (MSFT) AI Leadership
Renaissance Investment Management's Q3 2026 investor letter for its Large Cap Growth Strategy named Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) the largest contributor to performance in the quarter. The stock rose after the company reported better-than-expected operating results, which the fund said showed Azure and Copilot growth reaccelerating. The letter also said Microsoft is managing cash flow better than other hyperscalers and has reduced capex for the rest of 2026. On October 26, 2026, the stock closed at $532.60 with a market cap of $3.96 trillion, up 4.64% over one month but down 1.75% over 52 weeks. Microsoft ranked second on a list of 40 most popular hedge fund stocks, held by 273 hedge fund portfolios at the end of Q2 versus 282 the prior quarter.
- Bitcoin price analysis sees ‘strong rally’ as old coins become dormant
CryptoQuant data shows the share of Bitcoin's realized cap held by coins unmoved for 18 months or longer slipped from 26.98% on Sept. 16, its highest since mid-November 2024, to 26.59%. CryptoQuant says a similar pattern has preceded past Bitcoin bull markets and sees the market in the early stages of a new cycle. Long-term holders have reduced onchain spending, and coins unmoved for five years or more have averaged about 34,000 BTC a month in 2026, half the 2024 level. Galaxy Digital described the current bear market as the shallowest on record, with a maximum drawdown of -53% from all-time highs. The 18-month-to-two-year cohort is now in net loss, with a cost basis of $93,193.
- What Few Investors Realize About QQQ's Dividend
Over the past five years, QQQ's dividend has grown about 75.0%, roughly in line with the fund's 87.4% share price gain. The latest four quarterly distributions totaled $3.09182 per share, and the most recent payout of $0.75143 was up 8.3% from a year earlier. At the October 26 close of $712.20, trailing distributions equal a yield of about 0.43%, or roughly $43 a year on a $10,000 position. Distributions are taxable even when reinvested, and the article notes the fund is better suited to investors focused on growth than to those who need meaningful current income. The next ex-dividend date is set for December 21, 2026, payable January 11, 2027, though the per-share amount has not been declared.
- Only 5 of 60 Analysts Still Say Sell Tesla, the Fewest in 11 Years
A widely followed survey shows only 5 of 60 analysts rate Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) a sell, the lowest share in more than 11 years, down from 15 of 71 in January. The stock closed at $391.62 on October 26, 2026, up 5.21%. Some analysts have shifted views on the possibility that SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) could acquire Tesla: BNP Paribas moved from sell to neutral with a $420 target, while Barclays upgraded to Overweight with a $450 target and called the anticipated merger a key part of the bull case. However, no deal has been agreed, and GAAP net income fell 43% to $787 million. The article argues that the risks outweigh the merger case.
