Bitcoin slips below $80K as Nasdaq rallies on Anthropic IPO hopes
- —Nasdaq +1.01%, S&P 500 +0.75% on Anthropic IPO optimism
- —BTC -0.98% to $79,699; ETH -1.48% to $2,308; XRP -0.82% to $1.28
- —About $150M in longs liquidated during a two-hour drop to $79,145
- —Futures price ~90% odds the Fed holds rates at 3.75–4%
Why it matters: Whether BTC reclaims $80K on a weekly close will shape the risk of further downside ahead of the Fed decision.
