Bitcoin faces second red October as Nasdaq drops 2.9%

Bitcoin slid toward $77,000 heading into October's final session, touching $77,646 on Oct. 30 as a selloff in U.S. tech stocks and gold deepened losses. The move puts Bitcoin on track for its second red October, a month traders typically expect to be positive. The drop matters because it shows crypto remains correlated to risk assets like Nasdaq, which fell 2.9%, pressuring sentiment into month-end.
