Why bitcoin plunged as Nvidia, Strategy and rate worries compound

Bitcoin fell to $71,100 on Nov. 13, its lowest in about 12 weeks, as selling pressure spread across the crypto market. CoinPost cited headwinds including a leadership change at Nvidia and Strategy’s removal from an MSCI index, which could force index-tracking funds to sell. Major altcoins also slid and liquidations exceeded $720 million. Hotter U.S. inflation revived expectations of a Fed rate hike in December, while spot bitcoin ETFs saw $595.98 million of net outflows over three sessions through Nov. 11.
