US stock futures edged lower Wednesday morning as investors awaited earnings from Nvidia. The tech giant’s report could determine the next direction for AI-related stocks.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped about 0.1%. S&P 500 futures fell 0.2% while Nasdaq 100 futures declined around 0.3%.

The moves followed the fourth consecutive decline for both the Dow and S&P 500. The Nasdaq Composite fell for the fifth time in six sessions.

Bitcoin briefly dipped below $90,000 before recovering to trade around $90,400. The cryptocurrency showed a modest gain of 0.2% over the past 24 hours.

Ethereum held steady near $3,027. Other major cryptocurrencies including Solana and XRP traded near key support levels.

Crypto Market Shows Signs of Stability

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at approximately $3.16 trillion. This represents a daily increase of 1.37%.

Bitcoin’s market dominance dropped to roughly 57%. Some capital rotated into select altcoins during the session.

The crypto sector has experienced severe pressure over recent weeks. Approximately $1.2 trillion in market value disappeared over the past six weeks.

More than $20 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated since early November. These forced closures added downward pressure on prices across the market.

The US government shutdown and monetary tightening reduced liquidity in crypto markets. These macroeconomic factors contributed to declining risk appetite among investors.

ETF Inflows Provide Support

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $150 million in inflows during recent trading. Ethereum ETFs added $90 million in new capital.

These inflows helped slow the earlier selloff. The funds provided some stability to the broader market.

Analysts view the next few trading sessions as critical for market direction. Key support levels must hold for further stabilization to occur.

Nvidia’s earnings report carries weight beyond tech stocks. Analysts predict the stock could move up to 7% in either direction after results.

Based on current market value, this translates to a potential $320 billion swing. Recent profit-taking across mega-cap technology stocks suggests investors question current valuations.

Target, Lowe’s, and TJX Companies report earnings before Wednesday’s opening bell. These results will offer insight into consumer spending patterns heading into the holiday season.

Thursday brings the delayed September jobs report. This data will help shape expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next policy decisions.

Traders remain divided on whether the central bank will cut rates next month. The crypto market total trading volume increased, indicating a tentative return of liquidity to the space.
