The sudden macro shift sent risk-on assets into a waterfall sell-off, wiping out leveraged positions across crypto.
By the time U.S. markets closed, however, the picture changed dramatically. A strong earnings beat from Nvidia in its Q3 report triggered a recovery across equities — and Bitcoin rode that wave. BTC clawed back over the $90,000 threshold within hours, signaling that risk appetite isn’t fully dead despite mounting economic fears. Nvidia continues to function as the risk benchmark for global markets, and its bullish results offered a temporary relief valve for crypto.
