Crypto and stock markets fell from Nov. 5 to 6, 2026, amid a U.S. technology-sector sell-off, political uncertainty and expectations about Federal Reserve policy. Bitcoin briefly fell to $75,360 and Ethereum to $2,216; their daily losses were 6.4% and 8.4%, respectively, as of the report’s writing.
CoinGlass data showed daily crypto futures liquidations exceeded $1.2 billion, mostly in long positions. The report suggested forced closures may have amplified the decline. Technology shares were among the hardest hit, while the Democrats’ midterm election victory brought debate over potential, not enacted, AI restrictions to the forefront.
