> The technology-heavy index has slipped below its 100-day moving average as chip and AI shares face selling pressure.

The Nasdaq 100 has fallen 10% from its October high, entering correction territory and giving US crypto traders a fresh signal to watch as sentiment shifts across technology and related markets.

The technology-heavy index includes major semiconductor and artificial-intelligence companies, two groups facing particular selling pressure. Concern about Alphabet's performance has coincided with broader market volatility.

The index has also dropped below its 100-day moving average, adding to signs of weakness after the October peak. The decline puts attention on whether chip and AI shares can stabilize.

For crypto traders, the move offers a gauge of sentiment around a major US technology benchmark. Bitcoin market pricing has also shifted toward lower odds of clearing key price thresholds by Nov. 3.

Investors will watch for further developments in technology-sector performance, especially in semiconductor and AI shares. Federal Reserve communications and economic data releases may also shape broader sentiment. That keeps cross-market sentiment in focus as the correction unfolds.
