Bitcoin Holds Near $75,000 as Ether Falls Nearly 5% and XRP Drops Nearly 12% Weekly

Bitcoin (BTC) traded near $75,000 on Nov. 9, down about 1% in 24 hours, while Ether and XRP posted steeper losses, underscoring a split among major tokens.

At 12:43 p.m. ET (17:43 UTC), Bitcoin was around $75,000. Ether (ETH), the native token of the Ethereum network, had fallen nearly 5% over the same 24-hour period. XRP recorded similar daily losses and was down nearly 12% over the week.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell more than 5% last week amid concerns about a broader selloff in artificial intelligence stocks. Bitcoin’s Nov. 9 reading followed its Nov. 6 test of the $75,000 area during steep U.S. stock losses.

Ish Asad, a crypto research analyst at Bitwise, argued that an earlier shift of investment from crypto to AI had left fewer holders ready to sell Bitcoin, cushioning its response to recent turmoil.

John LaForge, chief alternatives strategist at Ned Davis Research, called Bitcoin’s relative resilience a mild positive. “It could have gotten hit a lot harder,” he said.

Bitcoin’s June decline below $60,000 marked its 2026 low as elevated interest rates and sizable ETF outflows weighed on the market.
