Bitcoin plunged 6.4% to $65,708 and ETH broke below $1,900 in Asian trading Wednesday, diverging sharply from MSCI ACWI hitting fresh all-time highs on AI optimism. The rotation signal — equities ripping while crypto dumps — suggests risk appetite is channeling into AI/tech rather than digital assets, a bearish near-term setup for BTC and ETH.
