🔥 US stocks and crypto plunge across the board, trapping long positions! Crisis or long-term opportunity? Trader breaks down three key reasons behind the sell-off
Trading watchlist: $BTC $ETH $NVDA $GOOGL $ANTHROPIC
On November 5, US stocks and crypto markets suffered a sharp sell-off. The Nasdaq fell 5.52%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 12.3%, and NVDA fell about 9%, while semiconductor stocks such as MU and AMD fell even more. BTC dropped below $76,000, while ETH, HYPE and others also pulled back sharply.
I don't hide my live trades: my long positions in HYPE, GOOGL, ANTHROPIC and others are currently showing unrealized losses too.
But I believe this downturn does not mean the long-term case for AI and crypto assets is over. Some high-quality assets may actually be presenting long-term spot opportunities worth watching.
I. Three reasons behind this sharp sell-off
1️⃣ US midterm elections shift expectations for AI investment
The Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, raising concerns that future data center construction, energy supply and AI infrastructure investment could face stricter regulation.
But this is only the trigger. The deeper question is whether massive AI capital expenditures can translate into sustained revenue and profits. When the market starts questioning returns on investment, valuations may be repriced.
2️⃣ The AI industry shifts from storytelling to proving profitability
In the past, the market was willing to pay high valuations for AI growth, but institutions are now paying closer attention to orders, revenue, profits and cash flow.
Chip demand may remain strong over the long term, but data center construction requires massive funding. Financing costs, energy supply, construction approvals and the investment payback period could all affect the pace of industry expansion.
AI hasn't disappeared; the market is simply starting to demand that companies demonstrate real profitability.
3️⃣ US stock declines combine with leveraged liquidations in crypto markets
A plunge in US tech stocks quickly dampened risk appetite. CoinDesk, citing CoinGlass data, said that more than $1 billion in leveraged positions in crypto markets were liquidated over the past 24 hours, with longs accounting for the vast majority.
But crypto markets were already under pressure from ETF outflows, shrinking stablecoin supply and other factors. The US stock decline acted as a catalyst, while leveraged liquidations amplified the losses.
II. Why is the trader starting to look for long-term spot opportunities?
My logic is simple: short-term price declines don't mean long-term business value has disappeared.
For NVDA, I’m watching AI chip demand and orders; for GOOGL, its cloud business and AI monetization; for BTC and ETH, capital flows and ecosystem development; and for HYPE, platform revenue and token value capture.
Of course, a steep decline doesn't mean an asset is undervalued. For assets like ANTHROPIC, whose valuations are still being debated, it's especially important to watch financing, computing costs and whether future revenue materializes.
III. What will the trader do next?
I handle spot investing and futures trading separately:
• Spot: Build positions in high-quality assets I’m bullish on over the long term in batches, extend the accumulation period, and avoid going all-in at once.
• Futures: Don't blindly add to a position just because it's underwater, and never hold a position indefinitely. Wait for signs of a bottom, a breakout and a confirmed retest before looking for opportunities on the right side of the move.
• Risk management: If fundamentals change or the price structure continues to weaken, reassess instead of stubbornly sticking to the original view.
At 21:30 Beijing time tonight, the US will also release its October nonfarm payrolls report. The data could further affect expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts and the direction of risk assets.
The trader believes this correction is worth watching, but it's still too early to declare that a bottom has formed.
Don't call the top, don't call the bottom, and don't chase the first big green candle. The macro sets the direction; the structure determines the entry.
How are you preparing to handle this sell-off?
A. Build a spot position in batches
B. Reduce positions and wait for confirmation
C. Remain bearish and wait for a bottom
D. Stay on the sidelines for now and wait for a signal
Let the market provide the answer instead of trying to predict it!
