Bitcoin Falls to $77,000; FOMC in Focus This Week | WEEX TradFi Daily (September 14, 2026)

The market quickly shifted from post-election risk recovery to AI policy risk and data-center restriction pricing. After Democrats gained a clear seat advantage in the midterms, risk assets first traded lower uncertainty, but data-center limits, tighter AI regulation risk, and tech valuation pressure became the new selloff triggers. Thursday’s tech and AI-chain decline pulled BTC below $76,000, moving the market from earnings trades into a second-wave volatility window.

At the November 4 close, all three major indexes rose. Risk assets rebounded after election clarity, but AI-related stocks broadly declined. Brent and WTI oil both fell more than 9% over 24 hours. Bitcoin briefly rose above $80,000, and the crypto market warmed across the board. TRUMP token plunged. November 5 focus is earnings from Moderna, Sony, ConocoPhillips and others.
