Bitcoin and Ether fell sharply during weekend trading before rebounding, while perpetual contracts tied to several AI and semiconductor stocks also plunged, triggering leveraged liquidations ahead of Monday’s U.S. session. Bitcoin (BTC) slid about $1,000 before recovering $1,200. Ether (ETH) dropped from $2,420 to $2,360, then climbed to $2,410. Perpetual contracts linked to SOXL, SNDK and MU fell 5.45%, 3.6% and 3.42%, respectively. Most of those losses were quickly erased, but leveraged positions worth millions of dollars were liquidated. The moves came as markets headed into a new week after losses across global equities.
