Weekly Market Overview: Volatility Amid Fed Cut Hopes, Nvidia Concerns, and Bitcoin Turmoil (Nov 24, 2025)

The U.S. stock market exhibited volatile behavior in the week ending Nov21, with major indices posting weekly losses despite Friday’s partial recovery [0]. The S&P500 fell 1.3% and Nasdaq dropped 2.7% weekly, driven by bearish concerns over an AI bubble and Nvidia’s accounting practices [1,3]. Defensive sectors like Healthcare (+1.73%) and Industrials (+1.52%) outperformed, indicating investor rotation away from high-growth tech (which rose only 0.15% weekly) [1]. Tesla’s 2.79% daily drop on Nov21 correlated with Bitcoin’s 23% November crash to $82,605 [5,8], linking crypto market turmoil to traditional stocks. Fed rate cut expectations (70% chance of Dec cut) provided some support, balancing the bearish narratives [2].
