Bitcoin stumbles in 2025 drops 5 percent after October peak as liquidation fears grow

Bitcoin ended 2025 down 5% and about 30% from its October peak after a wave of volatility and mass liquidations.

Hospital stocks are holding up even as markets swing, backed by faster EBITDA growth than revenue. Over FY2019-20 to FY2024-25, sector revenues rose around 15.5% annually while EBITDA grew about 25%.
