Galaxy Digital (GLXY) fell over 7% to $14.88 amid crypto market weakness and reported Binance breach concerns. Read the key technicals.
Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:GLXY) stock fell more than 7% Monday as weakness in the cryptocurrency market and continued selling pressure weighed on shares.
The decline came despite gains in the broader market. The Nasdaq rose 0.19%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.42%. Financial stocks climbed 2.04%.
Cryptocurrency Weakness Weighs on Sentiment

According to the report, Binance disclosed on X that unauthorized actors withdrew about $6.3 billion during a Thursday incident.
The reported breach added to concerns across the digital asset market.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) traded at $76,989.06 Monday, down 1.3% over the previous 24 hours.

Technical Indicators Signal Continued Weakness
Galaxy Digital shares remain under pressure, trading 16.6% below their 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 31.6% below their 50-day SMA.
