Stock and Cryptocurrency Crash: Who's to Blame and What's Next?
đč Why Did the Market Crash?
The recent drop in cryptocurrency and stock prices is due to a combination of macroeconomic factors and crypto-specific issues, with the former having the most significant impact.
đ Why Did Bitcoin Fall?
Last week brought significant volatility to Wall Street. Major indices and futures dropped sharply by the end of the week due to growing recession fears. These concerns intensified after the release of the US employment report on Friday, raising worries about the strength of economic growth.
đ Geopolitical tensions are also contributing to market instability.
In the crypto market, the sell-off driven by recession fears led to a shift of capital away from high-risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. This movement was further fueled by recent developments in the US presidential race, which many view as less favorable for cryptocurrencies.
đ Summer is traditionally a slow period for cryptocurrencies, which may have also played a role.
đź Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates, improving the outlook for the US economy. As the presidential elections approach, market volatility will continue to rise as candidates refine their positions on cryptocurrencies.
đșđž The likelihood of an emergency Fed rate cut this week is 60%! A financial upheaval is on the horizon, potentially shaking global markets. Brace yourselves for unexpected changes! đđđš
Let's step back from the red market, switch off our emotions, and think rationally. I want to remind you that crypto is a high-risk asset, and such dips are a given that we need to accept.
High risk = high reward
Why am I confident in future growth and not worried about the negatives in my portfolio:
They won't let crypto crash before the elections. They'll manipulate it any way they can, but they won't let it crash.
The situation with Iran has escalated? And once again, the markets are falling on expectations, not the actual invasion, is this the first time? đ
The market situation very much resembles the scenario of 2021, and guess what? BTC reached its peak in November, for the second time after updating its ATH in the spring of that year. Does it remind you of anything? đ€
By the way, altcoins mostly grew back in the fall.
So if you don't have money to buy more â forget about the sell button until autumn, and thank me later đ
đŹ Vitalik Buterin sparked a storm of controversy by criticizing those who plan to vote for politicians based on their stance on cryptocurrencies.
In his opinion, such decisions carry a huge risk of betraying the principles of cypherpunks, which are the foundation of the crypto industry â privacy, freedom of thought, and access to information.
Buterin believes that loud promises could lead to the support of politicians whose broader values might not align with those of the crypto community.
The co-founder of Ethereum particularly condemned the acceptance of crypto by authoritarian regimes, such as Russia. According to him, these regimes support cryptocurrencies for their own benefit while suppressing individual freedoms of their citizens.

"During the seventh year, our focus on regulatory compliance, which was already substantial, became even stronger. [...] We now have licenses in 18 jurisdictions â more than any other centralized crypto exchange," Teng emphasized.
đž The probability of a rebound or rise in BTC significantly increases during periods of massive liquidations of short-term holders, especially when market fear reaches its peak. This is exactly such a moment â CryptoQuant đđ
