$BTC Why is the crypto market dipping? (simplified)

In my opinion, there are 3 main factors right now:

🔸 Fears of a tech-selloff following the launch/hype of DeepSeek (US open is set to be bloody according to futures), crypto is front running as markets are closed & it's a higher risk-beta asset class.

🔸 Pre-FOMC de-risking (this is very normal, especially in an environment where we're extremely sensitive to rates/U.S. dollar/liquidity).

🔸Lack of short-term "north star" after Trump's inauguration.
