Bitcoin and crypto prices have moved sharply lower, diving along with a stock market sell-off sparked by the surging popularity of China-based artificial intelligence app DeepSeek.
The bitcoin price has dropped under $100,000 per bitcoin, down from an all-time high of almost $110,000 ahead of U.S. president Donald Trump's inauguration (despite the chief executive of major bitcoin and crypto exchange Coinbase predicting when the bitcoin price could flip gold's $18 trillion).
Now, as BlackRock's Larry Fink reveals his discussions with sovereign wealth funds about buying bitcoin, closely-watched crypto trader Arthur Hayes has warned of a looming "financial crisis" that he expects to unleash fresh Federal Reserve stimulus measures.
"I am calling for a $70,000 to $75,000 correction in bitcoin [and] a mini financial crisis," Hayes, a cofounder of bitcoin and crypto derivatives pioneer BitMex who went on to set up the Maelstrom investment fund, posted to X.
Bitcoin rocketed past $70,000 on the back of Donald Trump's November election victory as traders bet Trump will spur the growth of bitcoin and crypto.
Last week, Trump followed through on his campaign promises to make overhauling crypto policy one of his administration's priorities, ordering the creation of a bitcoin and cryptocurrency working group tasked with proposing new regulations and exploring the creation of a national cryptocurrency stockpile.
The bitcoin price is closely correlated to the U.S. stock market, with bitcoin and crypto trading in line with high-growth tech stocks that have surged due to the rush into artificial intelligence since 2022 but now look at risk as DeepSeek achieves performance similar OpenAI's models with fewer chip requirements.
"Risk-off is the theme as DeepSeek scares investors," market analyst Adam Kobeissi posted to X, pointing to the crypto and bitcoin price sell-off that's seen ethereum rival solana drop 10%.
"Nasdaq 100 futures are now down -330 points since the market opened just hours ago as DeepSeek takes #1 on the App Store. This is how you know DeepSeek has become a major threat to U.S. large cap tech," Kobeissi's market advisory service account posted.
This week, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to leave interest rates on hold when it meets for its first policy meeting since Trump assumed office on Wednesday, though Trump has said he wants the Fed to bring interest rates down.
"With oil prices going down, I'll demand that interest rates drop immediately, and likewise they should be dropping all over the world," Trump told World Economic Forum attendees last week.
However, Hayes said he believes the Fed will resume "money printing that will send [the bitcoin price] to $250,000 by the end of the year."
U.S. debt has soared over recent years, topping $34 trillion at the beginning of 2024, with Covid and lockdown stimulus measures contributing to massive government spending and helping to send inflation spiraling out of control in 2022.
Inflation of over 10% forced the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates at a historical clip, pushing up debt interest payments and fueling fears of a "death spiral."

This isn’t just speculation—it’s history.
🚀 In both 2017 and 2021, altseason kicked off right after Bitcoin corrected by 10-20%.

🚨 Just recently, we saw a 10% drop in $BTC, signaling the start of something big.

If history repeats, we’re on the brink of parabolic growth where:

💸 $100 in the right altcoins can turn into $10,000.
But timing is everything—altseason lasts 4-5 months, and the real explosion happens in just 1-2 months.

Crazy bloodbath Monday, where both traditional and crypto markets got absolutely wrecked. If you thought last week’s correction was bad, well, buckle up—this week’s chaos has left investors reeling, accounts liquidated, and hopes hanging by a thread. Let’s break it down.
🚀 Chinese AI App DeepSeek Steals ChatGPT’s Crown
In a shocking twist, China’s AI app DeepSeek skyrocketed to the top of global download charts, dethroning OpenAI’s ChatGPT. While everyone loves a shiny new toy ✨, this isn’t just about innovation—DeepSeek’s rise sent waves of uncertainty through tech stocks, with investors questioning if the AI bubble is already stretched to its breaking point.
But here’s the kicker: Chinese apps have a history of glorified promises, shady privacy practices 🕵️‍♀️, and—let’s be honest—straight-up lies 🤥. So, is DeepSeek just another overhyped “TikTok moment” 📱, or a genuine disruptor? Only time will tell, but one thing’s clear: it rattled global markets like crazy.
📉 AI Hype Crashes the US Stock Market
Wall Street wasn’t spared either. As AI enthusiasm reached fever pitch, investors realized the emperor might not be wearing any clothes 👑❌. The over-reliance on AI-driven growth caused the US stock market to tumble, triggering panic among institutional players and retail traders alike. When the AI hype train derails 🚂, it does so spectacularly—and guess who gets run over? Everyone chasing the trend.
💔 Crypto Markets Take a Beating
And now to the pain closest to home: the crypto market got obliterated. Longs were liquidated left, right, and center, wiping out any unrealized profits traders thought they had secured, it’s bleeding 🩸. It’s a brutal reminder of the unforgiving nature of this market.
The question is: what’s next?
🔮 So, What’s Next for Markets?
Here’s the honest truth: things might get worse before they get better. The short-term outlook looks grim, with uncertainty clouding every corner of the market ☁️. But strong fundamentals always win in the long run 🌟.
Projects with strong fundamentals will weather this storm, just as they’ve done before. Why? Because while Chinese apps like DeepSeek thrive on overblown promises, privacy scandals 🔓, and questionable ethics, crypto markets, despite their volatility, are built on transparent, decentralized fundamentals.
📌 My Two Cents
•Don’t open big longs until we see clear breakouts 🚫📈. Trying to time the bottom is a fool’s game, and the market makers are already playing you like a fiddle 🎻.
•If you’re in spot positions, stick to DCA (dollar-cost averaging) 🪙. These moments of chaos are golden opportunities for those who can stomach the short-term pain.
•Keep your emotions in check 😤—this is how market makers win. They thrive on your panic and FOMO.
🛡️ Final Words
Yes, it’s a rough start to the week, but this is how the game works. Markets tumble, people panic, and yet, over time, the projects with real value emerge stronger 💪. Don’t let the noise sway you—be patient, stay disciplined, and always think long-term.
