Full Story
We’re going to begin this one by quoting ourselves from early December, as a result of it’s eerily related…
“You recognize that woman from YouTube that swims with tiger sharks and pets them virtually as in the event that they’re canine?
In case you watch sufficient of her movies, you virtually overlook that these sharks are wild animals able to ripping your face off…
Over the weekend, the crypto group received the same reminder of Bitcoin’s wild/face ripping tendencies.“
ICYMI: the crypto markets took a nostril dive over the weekend.
Bitcoin went from $71k to $61k, Ethereum went from ~$3.5k to ~$2.8k, and Solana went from ~$175 to ~$120.
So why’d this all occur?
We’ll begin by reminding you that we’re not monetary consultants…
As a substitute, what we do right here is:
Put our private lives on the road, by pushing our every day display time as much as ranges that a number of therapists have referred to as “wildly unsustainable, and deeply unhealthy” — boiling the information down, so that you don’t need to!
So, with that…
Right here’re the highest three components cited by most big-brain pundits:
-
Inflation isn’t decreasing as anticipated (which is unhealthy for danger belongings like crypto)
-
Pre-halving promote offs like this have occurred like clockwork in every earlier bull cycle
-
The Bitcoin ETFs had a tough finish to the week, and had been possible promoting Bitcoin over the weekend
Oh and, we don’t know if that is correlation or causation, however:
The actual market dive began across the identical time information broke that Iran had launched a drone assault on Israel, sparking hyperbolic chatter about WW3 beginning…it was all very “Russia/Ukraine Feb 2022.”
