⚠️ 🌪️💸 The US downgrade sinks Bitcoin and drags down the entire crypto space.⚠️
⚫️Black Monday for crypto!
✅️ Moody's: one of the world's leading credit rating agencies.
📊📉The market woke up to a jolt of reality… and it wasn't a network outage, a hack, or a tweet from Elon Musk. This time, the trigger came from Wall Street, with the official seal of approval of Moody's, which decided to downgrade the United States' credit rating from Aaa to Aa1. The result? Global financial panic, and yes, Bitcoin included.
🪙📉BTC fell from $106,000 on Sunday to $102,870 on Monday. Ethereum wasn't far behind, sliding into the $2,400 range. The total crypto market cap fell 1.67% to $3.25 trillion.
🤔 What exactly happened? 👉🏻 Let's get down to business:
Moody's sounded the alarm over the growing deficit, unstoppable public debt, rising interest rates, and lack of political agreement in the U.S.
➡️Wall Street reacted with a bang: the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 plummeted.
➡️And as is often the case in these cases… fear is contagious. Investors rushed to take profits, abandoning "risky" assets like cryptocurrencies.
🪙🤔But isn't Bitcoin supposed to be a safe haven from the crisis?
Good question. And the answer is: yes, but in the long term.
👉🏻In the short term, the market reacts with panic, liquidating positions and seeking refuge in cash or more stable assets. But if the US fiscal outlook continues to deteriorate, many will see Bitcoin as an alternative store of value, as has happened in previous cycles.
🤔What can we expect now?
Volatility, and lots of it. Bitcoin may continue to wobble, but at the same time, its "digital gold" narrative gains strength with each economic shock. Institutionalization continues, and interest in alternative assets hasn't died down; it's just taking a breather.
