📉 Reaction on Binance and the crypto market
• Bitcoin plummeted from approximately $108,000 to $103,000, hitting lows below $103,000 at some points .
• Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and other altcoins suffered declines of 7–10%, with massive liquidations: over $1 billion in long positions were forced to close .

🤔 Why did it affect so much?
1. Risk aversion (“flight to safety”): in times of tension, investors prefer safe traditional assets (gold, USD, bonds) over cryptos .
2. Leverage flight: millions in long positions were liquidated, amplifying the drop .
3. Technical impact and algorithms: breaking of supports (BTC lost $108,000) triggered automated selling .
4. Inflation concerns: the rise in oil raises fears of inflation, which can affect risk assets.

💡 What to do on Binance?
🛒 1. Gradual buying (“dip buying”)
Set DCA orders:
• BTC: between $103,000–$105,000
• ETH: between $2,500–$2,600
• SOL, XRP: following the same logic.
⚠️ 2. Protect your exposure with stop-loss
Clearly define recovery or drop levels to avoid greater losses due to rebounds or new declines.
