🌍 Panic Markets: historic drop in crypto

Last night, the crypto market experienced a massive correction: most cryptocurrencies lost between 20% and 30% in a few hours.

The origin of the shock: new customs taxes announced by Donald Trump on Chinese technological imports (up to 100%). This trade escalation has revived economic tensions between the two largest world powers, causing a global panic movement in 'risky' markets.

Direct consequence:

Investors massively sold their crypto positions.

Chain liquidations hit the market, with over 19 billion dollars of leveraged positions wiped out in 24 hours — a historic record.

The cascading effect amplified the drop: over-leveraged 'longs' were ejected one after another.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the majority of altcoins plunged together, illustrating the market's vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks and over-leverage usage.

➡️ For now, the watchword is caution and risk management: volatility remains extreme, and the geopolitical situation could continue to influence the market in the coming days.
