If you're checking your wallets today with squinted eyes, I completely get you. The start of the month has brought a significant chill and a solid nerve test for investors. What's driving the current dips?

Capital outflow from ETFs: Institutions have hit the brakes for a moment. Record outflows from spot funds have heavily impacted market sentiment.
