Crypto Market Turns Red: What’s Behind the Recent Drop? 🔻
The crypto market is experiencing a significant downturn, following a sharp decline in major U.S. stock indices. Bitcoin (BTC), which recently surged past the $100,000 mark, has dropped around 4%, now trading close to $99,000. Other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) are also down, with losses ranging between 6% and 9% in the last 24 hours.
📉 What’s Causing the Market to Turn Red?
The current crypto correction is closely linked to the recent downturn in Wall Street. Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have fallen by 3% and 1.3%, respectively. A key trigger is the rise of Chinese start-up DeepSeek with its new AI model, causing uncertainty in the tech sector, especially impacting companies like Nvidia.
💡 The Bitcoin-Nasdaq Connection
According to market analyst Javier Cabrera:
"The crypto market tends to drop sharply when the Nasdaq 100 does, showing a strong correlation during periods of tension."
Additionally, the recent surge in crypto prices has prompted profit-taking among investors, with DeepSeek’s impact serving as the perfect excuse for a market correction.
🚀 Opportunity or Danger?
While this sharp decline may seem alarming, volatility is part of the crypto landscape. Many investors view these dips as buying opportunities, while others adopt a cautious stance.
