📉 Analysis of the sharp decline in the price of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC)

1. 📌 Background of the market crash#StopLossStrategies

The price of Ethereum (ETH) sharply declined by 10%, while Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $79,000 amid a strong sell-off sweeping the cryptocurrency markets.

🔹 This decline is influenced by the collapse of global financial markets, where the U.S. stock market lost more than $6 trillion in just two days.

🔹 This shows investors fleeing from risky assets (like cryptocurrencies) toward safer havens.

2. 📉 Reasons for the decline

- 🔗 Correlation with traditional markets: Although Bitcoin has shown resilience in previous periods, economic concerns (like inflation and interest rate hikes) are pressuring cryptocurrencies.

- 💰 Sell-off pressures:

- ETH reaching $1,601 (daily low).

- Liquidation of leveraged positions in derivatives.

- Investors cashing out to take profits after the recent rise.

- 😨 Dominance of negative sentiment: The cryptocurrency fear and greed index indicates a "fear" phase, leading to random sell-offs.

3. ⚠️ Bitcoin proves to be a high-risk investment

Although BTC is considered "digital gold", its drop below $79,000 reminds us that:

- 🔄 Highly volatile in unstable times.

- 📉 Depends on liquidity flows (like ETFs).

- 🛡️ No central support to prevent rapid collapses.
