Today, the crypto market plummeted sharply and, from my unpopular perspective, there are several reasons behind this drop:
🔍 1. Regulatory Intervention:
Rumors – and some preliminary announcements – about new restrictive measures in the U.S. and Europe have spread. The possibility of drastic regulation generated panic, forcing massive sell-offs.
🔍 2. Liquidations in Derivatives:
The futures and options market showed signs of stress. Leveraged positions were liquidated in a chain reaction, amplifying the drop. The inherent volatility of these instruments became a heightened risk factor.
🔍 3. FUD on Social Media:
Social media exploded with negative messages and rumors of hacks and technical errors on major exchanges. Fear spread quickly, triggering a massive sell-off and a cascade of FUD.
🔍 4. Technical Adjustment and Asset Rotation:
Some investors took the opportunity to adjust their portfolios after periods of euphoria. The correction was, in part, a "cleaning" of the market, with rebalancing movements reflecting an underlying reality of overvaluation.
The question that remains is:
Was this drop a reflection of rational panic in response to regulatory tightening and imbalances in derivatives, or simply a manipulation maneuver to destabilize the market and buy cheap?
