❓ Why is this happening?

The sell-off isn’t random. Here’s what’s fueling the bloodbath:

1. Profit-Taking

BTC hit ~$105K — traders started cashing out. That triggered a wave of liquidations.

2. Inflation Worries

CPI numbers are due soon. Markets are nervous about higher inflation = potential delay in rate cuts.

3. Tariff Talk

Trump hinted at fresh China tariffs. That’s spooking global markets — trade war fears are back.

4. Overleveraged Positions

Massive long positions just got liquidated. $500B wiped as margin calls kicked in.

5. Regulatory Setback

Stablecoin legislation got blocked in the U.S. Senate. More regulatory uncertainty = more fear. a
