$BTC $ETH It's amazing how the crypto market has the power to turn us inside out, right? Today is just one of those days when we wake up and it seems like everything is painted red. It's as if the chart is bleeding, and the first reaction is always that gut punch.
I was following Bitcoin, which had barely recovered from the last drops, and now it seems to be on life support, testing everyone's patience. And the altcoins? Oh, those... many of them seem to have taken a knockout, with percentage drops that would make anyone think about selling everything and going to live in a cabin without internet.
We know there's the fight between Trump and Elon Musk, which doesn't help at all. When two titans like that start to clash, the market feels the impact, and uncertainty hangs in the air. Adding to that is the outflow of money from Bitcoin ETFs, which is a sign that the big players are hitting the brakes, and that's it: the broth spills over.
It's in these moments that 'fear' in the market becomes almost an entity. You watch the coin you bought with so much hope plummet, and the temptation to get rid of it is enormous. It's the famous 'cutting losses,' which often becomes 'selling at the bottom of the well.' But, at the same time, we who are in this boat know that these are the most treacherous waters – and, for some, the most full of opportunity.
Today is a day for patience. A day to take a deep breath, reevaluate, and try not to let emotion guide decisions. The red is strong, yes. But those who have been around longer know that the crypto market is a roller coaster, and what is down there today, tomorrow might be on fire again. The big question is: can we withstand the ride?
