Crypto Market: The Zoo in Freefall 🎢🐘
"-5% today, -15% this week, -80% all-time on some... But hey, at least we’re not alone!"
3 instant causes (with tragic humor):
1. Trump Tariff War 💸
New tariffs on imports → inflation ↗ → FED delays interest rate cuts → panic in crypto. "If China pays extra taxes, miners flee to Antarctica to dig with penguins."❄️⛏️
2. Record liquidations: $1.1B in 24h 💣
BTC fell to $102.8k after Israel-Iran escalations. "Whales buy the dip like it’s a Black Friday sale, retail cries in USDT."🐳🎁
3. “Dead” coins dragging the market down ⚰️
USUAL ▼90% (probably rug pull), DOT ▼58% this year, LPT ▼61% vs ATH. "We call them ‘digital fossils’ – interesting in a museum, but useless in a wallet."
Why does it continue?
- FUD is the fuel of chaos 🔥: Negative news → liquidations → more negative news. "The crypto vicious cycle: you eat popcorn, but the market eats you."
- Evaporated liquidity ☁️: Small projects (like USUAL) have a TVL below $1M. When liquidity disappears, the price drops 10x in a day.
- ETFs are busy with BTC 👀: 97% of inflows ($639M/day) go to Bitcoin. Altcoins are left with the "crumbs".
Final joke:
"The crypto market is like a marathon: you run for profit, but sometimes you get cramps from the FUD. The secret? You use dips as breathing breaks!" 😮💨
🔍 Source of optimism:
- BTC bounces back quickly: From $102.8k to $104.8k in 2 hours
- Stablecoins save: USDC is the "lifeboat" when the waves are too high 🛶
- Airdrops on CEX: Binance/Bybit offset losses with quick listings (+30% in hours)
HODL? Rather “grit your teeth and use the stop-loss.” ⚰️💡
