The last U.S. government shutdown was back in Dec 22, 2018 – Jan 25, 2019, and it lasted 35 days (the longest in history).
You may want to know how markets reacted during that time:
-Bitcoin was already deep in its bear market and kept sliding, moving from around $3.7k down closer to $3.4k.
-Stocks (S&P 500) had 10% drop in December 2018 but then bounced hard in January 2019, recovering more than 9% that month.
-Gold did its thing as a safe haven, climbing about 3% through January.
So while Bitcoin struggled, stocks rebounded sharply, and gold stayed steady and gained a little.
History shows shutdowns don’t always kill the market, but they do bring uncertainty and that’s when you manage your porfolio and positions.
