Bitcoin just dropped $2,400 in an hour, while alts are in free fall as usual. Here’s why:
1. Everything is dumping
- Stocks are dumping today - Precious metals are dumping - Only DXY is up
This is a sign that investors are exiting assets, including crypto, and moving into dollar.
2. Weak economic data
- US home sales fell -8.4% last month, the worst in almost 4 years. - Initial jobless claims came higher than expected, which means a weak labor market. - All this indicates a weakening economy, which increases the odds of recession.
3. Government shutdown
- The odds of another government shutdown this week have risen to 96% - This is bad for the economy and markets as liquidity dries up during shutdown.
My thoughts - The US economy is now facing some turbulence. - This is affecting the stock market and the crypto market too. - I think this could continue for some time until Trump announces another trade deal or some liquidity injection to boost the markets.
Every time the market drops, the same thing happens.
Bitcoin falls and people panic.
Suddenly everyone says: “Bitcoin is dead.” “It’s going to zero.” “It’s a scam.” “It has no value.”
But this isn’t new:
In 2013, they said it was dead. In 2015, they said it was over. In 2018, they said the bubble had popped forever. In 2022, they said crypto was finished.
And now they’re saying it again.
Every cycle, when the price crashes, people lose hope and forget that this has happened before.
When Bitcoin is going up, everyone calls it the future. When Bitcoin is going down, everyone calls it a scam.
Years later, when the price recovers, the same people who said “it’s going to zero” will start asking:
Bitcoin remains defensive between $60k–$72k zone while the $82k–$97k overhead supply caps rallies. Treasury outflows, reactive spot volume, and cooling futures signal shallow demand, keeping price reactive rather than expansionary.
