High-beta AI assets are the first to get cut. Any spillover of liquidity into crypto will come later, not sooner. If BTC can’t hold its previous low in the short term, that will directly limit the rebound potential of ETH and SOL, and any bounce is unlikely to come with much volume. At these levels, would you dare place a limit order to buy BTC, or wait for a second test of the lows?
