$500 billion vanished from US equities in an hour. That's the kind of violence that reminds you risk-off doesn't ask permission.
When legacy markets puke like this, crypto typically follows—at least initially. We've seen it before: panic spreads, margin calls hit, liquidity drains across all assets. $BTC and alts usually catch the contagion before decoupling.
But here's the thing: if this is macro fear driving the sell-off (rate fears, recession talk, geopolitical shock), crypto's narrative as a non-correlated hedge starts mattering again. We're still early cycle. Once the dust settles and the Fed's hand is forced, that's when digital assets shine.
Right now? Respect the structure. Watch your levels. Don't chase the knife. Let the market show its hand, then position accordingly. This kind of flush can set up the next leg higher if you stay disciplined and don't get shaken out at the lows.
Crypto's long-term thesis hasn't changed. Short-term pain is just noise in a multi-year bull run.
