Bitcoin: Why This Crash & What To Expect Now

By MakeItReal | MakeItReal | 6 Aug 2024


Hello HODLers!

The recent cryptocurrency market crash has surprised many investors, with Bitcoin losing 18% of its value in just 24 hours, dropping to around $51,100. Ether also suffered an even more significant loss of 23%, dropping its value to around $2,200. This crash had a significant impact, wiping out all of Ether's annual gains up to that point.

Reasons for the Crash
The cryptocurrency crash was triggered by the collapse of Asian markets, particularly due to the Bank of Japan's decision to raise interest rates to the highest levels in 16 years. This caused the Nikkei 225 to drop by 12.4%, its worst day since "Black Monday" in 1987, and the Topix to drop by 12.23%. These events have had repercussions on global markets, including cryptocurrency markets.

Impact on US Markets
US markets have also been affected by the turmoil, with the Nasdaq down 3.4% over the past week, and further declines expected for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones. The CBOE Volatility Index has risen 58.7%, reaching its highest level since 2020, reflecting growing investor nervousness.

Economic and Financial Impact
Since August 2, the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has fallen by $510 billion. The plunge has involved more institutional investors, attracted by spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. In addition, over $600 million in leveraged long positions have been liquidated due to the sudden collapse of the crypto market.

Effects on Ether Traders
The surge in open interest in Ether, due to the impending approval of spot Ether ETFs in the US, has seen a sharp reversal, with over $256 million in long positions liquidated. Investors who had used leverage to gain exposure to the asset have been hit hard by the price decline.

Expert Opinions
eToro’s Josh Gilbert highlighted how cryptocurrencies are often a bellwether for investor sentiment, predicting a possible recovery in the coming months, seeing the current situation as an opportunity. However, other analysts are more cautious, with concerns that the US economy is entering a recession.

Economic Environment and Interest Rates
In the US, recent economic data points to a possible recession, with job growth falling short of expectations and unemployment rising. The Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policy, with interest rates at a 23-year high, could worsen the economic situation, according to some experts.

Political Outlook and Market Impact
The upcoming US presidential election could impact the cryptocurrency market. Donald Trump has expressed support for Bitcoin, while Vice President Kamala Harris is gaining ground in the polls, creating political uncertainty that could negatively impact the markets.

Technology and AI
The technology sector has been in a downturn, with many companies reporting lower-than-expected results. Investments in artificial intelligence are not generating the expected profits, causing disillusionment among investors and further sell-offs in the technology sector, contributing to uncertainty in global financial markets.

In conclusion, the cryptocurrency crash was caused by a combination of global economic factors, tight monetary policies, and political uncertainty, which has significant implications for investors and the future outlook of the market.

What to expect now?
The recent crash of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market has highlighted their vulnerability to macroeconomic events and political decisions. However, it is important to remember that there are fundamental factors that have yet to show their full impact in the long term, such as the approval of ETFs and the Bitcoin halving. These events could potentially lead to a recovery and significant growth in the future.

Despite the risk signals, it is important to note that analysts have virtually never been able to accurately predict a recession. Economic forecasts are inherently uncertain and often subject to sudden changes. Furthermore, during bull markets, the cryptocurrency market tends to become decorrelated from equities, potentially presenting different opportunities for investors.

In conclusion, although the cryptocurrency market is going through a difficult phase, the long-term outlook remains attractive. Investors should maintain a long-term view and consider both the risks and opportunities that this dynamic market offers.
