Stocks and Crypto Both Drenched in Red

We’re just gonna come right out and say it: We wish we could tell you that it’s smooth sailing out there today but holy heck, it is looking grizzly as hell 🐻

Bears have taken over, markets are in free fall 📉,
portfolio’s are getting absolutely rinsed 💸 
and there’s nothing you can do about it!

Actually, that’s not entirely true! Because you can stay informed 📢,
and then make decisions based on that information.

Information that you are about to acquire, should you continue reading!

Knowledge is power, yada yada yada.

Alright so before we tuck into the sh!t sandwich that is the news, you will notice that things are DOWN right now. Markets are bleeding out on the table, and not just crypto markets either! Stocks across the board are down.

📉 Bitcoin down below $80K
📉 ETH is under $2K
📉 SOL, ADA, AVAX and XRP are down 10-20%

But as we said, it’s not just crypto—stocks are getting wrecked too 🏚️,
with the Nasdaq down over 3% and the S&P 500 dropping 2%.

So, why is this happening? 

Well, the market’s got no fresh good news to pump prices, and on top of that, we’ve got macroeconomic issues weighing things down 🌍. Things like the looming trade wars ⚠️ between the US and its closest allies, a cooling economy ❄️, and just a general uncertainty in the air across the globe…

People don’t feel comfortable investing in things right now because the only thing that feels certain is NO ONE knows what’s going on rn 🤷.

On the political side, Trump’s recent Bitcoin reserve executive order and the White House’s crypto summit are already in the rearview mirror 🚗💨, and that was a massive flop. So there’s no immediate bullish narrative left to push things up.

And to add insult to injury, during a Fox News interview, Trump wouldn’t rule out a recession. Doesn’t exactly settle the nerves when the guy in charge literally says:

“Look, we’re going to have disruption, but we’re OK with that.”

Who is OK with that?

Certainly not investors, because they’re pulling out faster than the football captain on prom night 🏃💨.

Right now, crypto is moving in sync with stocks, and unless something changes—like some GOOD NEWS 📢—this volatility is probably sticking around ⏳.

In fact, it could get worse before it gets better, because key U.S. economic data is going to be released soon 📊, and that’s not likely to be full of good news either.

📢 Nigel Green (CEO of financial giant deVere Group) still thinks we’re in a bull market.

Because as far as he’s concerned, the big picture hasn’t really changed.

One thing to keep in mind—this drop happened right after Trump’s executive order to establish a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.

A lot of people expected the U.S. government to start buying up BTC immediately, and when that didn’t happen, they got mad and sold 😡📉

And as we know, that selling pressure didn’t just hit Bitcoin;
altcoins like XRP, SOL, and ADA took a beating too.

But Green thinks that people are missing the point:
this executive order is a game-changer

It sets the stage for Bitcoin to become a major geopolitical asset 🌍

He’s saying other countries (especially those that already hoard gold 🏆) might take this as a signal to start stacking Bitcoin for their own reserves.

If that happens, we could see sovereign wealth funds, central banks, and institutional investors diving in 🏦.

Basically, he’s looking beyond the short-term panic and seeing a longer-term shift.

If the U.S. holding Bitcoin in reserves becomes the normal thing to do, regulation clarity will probably follow.

Which tbf is pretty bullish 

Risky assets (and crypto is definitely one of those) could still face more selling pressure.

If Green’s right, this whole reserve play could be setting Bitcoin up for something much bigger 🚀.

We’re just going to have to wait and see 👀
