📉 Market Volatility: $250 Billion Erased

The crypto market experienced a brutal sell-off, shedding $250 billion in total market value in just 24 hours.

What Happened?

  • Bitcoin plunged below $90,000

  • Over $1 billion in liquidations

  • 183,000 traders wiped out in one day

Major Catalysts

  • Escalating U.S.–EU tariff threats from President Trump

  • Growing fears of World War III escalation

  • Panic in Japan’s bond market spilling into global risk assets

Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped to 24, signaling extreme fear — historically a setup for massive volatility and potential trend reversals.

Some analysts view this as a macro-driven correction, not a structural collapse. Historical fractals still suggest Bitcoin could test $100,000 if key support levels hold.
