Crypto and Stocks Take a Nosedive
Hey there, Crypto Enthusiasts! Let’s break down the latest happenings that have got everyone from Wall Street suits to Reddit degenerates talking.
Market Meltdown: Crypto and Stocks in Sync
The crypto market is seeing red across the board, and it’s not just a coincidence that the U.S. stock market is also having a rough time.
On Wednesday, Wall Street took a hit, with tech stocks leading the decline.The reason? Apparently, the hype around artificial intelligence is cooling off, and investors are getting jittery.
Bitcoin Stumbles, Ethereum Plummets
Our beloved Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped below the critical $64,000 mark, shedding nearly 4% in the last 24 hours. But that’s nothing compared to Ethereum (ETH), which has nosedived by over 9%.
$300 Million Liquidation Frenzy: Hold onto your seats, because the liquidations have been brutal. Coinglass data reveals that over $300 million has been liquidated from the crypto market in just 24 hours.
Binance, the crypto exchange behemoth, saw nearly $100 million wiped out in half that time. It’s like watching a high-stakes game of financial Jenga, and the tower is starting to wobble.
Wall Street and Crypto: A Tale of Two Markets
Benjamin Celermajer, co-chief investment officer at Magnet Capital, points out that crypto and U.S. equities are playing follow-the-leader.
When stocks have a bad day, crypto tends to catch the same cold. This time, it seems the sneeze came from the tech sector, with AI enthusiasm waning and big names like Google’s parent company Alphabet seeing their stocks take a hit.
Ethereum ETFs: A Debut to Forget
Remember all the excitement about Ethereum ETFs launching? Well, the party was short-lived. Despite attracting $106 million on their first day of trading, the trend quickly reversed.
By day two, we saw outflows of $133.16 million, according to SoSoValue. Grayscale’s ETHE took an especially hard hit, with $810 million flowing out in just two trading sessions. Talk about a tough crowd!
What’s Next for Investors?
With both crypto and stocks on shaky ground, investors are left wondering what’s next. Some analysts are drawing parallels to previous market cycles, reminding us that volatility is par for the course. Others are keeping a close eye on macroeconomic factors, including the upcoming U.S. presidential election and potential Fed actions.
Whether you’re holding crypto or playing the stock market (or both), these are turbulent times and volatility in both directions should be expected.

Navigating the Dip to Discover Your Rainbow
The recent market dip has been tough, catching many investors off guard. However, Max, an analyst from X, highlights an interesting trend in the US equity markets: small-cap stocks are outperforming large-cap stocks.
Max notes that small-cap stocks are doing exceptionally well, while large-cap stocks are lagging. He finds this comparison quite revealing.
Interestingly, Max links this market behavior to Bitcoin’s performance. He recalls that in the previous market cycle, Bitcoin saw a significant increase and hit a new all-time high after a similar trend in the stock market.
Max believes this suggests a potential correlation between these stock market trends and Bitcoin’s behavior, leading him to think that Bitcoin might reach a new all-time high this year.
Are you watching what is happening with small caps in US equity markets? They’re incredibly strong despite large caps lagging right now.
When you pair US Small Caps vs US Mega Cap Tech you get a very revealing pair chart.

Lark Davis – Warning! Markets Crashing As Bitcoin Buy Signal Appears (25.07.2024 Summary)
Lark discusses recent market turmoil, noting significant drops in both traditional and cryptocurrency markets. He highlights that the S&P 500 fell 2.3% in its biggest decline since December 2022, while the NASDAQ plunged 3.6%, marking its worst day since October 2022. Despite this downturn, Lark maintains a relatively optimistic outlook.
-
Interestingly, amid the market chaos, Lark points out that a Bitcoin buy signal has appeared on the hash ribbon indicator. While cautioning against relying solely on one indicator, he notes that historically, this signal has often preceded significant price increases. For instance, the last two times this signal appeared, in August 2023 and January 2023, Bitcoin’s price subsequently rose by 100% and 200% respectively.
-
However, Lark emphasizes the importance of patience and careful observation. He advises viewers to watch how price action plays out over the next few days, as the signal could potentially be invalidated.
-
He identifies key support levels for Bitcoin at the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages, with another significant support level around $61-62k.
Despite the current market downturn, Lark remains bullish on the long-term prospects of cryptocurrencies. He points to increasing global liquidity, rising M2 money supply, and the trend of interest rate cuts in various countries as potential catalysts for future market growth. Lark suggests that these factors, combined with upcoming events like the U.S. presidential elections, could drive the market higher in the coming months.
Ivan On Tech – BITCON: DUMPING FAST AGAIN!!!! (25.07.2024 Summary)
Ivan discusses the recent downturn in the cryptocurrency market, particularly focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum. He notes that the stock market, especially the NASDAQ, has seen significant drops recently, which has affected crypto prices. Ivan points out that the NASDAQ is down almost 10% from its peak three weeks ago, calling it “quite massive” for the stock market.
-
According to Ivan, Ethereum (ETH) is particularly affected due to its recent ETF launch and issues with Grayscale outflows. He mentions that ETH saw approximately $100 million in net outflows from ETFs yesterday. Despite the overall market downturn, Ivan highlights that Solana has been performing strongly, up 7% over the last seven days.
-
Ivan suggests that this market dip presents an opportunity for long-term investors to buy their favorite coins at a discount. He emphasizes the small size of the crypto market compared to the stock market, noting that the stock market’s recent $1.1 trillion loss is equivalent to the entire cryptocurrency asset class excluding Bitcoin.
-
Looking ahead, Ivan discusses several factors that could positively impact the crypto market towards the end of the year. These include potential interest rate cuts, the U.S. presidential election, and possible changes in the Ukraine conflict. He also mentions that major geopolitical players like China, Russia, and the U.S. are all converging on the need for crypto, albeit for different reasons.
Overall, despite the current market volatility, Ivan maintains a bullish long-term outlook on Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. He encourages viewers to look beyond short-term fluctuations and consider the bigger picture of crypto adoption and its potential as a revolutionary paradigm in finance.
