Factors Contributing to the Decline

導致下降的因素

• US Stock Market Decline: The analyst observed a simultaneous decline in the US stock market, with the NASDAQ dropping by 3.26% and the S&P 500 by 2.1%. Nvidia also witnessed a substantial 10% decline amidst rumors of a DOJ subpoena.
• Economic Slowdown: The equity market downturn is attributed to an economic slowdown, particularly in terms of job data, which sparked investor panic. As Bitcoin becomes increasingly correlated with the stock market, it has followed this downward trend.
• Japan Stock Market Volatility: The Japan stock market added further pressure on global markets. The Nikkei 225 dropped nearly 4%, influenced by ongoing volatility in the yen carry trade. This decline in Japanese stocks contributed to a broader global market downturn, including cryptocurrencies.
• Bitcoin ETF Outflow: In addition to the stock market decline, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a $288 million withdrawal, marking the largest outflow in the past four months. This outflow suggests that institutional investors may be adjusting their portfolios or anticipating further volatility.
• Massive Liquidations: The sharp price drop was exacerbated by $170 million in liquidated long positions within the last day. As leveraged positions are forced to sell as prices decline, it further intensifies the downward momentum.
