Crypto Is Crashing - and It's Not Just a Crypto Story

The market just wiped out nearly $90B in a matter of hours. $BTC dropped below $66K, sliding almost $3,000 in about an hour and triggering around $70M in long liquidations. And it's not happening in isolation - U.S. stocks are falling too.

There are a few forces colliding here:

• Stock market weakness: The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 all moved lower. In this environment, crypto is trading more like tech stocks than digital gold.

• Liquidation cascade: As prices slipped, leveraged positions were forced to close. That added fuel to the drop and accelerated the move.

• Fear taking over: The Fear & Greed Index has fallen into extreme fear territory. When sentiment flips defensive, buyers step back fast.

Here's the bigger picture: some technical indicators now show oversold conditions, which can lead to short-term bounces. But until confidence returns across both equities and crypto, volatility isn't likely to calm down.
