The strong dollar and expectations of higher interest rates are causing investors to move funds out of assets like crypto, gold, and silver.


The sell-off in AI stocks this week is also making investors further avoid risky assets, putting pressure on BTC and ETH.
Broader context
The Fear & Greed Index is at 23 (Extreme Fear) (Changelly) — market sentiment is indeed very negative right now.
BTC's ATH was briefly touched, and by the end of 2025 BTC closed about 30% below its ATH (Fortune) — so this is part of a correction trend that has been ongoing for several months, not just a one-day drop.
$BTC
BTC-3.14%
ETH-5.26%
