Cryptocurrency Crash 2022

The 2022 cryptocurrency crash is felt by everyone from individual investors who have already pinned their long-term savings plans on their cryptocurrency portfolios to massive mining companies operating in various parts of the world.

The current crypto crash is thought to be the result of a backdrop in the global economy caused by the pandemic, high inflation rates, and the threat of multiple recessions in many major countries such as Russia and Ukraine.

Because cryptocurrencies are decentralized in nature, they are not directly impacted by inflation; however, their impact is felt strongly by crypto investors. These investors were allegedly forced to withdraw their crypto investments.

This was widely reported when the US cryptocurrency lending company Celsius Network breached investor trust by freezing withdrawals and transfers in June 2022. Furthermore, the cost of living has already increased, while energy prices continue to rise.

Many successful cryptocurrency venture stories have emerged, particularly during bull runs. This crypto crash may scare and eventually drive new investors away, but seasoned investors already know that this is not the first or last time. 

The cryptocurrency 2022 crash is a result of rising energy prices and inflation, and the massive drop in crypto value is expected to recover before the end of the year.

He predicts that the market’s accumulation cycle will begin on or before 2023.

Trading Tank

Trading tank predicted in a tweet that both the stock and crypto markets will fall in price as a result of the Fed’s 75 basis point rate hike announcement. This is due to higher inflation, and both the core CPI and the PPI data ‘came in hot.’

He even mentioned that the rate hike could potentially improve sentiments, leading to a sense of ‘victory la’ due to a mid-term crypto price rally. He also predicts further selling after a 100 basis point hike is announced. Where it has the potential to worsen the test of lows or crash.

MacnBTC
