Tina Fey Tackles the Crypto Crash: Is ‘Redtember’ Really a Thing? 🤔💰🔥

by

So, the crypto market decided to throw a little tantrum in the last 24 hours, dropping 3.87% to a mere $3.75 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. Because, you know, who needs trillions when you can have billions? Bitcoin, our favorite digital gold, dipped 3.77% to hover around $108,675. And Ethereum, the tech-savvy kid on the block, fell nearly 4%, settling at $4,340. But let’s give a special shoutout to XRP, which plummeted more than 5% to a measly $2.83. Ouch! 🤷‍♀️

Solana, feeling a bit Sol-less, slipped to $205. Dogecoin, the meme king, lost over 4%, and Cardano, always the bridesmaid never the bride, shed 4.4%, bringing it down to $0.82. This delightful dip came right after Trump’s sudden removal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook on August 28, adding a dash of political spice to the financial stew. 🌶️

The September Pattern

Traders are now scratching their heads, wondering if this selloff is just the beginning of a larger correction. Because, as we all know, history loves to repeat itself like a bad sitcom rerun. Every major four-year crypto cycle has delivered steep September losses. In 2013, Bitcoin dropped 15% in early September. In 2017, it crashed 40% during the same month, dragging all the altcoins down with it. And in 2021, Bitcoin lost 25% between September 7 and September 21. So, is this just another episode of “Redtember”? 🍂🔥

With inflation data set to be released later this week, the risk of more downside is high. Analysts, those ever-so-cheery folks, warn that a higher-than-expected PCE print could spark two sharp red candles similar to past cycles, possibly pushing Bitcoin down another 10 to 20% and altcoins down 30 to 50%. Fun times ahead! 🎉

Outlook Ahead

If history repeats, September could bring a two-to-three-week correction before markets find their footing again. In past cycles, these shakeouts often created the conditions for strong Q4 rallies. For now, experts are watching the $100,000 support zone for Bitcoin, which could serve as a critical level heading into the final quarter of the year. So, buckle up, buttercup, it might get bumpy! 🛬
