So yesterday, bitcoin took a tumble breaking its support levels of 43 000, resulting in an overall crypto market crash in this video. We're gon na be talking about why the market crashed what you should be doing as an investor, how you can prepare now. Some of the moves that i'm making and why the crypto market crash could be a good opportunity as well now before we hop into the computer. If you guys do appreciate these type of updates and the content that we're putting out.

Do me a favor and drop a like down below. I know it's hard dropping a like on a video talking about a market crash because you might think it's about the market crashing and you like the market crash. But that is not the case. Just supports the channel, and i appreciate when you guys do that with all that being said: let's go over what's going on in the market, so, first of all, the global crypto market cap is sitting right above two trillion dollars before when we did see some major Liquidations, we did see the global crypto market cap going under the two trillion dollar mark during the time of filming.

This video bitcoin has slipped under 43 000 once again, ethereum is currently at 3, 400 or very close to it on coin market cap. While we have other all coins in the market that seem to be holding steady since we actually got that dip in the market occurrence happening since last night. With that being said, we do still have some all coins that are decoupling at the moment, and that is going to result in seeing decentraland having a 15 pump on the second day while bitcoin is still currently down. We have harmony 1 still up 34.

In the last 7 days, or up 7.32 and you'll notice, there are still a number of other cryptos that have actually gone up in price today. Now, if you are wondering why a crypto like decentraland is actually going up 15 on a day when the market is pretty red, that is because samsung went ahead and entered the metaverse starting their collaboration with decentraland. In this article they say the company is set to open a virtual version of its flagship 837 physical store in the digital world, which is originally located in new york city. A samsung spokesperson also went ahead and said this is one of the largest brand land takeovers in the history of decentraland.

Now it is absolutely amazing just being able to see the amount of volume going into decentraland during the time of filming this video and just noticing the price increase change as well as an investor. If you do miss any pumps like this, i like to look the other direction, because there are always other cryptocurrencies that could line up to do a similar thing. I know the sandbox is also a very, very similar cryptocurrency that was pumping just as hard as decentraland was, although there may be no unique stories at the moment for sand. I do hope for the best and want to cross my fingers that we're gon na see some other major companies partnering up with some of the top crypto uh gaming and metaverse projects, and i do see stan being still viable on that list.

A great buying opportunity opened up for this crypto here when it was going under five dollars sitting at 4.76. And if we look at the growth of the last three months, you'll notice that it hit even higher peaks earlier when we're getting that metaverse craze. Where sandbox still had hit eight dollars and forty cents previously now before we go into the topic of some of the moves that you should be making, because we're kind of stepping in that direction, i wanted to talk about why crypto first went down. Why did bitcoin go down? Did someone say anything? Did someone pull out a tweet? Well, someone did say something and that is going to be the feds.

So the wall street journal came out this article right here saying fed minutes point to possible rate increase in march. Officials also are considering an earlier timetable for shrinking their 8.76 trillion dollar bond portfolio. If you guys have been watching my crypto news updates, especially the one that i released on monday, one of the factors that i said is going to play a pivotal role in what happens to the crypto market is going to be what the central bank decides and Obviously, even with just release like this, where we haven't gotten full publication on when tapering may occur, we are now still seeing an over exaggerated reaction happening in the market. So, just in case you don't understand fully what tapering is here's what you need to know so tapering refers to policies that modify traditional central bank activities.

Tapering efforts are primarily aimed at interest rates and at controlling investor perceptions of the future direction of interest rates. Tapering efforts may include changing the discount rate or reserve requirements. Tapering may also involve the slowing of asset purchases, which is actually what we're going to start experiencing now, which theoretically leads to the reversal of qe or quantitative, easing, also known as helicopter money or any type of stimulus that we've experienced over the past two years. Since the start of this pandemic, they continue to say, policies implemented by a central bank.

Tapering is instituted after qe policies have accomplished the desired effect of stimulating and stabilizing the economy. So if you guys have been paying attention to what we saw in the stock market, where all the prices of many different companies were going up in terms of their stocks, and we saw how much growth was going into the housing market, how many houses are getting Sold out the availability of that uh, it seems like, since the start of this pandemic, a lot of the efforts that the feds made and dropping additional money into the economy started to play out now, although, on the bright side, a lot of us experienced, you know Getting additional stimulus checks, restaurants were saved, we saw ppp, we saw further business loans getting executed. We were able to get free additional resources from the government and help that i would say we really did need at the time, but now that things seem to be simmering down in terms of economic relief and efforts, this is now going to play a pivotal role On what the u.s economy is going to do moving forward into the future, so one of the first things that the feds want to do is to go ahead and end the bond buying program, which is a form of economic stimulus as well scrolling down. If you don't understand how that works, here's what you need to know the bond buying program stimulates the economy by holding down long-term interest rates, encouraging consumers and businesses to borrow and spend in theory doing so should also spur financial markets by driving investors into stocks, corporate Bonds and other assets which include the crypto market, pay attention here, because this is definitely going to be an important part of the video that you want to understand.

They say once the feds stop buying assets, it could keep the holdings steady by reinvesting the proceeds of maturing securities into new ones, which should have an economically neutral effect. Alternatively, the fed could allow its holdings to shrink by allowing bonds to mature or run off, which would be a form of policy tightening. So, just to make this a little bit easier to understand, because we saw all around the board of interest rates going down across traditional investments like bonds. Like those securities, it really discouraged a lot of people to consider those investments as being viable, especially knowing the current inflation rates happening in the world right now.

A lot of that makes people turn over into those alternative assets, including, what's going on in the crypto markets. Now many people are afraid that if the feds go ahead and do increase those inflation rates, we could see a mass correction happening in the market. Now. The good news is nothing has been set in stone.

At this moment. We just have talks that they are thinking about raising inflation, and this is happening a lot sooner than expected, but at the current moment what we were experiencing in the market was this. First of all, if we take a look at bitcoin's moving averages, as you guys know, and how i have mentioned in my last few videos, it has been under the point of what we need so we're taking a look at the 20 day, we're still five thousand Dollars off of what bitcoin is currently at the moment, it is never healthy for an asset to stay below the 20-day moving average and not be able to break out of that territory. As you guys know, many people who invest into crypto will use leverage they'll use money that they don't have, especially when they're trying to aim for those higher risk higher reward trades.

This article on coindesk notes to us that on wednesday we went ahead and saw over 800 million dollars in crypto liquidations over 87 percent of losses which arose from long positions. Taking a look at our resources, we can see that even the last 24 hours since filming this video, we still have 252 million dollars of crypto getting liquidated out of all those. We can actually take a look at which liquidations are happening between what assets. Let's bump this up to the last day, and then we can also go ahead and see what exchanges are liquidating the most as well so taking a look.

Binance is on here with 76 million liquidation, okay x, we have ftx by bit durabit hooboy bitmex. I mean a lot of them across the board uh. You can definitely see that a lot of that is adding up at the moment, with binance still leading the charge uh out of all the liquidations it looks like ethereum was actually hit, uh pretty significantly too. In comparison to many of the other, all coins listed on the market so taking a look at ethereum in comparison to bitcoin ethereum is down in the last 24 hours, just a few more percentage points seeing another 3 300 ethereum.

I personally think, is a steal. I think there's enough liquidity within ethereum's protocols, especially all the nfts that exist in the market, where this crypto right here, ethereum just as simple as this, if you're able to find the bottoms, which i think is close to three thousand dollars, three thousand thirty three hundred Dollars in a normal market, that's opportunity right there and then seeing that bounce up going to thirty, eight hundred or even four thousand dollars. If the market turns a bit more bullish, you don't have to be a genius in the crypto market. A lot of whole numbers.

Actually work out as well, things are rather simple, but you just want to do one thing and that is to keep your emotions in check. Taking a look at the crypto fear and greed index to get an overall state of what the market sentiment is looking like. We're gon na be seeing a lot of fear. You're gon na be seeing extreme fear from your neighbors, your family members, from the news from people in the communities, but you have to keep your head on straight.

This is not the first time that we've seen the market take a dip. This is not going to be the last time we take the market dip, but there's still so much amazing news that is happening every single day, regardless of whatever exaggerations and liquidations we get in the market. I do imagine a future where one day, if we get the feds stating that they may do something in the future or something may happen quicker than anticipated, we're not going to get this type of volatility in the market. This is good because it opens up that opportunity for you, as an investor, to get in on some deals that you may not have been able to enter over the past few weeks.

Last time we've seen ethereum go under 3. 300 was a little while ago. This was uh. This was back in the start of quarter four going into september to october, so you're saving pretty much two three months of what other investors may have been investing into during that time, and that is why i say when the markets get fearful.

This is when you should consider averaging in this is when you should consider buying. If the market takes an additional dip, that's why you always have a little bit more extra ammo sitting on the side, so you can average those up when we get out of these holes, which normally we've seen happen many different times had the market go up. Four thousand dollars: we saw the big big tumble experience in the summer. We've seen much worse than this guys by the way we've seen much worse than this, and this was huge, huge buying opportunities for many investors.

Uh ethereum went back up. Four thousand dollars took another dip. Had another buying opportunity went back up, so it's not all about just holding on to your investment. Sometimes there are swing trades that allow you to get in on those investments.

Now, seeing dips like this, i know can deter a lot of people. It can be scary. Some people may say i just don't like that. I, like the sp y index of stocks.

Instead, i want to chill in that area, but for other people who are chasing these opportunities, this is something very juicy. This is something that a lot of people are gon na like because it's gon na give you an opportunity to make those easy swing trades in the game. Now, regardless of some of the news that we saw in the market did want to share one interesting piece that i found today and that is gon na be the airbnb ceo is considering adding crypto payments in 2022.. The reason why i like statements like this is only because we've seen the effects of what tesla was supposedly gon na do with elon musk, stating that they were gon na accept bitcoin as well before they revoked that earlier last year.

And then we saw the market taking a tumble uh. This is gon na give us an idea of just how many other companies are gon na consider integrating crypto payments in the start of 2022, even with what we just saw as an example with samsung. We cannot ignore the amount of potential we're gon na see with companies that are going to try their best to integrate within the web 3 world. Furthermore, i do want to focus on what you should be doing, some of the mindsets that you should have as an investor, and let me tell you this: it's okay, to get scared, it's okay, to feel sad or to think that you should have sold your investment Earlier on, or maybe two days ago before, the market took a tumble, but if you don't sell or realize your losses or maybe your reduced gains, you haven't lost out on any money unless you desperately need your money.

First of all, which you should not be investing. Anyways, unless you need it short term, a lot of these dips, i just see, is buying opportunities adding to the bag of gains that i've been building over the past few years, and this is still going to be another chance for you to consider always reallocating your Portfolio or making another learning lesson hey if i'm this profitable, maybe i should start taking profits off the table now as an investor. Here's, what my exact strategy is going to look like. First of all, i did make a trade late last night, which i made an alert to within our inner circle, members for the patreon and discord.

If you guys want to be a part of that amazing community that we built up, don't forget to check out the link down below here, just like i'm not going to tell you what crypto was but i'll share with you guys just what i'm thinking in the Market right now, whenever bitcoin takes a three to six percent, dump, we're often going to see all coins doubling that. So that is what you call arbitrage. That's going to be a difference in price between two assets and that's where you can leverage that opportunity as well. So obviously, even since last night we have other cryptos that are in the green that have already found the bottom.

Let's take polygon as an example going to the one day, so it had that dip, let's go into the seven day, had the dip and it looks like the bottom was near two dollars: two dollars: eight cents, two dollars eleven cents, seeing a quick recovery there. So that's easy money still being made on the table for me, i'm looking at a lot of the mid cap cryptocurrencies just because they have that backing. They have that support in case we do end up dropping additional amounts. I think there are some cryptocurrencies that should never go below a certain threshold.

I think it's all dependent too on when upgrades or utility factors or partnerships are arranged. If we talk about the easy example, that's going to be ethereum ethereum 2.0, which a lot of people are anticipating for when this upgrade happens, i can see a lot of layer, one solutions and protocols making that adjustment and getting the correct pricing that they deserve in The market so to wrap this video up here are some of the big learning lessons. Do not panic sell. Do not let your emotions get the best of you invest into the dips you should be buying when the market is greedy, like this, i've been sitting out waiting for an opportunity like this for the last month or two, so that is something i've been expecting for, And that is when i make the move as an investor, and then i either huddle through or consider reallocating my portfolio once the amount of gains or price targets have been met.

A lot of what we're experiencing, especially with the volatility of bitcoin, is nothing new. A lot of this is really to be expected, but the good news is whatever comes down usually goes back up and whenever we see the adoption the innovation like we've been experiencing, i am still very bullish. I'm so glad that we actually came out of the flat kangaroo channel where we were not doing anything and now that we're finally breaking out of the zone either the dips are going to get bought up. The liquidations are going to clear people of over leveraged positions and we can continue to grow on healthier foundation.
