Deep dives

The Potential Economic Downturn

A significant economic downturn is anticipated, driven by the immense amount of stimulus that has been supporting the market, which is far greater than during the 2008 crisis. The current economic environment suggests that when the downturn does occur, it may be exceptionally harsh due to an absence of buyers and potential selling pressure, particularly in the cryptocurrency market. Despite optimistic movements in major indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, concerns over looming recession signals persist. The possibility of a recession could lead to severe impacts, given the expectation of elevated inflation and other economic indicators moving in the wrong direction.
