Triggering Events Behind Market Volatility
Recent significant market downturns can be attributed to multiple triggering events, starting with a weak jobs report in the U.S. that revealed only 114,000 jobs added, raising fears of an economic slowdown. This jump in unemployment, exceeding the critical threshold defined by the Som rule, ignited investor panic, suggesting a potential recession. Furthermore, the Bank of Japan's rate hike influenced currency markets and caused disruptions in carry trades, contributing to the downward pressure on various assets, including cryptocurrencies. These factors combined led to widespread market anxiety, prompting a de-leveraging process across trader portfolios.
