Main Takeaway: Global Stocks Getting Rocked
This week has been a nightmare for global stocks, including Europe, China, and the United States. On top of that, the British Pound suffered a once in a decade crash against the Dollar. These negative economic headlines have also impacted crypto. Yesterday, however, in a multiple-point stock market decline, cryptocurrencies held up particularly well (shedding off some of the 1:1 correlation).
The main takeaway is September has lived up to being a bad month for crypto. However, October, which historically performs great, may break precedent due to the overlying macro conditions and jittering geopolitics.
