🚨 Crypto Apocalypse: 3 Tokens to Flee from (if BTC Implodes) 🚨

by

Oh, the humanity! Bitcoin‘s price, that most mercurial of mistresses, hath tumbled towards the $82,000 mark on that most dreary of days, Sunday, March 30. IntoTheBlock’s omniscient data reveals that those hapless tokens, DOGE, Chainlink, and AVAX, have been bound to BTC‘s price action like a trio of inseparable, yet woebegone, siblings over the last 30 days. Might these poor souls be among the top cryptocurrencies to abandon ship if BTC’s price plunges into the abyss below $80,000? 🤔

Bitcoin Price Takes a Tumble: Trump’s SEC Chair Nominee, the Crypto Killjoy? 😒

Alas, Bitcoin’s (BTC) market sell-off continued its dismal waltz on Saturday, closing the week with three consecutive days of unmitigated losses. 📉

After a promising start to the week, those scoundrel tariffs of Trump’s, coupled with the controversy surrounding the approval of SEC-chair nominee Paul Atkins, sent bearish winds howling across Bitcoin markets, leaving a trail of despair in their wake. 🌪️

Last Thursday, those vigilant members of the US Congress raised a ruckus about “conflict of interests” as Paul Atkins’ confirmation hearing commenced, casting a pall of gloom over the proceedings. 🤷‍♂️

Fears that a less crypto-friendly SEC chair might replace Atkins sent shivers down the spines of investors, accelerating sell-offs across global cryptocurrency markets, as evidenced by Bitcoin’s precipitous 5.7% decline since Friday. 📊

Behold! As seen above, BTC’s price plummeted to the depths of $81,645 on Saturday, before those indefatigable bulls launched a counterattack, reclaiming the $82,500 level at press time. 🐃

However, the rising trading volume bars, accompanying the downward price action over the last three days, suggest that those bulls will require a mighty catalyst to generate sufficient momentum for a major rebound. 🤞

The Unholy Trinity of Crypto Woe: Chainlink, DOGE, and Avalanche 🚫

Bitcoin’s price, that most capricious of creatures, plunged a whopping 5.73% lower than the weekly $87,500 local top recorded on Friday. As prices teetered towards $81,200 on Saturday, bulls stepped in to avert the looming specter of cascading leverage liquidations at the $80,000 psychological support level. 😱

However, BTC traders were not the only ones breathing a sigh of relief as prices rebounded above $82,500. According to the all-seeing IntoTheBlock, DOGE, Chainlink, and AVAX exhibited a high correlation to BTC’s price action in the last 30 days, like a trio of synchronized swimmers. 🤹‍♀️

This peculiar phenomenon reveals that these assets have often moved in lockstep with BTC, like a chorus line of crypto canaries. 🐤

The correlation matrix highlights a strong relationship between Bitcoin (BTC) and Chainlink (LINK), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Avalanche (AVAX) over the past 30 days. Specifically, LINK (0.93), DOGE (0.80), and AVAX (0.79) exhibit high positive correlations with BTC, meaning their price movements largely mirror Bitcoin’s trajectory, for better or for worse. 🤝

If BTC plunges below $80,000, these altcoins could experience intensified sell-offs as traders scramble to hedge against further losses, like rats abandoning a sinking ship. 🚢 Given their historically high correlation, a sustained BTC price downtrend could drag these cryptocurrencies down to sell significantly lower, triggering margin calls and forced liquidations in leveraged positions. 📉

Strategic traders, beware! Consider reducing exposure to these assets or implementing stop-loss orders if BTC continues to struggle for traction, lest ye fall prey to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. 🚨

If Bitcoin fails to reclaim key resistance levels, a broader market downturn could push these correlated altcoins into deeper losses, reinforcing a bearish outlook, and prompting even the most stalwart traders to cry, “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!” 🚪
