May has brought a massive sell-off to stock and cryptocurrency markets. Worrisome inflation data forced central banks across the globe to start raising interest rates. The prolonged war in Ukraine, Russian sanctions, and US-China tensions were among the incentives to trigger the bear market.
Since late March, Bitcoin fell by 36%, from $48,116 to $29,839, and altcoins followed. Once again, the cryptocurrency market proved to be correlated to equities, especially high-risk, high-reward tech stocks. Nasdaq lost over 20% since hitting 15261 on March 29, dumping to 11686 on May 12. The S&P 500 is -116.9%, and Dow Jones is 11.6% in the same period.
While the bulls bled, short-sellers enjoyed huge profits on assets like MicroStrategy stocks (-85% since November) or NFT-drive ApeCoin, which lost 81.38% from $27 to $5.2 in just two weeks.
SimpleFX margin traders enjoy increasing volatility as market opportunities pop up every day. If you hold cryptocurrencies long-term, reinvesting them in smart short and long positions during a bear market is a great idea.
