Markets 🤑

What to know: 🤔

  • The U.S. government is about to pull a “lights out” at midnight, leaving crypto regulators in the dark and markets in a tizzy! 🌚💸
  • Bitcoin did a little dance, rebounding from its worst levels, while most tokens in the CoinDesk 20 Index took a nosedive. 💃🤕
  • Bitfinex analysts are waving red flags: a shutdown could delay economic data, shake investor confidence, and leave BTC vulnerable to market shenanigans! 🚩🤪

The crypto bounce fizzled out faster than a flat soda on Tuesday, with the U.S. government ready to hit the snooze button at midnight Eastern time. ⏰😴

Bitcoin-after slipping 2% from its overnight high of nearly $115,000-managed a late rally to $114,300, barely clinging to its gains. Ethereum traded just above $4,100, sliding 1.3% like it’s on a banana peel. 🍌💨

Most tokens in the CoinDesk 20 Index took a hit, with Uniswap (UNI) and others leading the cry-pto party. 😭🎉

Meanwhile, in traditional markets, gold kept its glitter, climbing 0.5% to $3,850, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 did a last-minute rally to end in the green. 🌟💰

Everyone’s in “wait-and-see” mode, watching the U.S. government drama unfold like a bad soap opera. 🍿🤡

When the government shuts down, it’s like a bad breakup-all non-essential activities stop, including the SEC, CFTC, and bank regulators’ crypto rule-making efforts. 💔📝

Sure, you can still file comments, but good luck getting anyone to read them! This could also stall ETF listings for crypto, because why not add more chaos? 🤷♂️💣

Congress’ crypto legislation? Delayed. Senate hearings? Postponed. The only thing moving forward is the Senate Finance Committee’s hearing on crypto taxes-because Uncle Sam always wants his cut! 💸🤦♂️

Shutdown leaves BTC fragile, Bitfinex warns 🛑

A shutdown means no jobs data, no CPI reports-just a big ol’ data blackout that could make markets more volatile than a Mel Brooks comedy! 🎭💥

Bitfinex analysts say this could mess with the Fed’s decisions, and global investors might just say “peace out” to U.S. exposure. ✌️🇺🇸

“For markets, it’s like walking through a dark room with no flashlight-confidence erosion and data blind spots galore!” Bitfinex quipped. 🕳️🔦

Zooming out, BTC is still in a “corrective phase” since the Fed’s rate cut, which turned into a classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” fiasco. 📉📰

This cycle’s been a three-act drama, with each surge ending in profit-taking extravaganzas. 🎭💸

“At every peak, over 90% of coins were sold in profit-it’s like everyone got the memo to cash out!” the analysts joked. 📢💰

Now, with the third peak behind us, Bitfinex sees more consolidation on the horizon. “Deep political polarization, rising deficits, and a fragile global economy? Yeah, markets are on edge!” 🌍⚖️
