Yesterday, the cryptoasset market was down by 17%, and Ethereum has had its worst trading day since 2021. Following the turbulent hours of the first trading day of the week, our research team broke down some of the primary factors driving markets; you can have a look here.

This morning, we saw some signs of recovery after yesterday’s sharp market drop. Here’s what happened where we left off on Monday:

• Japan stocks rallied more than 9% on Tuesday: NIKKEI 225 (+10.23%), TOPIX (+9.30%).

• Crypto and equities: Matching the sentiment, the total crypto market cap increased by 8.8%. Wall Street’s fear gauge VIX has cooled down to 38.57 from yesterday’s soaring 65.

• U.S. economic activity expands: Purchasing managers reported a 51.4% expansion (up from 48.8%) in the services sector last month, which spurred some optimism for a soft landing.

• Futures advance: Nasdaq 100 (+1.5%), STOXX 600 (+0.6%), showing initial signs of recovery after yesterday’s market turbulence.

How did BTC and ETH perform in previous bear markets?

Bitcoin is currently in the Extreme Fear zone, which shows that the asset is undervalued and may be an important investment opportunity . The last time Bitcoin was in this territory, it was trading around $16K following the FTX crash, followed by a historical price rally, reaching multiple all-time highs.
