After an extremely strong rally over the past few months, markets across the board, from American stocks (Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, etc.) to crypto-assets, were dealt serious blows over the past few weeks. The fear is that the spread of this fatal illness, which has a purported fatality rate over 20 times that of the common flu, will cause irreversible damage to economies.

Although some have said that the collapse in the price of Bitcoin is not correlated with the sell-off in other markets, analysts have observed an absence of volume in mainstream crypto markets since the outbreak started. This suggests there is a strong absence of liquidity, increasing the chances of a crash like the one we just saw occurring. Catalyst #2: Bitcoin Miners Are Hoarding Coins Secondly, Bitcoin miners have started to hoard the coins they mine. Charlie Morris, founder of a crypto analytics platform, ByteTree, recently suggested that this trend has historically coincided &#8220;with negative returns and reflects a weaker market bid.&#8221; He explained that when miners hoard, they do so to &#8220;protect the market which is too soft to sell into,&#8221; suggesting these players think Bitcoin has the potential to fall lower than it already has if more selling pressure is introduced. #bitcoin miners have recently started to sell less than they mine.
