Just as bull markets have narratives, so do bear markets, and the overriding narrative of this year has been regulation. Time and again the media has conflated a lack of regulation in crypto with the failures we’ve seen. It’s easy for people to conclude that as soon as regulation comes to crypto, investors will have confidence and flood back into the market. If that was true you would expect to see the stock market flooded with liquidity, but tech stocks are experiencing similar conditions to crypto. Not only is there

If you’re looking for bottom signals this is the equivalent of everyone FOMOing in at the top.
