<p>Amid growing concerns over a potential U.S. recession, global financial markets experienced a significant downturn on August 5, with cryptocurrency values plummeting alongside traditional stock indices. The Bitcoin price notably decreased by over 12%, falling to $54,000 and breaching July's low, reflecting heightened investor anxiety and increased sell-off activities across risk assets.</p>

<p>During the Asia trading hours on Monday, the Bitcoin price continued its downward trajectory, briefly touching $52,386. This marked a 26% decrease from its peak earlier this year. Ethereum and other altcoins have also been heavily impacted, suffering extensive losses over the week.</p>  
<p>Economist Peter Schiff, known for his critical stance on cryptocurrencies, <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/peter-schiff-labels-bitcoin-etf-investors-as-dumb-money/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">predicted </a>further challenges for Bitcoin ETFs, suggesting a potential 15% drop as markets open, which could lead to significant liquidations. Schiff also specifically warned of a potential "crypto Black Monday," a scenario that appears to be unfolding as markets across the globe experience heightened volatility.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-liquidity-and-market-sentiment">Liquidity and Market Sentiment</h2>  
<p>According to CoinGlass data, approximately $800 million in tokens were liquidated in the last 24 hours of trade, with Ethereum and Bitcoin being the most affected.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>This sell-off matches a larger market trend. Japan's Nikkei index fell by over 20% since its July highs, ushering in a bear market. Similarly, U.S. futures fell dramatically, with Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures down substantially.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>This broad market selloff reflects mounting concerns about a future US recession, influencing investor sentiment worldwide and spreading caution in asset trading.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>The ongoing market crash mirrors past financial crises where assets typically rebound over time. Current economic indicators suggest that the Federal Reserve might intervene, potentially mirroring actions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as implementing significant rate cuts. Such measures could redirect capital flow back to riskier assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies, potentially stabilizing markets.</p>
