Bitcoin and Ethereum saw market sentiment drop as they fell 10% and 18% respectively in two hours on August 5. During this period, over $600 million in leveraged long positions were liquidated, and many altcoins were hit harder than Bitcoin and Ethereum. On the same day, trillions of dollars were wiped from the US stock market. 
The market crash was triggered by weak employment data, slow growth in major <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/technology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">technology</a> stocks, and renewed recession fears. Independent investor Bob Loukas described the last three days as a once-in-7-to-10-year event, noting a loss of over $500 billion in <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/ftx-crypto-exchange-presents-plan-to-reopen-with-third-party-investors/" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto market</a> value. 
Bitcoin analyst Tuur Demeester expressed his belief that Bitcoin would bottom out between $40,000 and $45,000, cautioning against making such bets, stating, “You shouldn’t bet on declines in a Bitcoin <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">bull market</a> because prices can suddenly rise again.” 
Bitcoin, after bottoming out at $48,800 on August 5, rebounded by 11.85% to $55,680 earlier today. According to CoinGecko’s data, this rebound suggests that investor confidence in the market might be reviving.
