Amid a turbulent period in the cryptocurrency market, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently offered advice to stressed investors, suggesting they scale back their positions.
With Bitcoin dipping to a low of $78K and altcoins struggling even more, CZ explained that such downturns are typical in free markets and that traders should adjust their investments accordingly if the market fluctuations become overwhelming.
The ongoing market decline, which has seen Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lose significant value, is being driven by several global factors, including rising trade tensions. This has contributed to a wave of panic selling, with over $950 million in liquidations across the market.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire soon, adding to the market’s volatility, analysts like James Butterfill from CoinShares note that selloff activity may be easing, offering a glimmer of hope for the future.
Despite the rough market conditions, CZ remains optimistic, reminding followers that market dips are inevitable, but temporary. Even as Bitcoin struggles, with its value down 8% and Ethereum falling 10%, there are signs that things may stabilize soon. This, combined with positive inflation data, could help reverse some of the bearish sentiment gripping the market.
