S&P 500 Crash Resembles Illiquid Altcoin Crypto Whale Dump

Fears over the possible implications of the coronavirus pandemic have caused the stock market to crash with one of the sharpest one-week declines in the history of the S&P 500, making its chart look like that of an illiquid altcoin.

How does the comparison stack up? And why are investors in the stock market so shaken up that the selloff so closely matches that of a crypto asset with low liquidity altcoin?

Stock Market and Crypto Investors Remain Spooked By the Coronavirus

Panic over the impact the rapidly spreading virus may have on the global economy, ranging from its shutting down of manufacturing facilities to it limiting travel to parts of the world that are particular hotspots for potential infection.

The death toll is rising, and health officials are struggling to prevent the spread of the virus.

The spread has also reached the world of stocks, cryptocurrencies and more.

Financial markets have been a complete and utter bloodbath over the last week, as fears over the coronavirus reaching the point of peak pandemic mounts.

Even the S&P 500, a major barometer of the overall health of the largest companies in the United States has dropped nearly 300 points over the last month.

The steep fall over the last week has caused the otherwise stable stock index to resemble the price chart of an illiquid altcoin, that a random crypto whale decided to dump their holdings on in with massive market sell.

S&P 500 Price Chart Resembles Illiquid Altcoin Dump

In fact, the chart looks very similar to that of an IEO token, Matic, when viewed on different timeframes.

Matic gained notoriety a few months ago when the altcoin experienced a massive pump and dump.

When comparing the two charts, the price action appears to be similar. Given what happened to Matic in the trading sessions following, the dump in the S&P may be far from over.

Despite the stock market sinking across most major indexes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average – another major US stock index – just triggered a TD 9 buy signal on daily timeframes.

Other major stocks and their indexes are also ready to print a perfect TD 9 buy setup on daily timeframes, including Apple, and the S&P 500 itself.

With how sharply these normally reliable assets have fallen, they could very well rebound with surprising strength. However, if the coronavirus isn’t better contained in the days ahead, the S&P 500 could continue to look like an illiquid altcoin price chart due to an increase in panic selling an already overextended stock market.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a global remote work leader with a decade of award-winning content experience and excellence. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
