The crypto market has suffered a downturn for what is now the fourth consecutive day, despite incredibly positive developments such as the approval of the Spot Ethereum ETFs by the SEC on Thursday. Is this dip going to continue, or is a bounce now overdue?

Correction now over?

For investors and traders new to crypto, it must be difficult to get used to the ups and downs of what is quite a volatile market. However, what they need to know is that this is perfectly normal, and if the market were to go up with hardly any corrections, this would be extremely unhealthy.

The current correction for altcoins has been 8.4%, if this local bottom was indeed the bottom, and that is probably par for the course. To experience a fifth daily red candle in a row hasn’t been seen since October of last year, so the odds are that we may have seen the full extent of this dip.

On the daily chart for Total 3 (Combined market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies, excluding $BTC and $ETH) it can be noted that the price has so far held the $666 billion support level. After a successful breakout of the triangle, and confirmation above , this perhaps looks like what could be the final retest of this level.

USDT Dominance, which could be taken as an inverse to the crypto market cap, looks as if it is being rejected from the 4.5% resistance level. These particular resistance levels were also strongly contested back in 2020, 2021, and 2022, so a rejection here could be quite likely.

Among the individual altcoins, Chainlink $LINK is one of the first to make that bounce. It could be that as the oracle for the ethereum network altcoins, it is taking advantage of the Spot Ethereum ETF approval.

The price is up against resistance at $17.50, and there is good support below at $16.40. There could be some sideways price movement from here, unless of course $BTC decides to surge upwards again , likely taking the altcoin market with it.

Greg Abel has been leading Berkshire Hathaway for less than a year, yet he has already made a bet of over $10.9 billion on the AI sector, marking a complete break from Buffett’s traditional avoidance of tech stocks. However, Alphabet’s stock price has fallen below their initial purchase cost, and Bending Spoons continues to decline, putting this bold AI gamble to the test. At the same time, third-quarter earnings per share are expected to drop 6% year-over-year, and the share repurchase program is likely to plummet from $4.5 billion to $1.6 billion. How to deploy $358 billion in cash will be a major challenge for the new leader’s capital allocation skills.

Has the AI bubble burst? Goldman Sachs: It's more like 1998 than 2000 right now

The Goldman Sachs trading desk stated that the current wave of sell-offs resembles the 1998 liquidity crisis more than the bursting of the 2000 bubble. It is a forced deleveraging rather than a refutation of business fundamentals. The market is drastically repricing construction financing and timeline expectations, rather than underlying demand. Moreover, the issues currently drawing the most attention from the market—electricity and licensing—are actually the least important, as limited supply does not equate to disappearing demand. The real question that needs to be answered is whether long-term revenues can ultimately justify the capital invested.

Tesla Cybertruck: From Cracked Windows to Production Halt, a Three-and-a-Half Year Journey Ends

Since its launch in 2019, Cybertruck has been mired in controversy—ranging from a failed window demonstration on release day, a four-year delay in mass production, and its price rising from $39,900 to more than $100,000, along with a total of 11 recalls. The day before the halt of production was announced, Tesla raised the price once again, bringing a dramatic and intriguing end to the saga of this vehicle.
