The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed out Friday\u2019s trading session at 19,000 points, setting a record for the 4th largest single one-month red sell candle in the index\u2019s history. And with Bitcoin<\/a> recently tightly correlated with the stock market, it could make the cryptocurrency especially vulnerable to another crash.<\/p>\n The coronavirus and a coming recession have caused a global, market-wide, panic-induced selloff of all assets. The selloff began with the stock market, but later hit cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, precious metals gold, silver, platinum<\/a>, and more assets.<\/p>\n The Dow Jones Industrial Average was hit among the hardest and has been setting record after record for some of the worst single-day, and one-week losses in the history of the popular United States stock index.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Crisis Impact: Most Assets Returned to 2016 Prices While Bitcoin Holds Strong<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Now, it is the index’s monthly candle may be headed into the history books. This month\u2019s DJI candle is the 4th largest in history, notably beating out the \u201cGreat Recession\u201d of 2008.<\/p>\n The worst selloff ever recorded occurred in 1929. Some iconic market analysts, such as W.D. Gann<\/a> believed that the worst economic cycles arrived every 90 years.<\/p>\n Doing the math, that could suggest the current selloff could reach similar levels as the sharp, nearly decade-long recession that began in 1929. It took nearly 30 years for the stock market to fully recover and go on to set new highs following the historic collapse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second worst selloff ever recorded was during a short, but devastating recession in 1987. The third was in the early 1930s before the economy recovered from the collapse of 1929.<\/p>\n The coronavirus is a black swan event<\/a> that already has done significant damage to the economy, and could potentially do far worse compared to back then.<\/p>\n The continued panic-driven stock market selloff may leave Bitcoin<\/a> vulnerable to yet another massive crash.<\/p>\n It was the stock market selloff reaching a major level that triggered the selloff in cryptocurrencies that recently sent Bitcoin plummeting from $7,500 to a low of $3,800.<\/p>\nDow Jones Industrial Average Sets Record for 4th Worst Month on Record<\/h2>\n
