After reaching a point of extreme greed<\/a>, the crypto market in a flash turned to fear. But investors shouldn’t panic\u2013\u2013according to stock market analysts, the recent crash was normal profit-taking and portfolio rebalancing.<\/p>\n Could that also be the case with crypto, and the market will soon recover after what is a normal and healthy correction?<\/p>\n Across all markets this week, there’s been a massive selloff across the board<\/a>.
