6 Factors Causing The Crypto Panic: 'Seems Like More Reason To Buy Than Sell,' Says Expert

Zinger Key Points
  • Industry expert Jeff Dorman thinks the crypto market's current panic is a buying opportunity, not a sell signal.
  • Kamala Harris's rising poll numbers are weighing down on the markets, according to the expert.

Jeff Dorman, Chief Investment Officer at Arca, analyzed the actors he sees as drivers of the current market crash, suggesting there are more reasons to buy than sell.

What Happened: Dorman lists six factors:

  • Macroeconomic signals
  • Crypto market maker Jump selling
  • ETF flows
  • Kamala Harris‘s rising poll numbers
  • Middle East tensions
  • Supply issues.

He notes that while the macroeconomic signals indicate a short-term sell signal, he believes the long-term outlook is more optimistic. He suggested that Chicago Board Options Exchange’s CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is conditioned to retreat, the Federal Reserve will cut rates in September and it's still an election year, making it a good time to "buy this dip."

Dorman’s analysis provides valuable insights into the current crypto market dynamics. He points out that Kamala Harris's rising popularity in the polls against Trump is bad for crypto, suggesting traders "sell until this reverts.”

Dorman downplayed the impact of Middle East tensions on the long-term crypto market and noted that ETF flows are not a cause for concern, although the front-running of supply still looms.

In conclusion, Dorman argued that there are more reasons to buy than sell in the current market scenario. He noted that Toncoin TON/USD and Ondo Finance ONDO/USD are the only coins he pays attention to that are still positive since the March 13 highs.
