#MajorStockIndexesPlunge

Global markets are experiencing a full-blown "fault line" rupture today! The earthquake that began on Wall Street yesterday continues today, turning Asian and European terminals red. The picture reflected on screens as of January 21, 2026, is both a major test and a strategic crossroads for investors.
Markets are facing one of the most complex "risk-off" waves in recent years. There are two massive triggers behind this collapse: Donald Trump's threats of tariffs on Greenland and the historic volatility in the Japanese bond market.
Wall Street: The S&P 500 fell 2.1% yesterday, and the Nasdaq fell 2.4%, marking their worst single-day performance since October. The VIX fear index jumped 27%, surpassing the 20 mark.
Asia & Europe: With 40-year Japanese bond yields exceeding 4%, the Nikkei 225 index fell 1.1%. In India, the Sensex index fell by over 1,000 points. In Europe, the DAX and FTSE indices continue their selling trend.
Crypto Market: The bloodbath in stocks has also hit crypto. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below the psychological support of $90,000, falling to the $87,000-$88,000 range. Over $1 billion in liquidations have occurred in the market in the last 24 hours.
This "cleanup" in the market is actually creating a huge accumulation area for those thinking long-term.
Bitcoin (BTC) 🟠: Unable to break the $94,500 resistance, BTC is currently testing its main support zone. If the $87,000 fortress is not broken, the $100,000 target is still on the table. Institutional ETF inflows are expected to react from this level.
Ethereum (ETH) : Fell to $2,950 with a sharp sell-off. However, the deflationary structure of the network and the 2026 upgrades make ETH technically "cheap" at these levels.
SOLana (SOL) : It is one of the "high beta" assets with the fastest recovery potential while the overall market is falling. The moment the sell-off in technology stocks stops, SOL can act as a locomotive.
Safe Haven Demand: Capital fleeing volatility has turned to Gold, pushing the price per ounce to record levels. In crypto, investors are temporarily parking in stablecoins like USDT/USDC and placing buy orders at the bottom.
Investor Strategy: How to Survive This Chaos?
"Discipline is the greatest gain when markets are bleeding."
Avoid Panic Selling: Liquidation data shows that most losses stem from "leveraged" trades. For spot investors, such corrections are an opportunity to rebalance the portfolio. Step-by-Step Buying (DCA): As prices approach key support points (87k for BTC, 2.8k for ETH), making step-by-step purchases with a portion of your cash reserves minimizes your risk.
Correlation Tracking: Currently, crypto is moving hand-in-hand with US technology stocks (Nasdaq). Expecting a full bull turnaround in crypto before giants like Nvidia and Tesla recover could be risky.
Capital Protection: Using stop-loss orders during this period of peak volatility ensures you don't get left out of the game.
