People would sell anything they can in order to get more dollars. Especially if there are fears of the government's doing something about it. Whether it's regulation or increasing costs of other goods. Government can't pay its bills with crypto so they sell it for dollars when they need the money and then everyone else follows. Until they start printing more money, we might not see an increase. Country already trillions in debt and they just raised the debt ceiling. Don't know how long that will last before someone comes along for their money. They taxing us more and more to pay down the debt yet they raise the limit so they can add more debt. I feel like all the markets are correlated whether crypto, stocks, derivatives, whatever.
