Crash or Chance? Navigate the Crypto Dip with DEXTools
The crypto markets have entered stormy waters again — and for traders, that’s when the real action begins. Over the past weeks, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and nearly every top altcoin have faced sharp corrections. But seasoned users of DEXTools know: volatility isn’t a threat, it’s an invitation.
Let’s break down what’s happening in the markets, what it means for your portfolio, and how DEXTools gives you the edge when fear takes over.
What Just Happened in the Markets?
The crypto market just saw a major pullback on April 7th. Here are the highlights:
- Bitcoin dropped below $75K, shedding over 9% in a 24-hour window.
- Ethereum took a steeper hit, crashing 18% to under $1,500.
- Altcoins like SOL, DOGE, and ADA plummeted, many losing more than 20% of their value.
- Over $1.2B in long positions were liquidated in 48 hours.
OM Crash Marks Latest Blow in Ongoing Crypto Market Downturn
- On Sunday, April 13, the OM token—native to the MANTRA ecosystem—suffered a staggering collapse of over 90% during intraday trading. Initially priced at $6.21, the token plummeted in less than an hour to briefly trade below $0.49, despite being regarded as one of this cycle’s top-performing assets.
- The sudden drop has fueled widespread speculation of a potential rug pull, prompting questions about the integrity of the MANTRA team. While the exact cause remains uncertain, the incident has drawn comparisons to the infamous LUNA crash of 2022.
And all this isn’t happening in isolation.
Geopolitical tensions, U.S.-China trade friction, and looming recession fears have driven traditional markets into risk-off mode — and crypto, still tied to broader macro sentiment, is feeling the heat.
But for Web3-native traders and DeFi users, this kind of volatility opens up new windows to trade smarter and accumulate stronger.
