Why Wall Street is bracing for a correction in stocks

Wall Street's fear gauge is spiking—and traders are scrambling for cover. A looming stock correction could send shockwaves through traditional markets, but crypto investors see opportunity in the chaos.

The Domino Effect: How Stocks Could Drag Down Risk Assets

When the S&P 500 sneezes, altcoins catch pneumonia. History shows crypto markets often follow equities during major pullbacks—but recover twice as fast.

Hedgies Rotate to Hard Assets

Gold's boring. Bitcoin's volatile. Suddenly that 5% yield on Treasuries looks tempting—until you remember inflation's still running hot at 4.2%.

The Silver Lining Playbook

Smart money's already positioning: BTC options volume hit $1.8B this week as institutions hedge. Meanwhile, retail traders keep chasing shitcoin pumps—some things never change.

Corrections separate the traders from the bagholders. Just don't be the guy who sells at the bottom to 'wait for clarity.'
