Summary
Why is the crypto market currently under so much pressure?
The crypto market is currently experiencing a turbulent phase. Prices have fallen, and many investors are uncertain. We spoke with financial and investment advisor Zsolt Janos about the reasons and possible future prospects.
The rapid decline in share prices: An overview
Zsolt Janos explains that prices have fallen significantly in recent weeks. Since then 6. October, when the highest prices were recorded, there was a price decline of approximately 30%Given the volume of the crypto market, this is a significant loss in value. The market capitalization has since fallen by approximately... 1,3 trillion dollars removed.
The main factors driving downward pressure
Several factors contribute to this development:
- Deduction of risk capital: Investors are withdrawing funds from Bitcoin, partly due to the need for capital in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
- Liquidity crunch: The consequences of the shutdown in the US have led to a liquidity crunch, which is having a negative impact on risk asset classes.
- Uncertainty regarding interest rate cuts: There are doubts as to whether the American central bank will actually cut interest rates on December 10, which could lead to further liquidity problems.
Political and economic influences
Political and economic news plays a crucial role. The longest shutdown in American history has had many negative repercussions behind the scenes, particularly the drying up of liquidity in the banking and financial sector.
Should beginners invest in Bitcoin now?
Zsolt Janos advises beginners against entering the world of investing with Bitcoin. He quotes Kostolany and his 4 Gs: money, thought, patience, and luck. First, you need money, and enough of it to buy a small part (0,5 to 2%to reserve for Bitcoin. Then you need to think about why you're doing it, patience, and also luck.
Capital required for entry
Financial instruments now exist that allow you to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum in a traditional securities account. This makes getting started considerably easier. Previously, you needed... $ 83.000 (or even) $ 100.000Previously, it was possible to purchase a single Bitcoin; now, smaller shares can also be bought.
Sell or hold on? The right strategy
Anyone wondering whether to sell their Bitcoins likely lacks a clear investment strategy. It's crucial to consider your personal circumstances and when you bought them. Those who purchased years ago at low prices can now relax. However, those who recently bought in at high prices need to consider how they can handle the emotional strain and whether prices will ever return to their original levels.
The financial market in general
A general assessment of the financial market is difficult. There are sectors with strong narratives, such as artificial intelligence and the technology sector, where prices have already risen sharply. Other sectors are undervalued due to a lack of liquidity. However, there is no general overheating of the capital market.
Views 2026
The development of the financial sector in 2026 is uncertain. Key factors will be central bank decisions, politics (especially in the US with the midterm elections), and the evolution of the AI narrative. It is expected to be an exciting and volatile year.
Economic development in Austria
An easing of the economic situation in Austria is only possible with growth on the output side. This requires stimulus from the business sector. The technology sector could offer hope, particularly through increased investment in artificial intelligence.
Stuffing mentality vs. willingness to invest
In Austria and Europe, people invest too little and save too much. This drains liquidity from the capital market. It would be desirable if more people switched from saving to investing and were not misled by speculative bubbles.
Advice for investors with €50.000
Anyone wanting to invest €50.000 shouldn't invest it all at once, but rather start slowly (a maximum of 10-15%). It's important to gain experience and observe how news affects the markets. You should allow yourself one to two years to invest the sum gradually.
The importance of personal responsibility
Investors shouldn't hesitate to think critically and familiarize themselves with the products offered. Anyone who doesn't understand what's being offered shouldn't invest. A good advisor guides the client and fosters informed decision-making.
ETFs: A transparent instrument
ETFs are transparent and fast-acting products. However, whether they are the right solution for a portfolio needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is important to consider the exit strategy from the outset.
Conclusion
The crypto market is currently under pressure, but many factors are influencing this development. A well-thought-out investment strategy and a willingness to engage with the markets are crucial for success. Zsolt Janos emphasizes the importance of not blindly following trends, but rather making informed decisions.
