I saw a saying that the recent drop is due to liquidity issues caused by the U.S. government shutdown. I feel like this is at least a reason we can use to comfort ourselves. After all, nothing is scarier than a sudden crash without any reason. Thinking about it, this has already been the longest shutdown in history, it should end soon, right? But when I checked the betting odds, everyone’s prediction is the end of the month... still so long to go...
