The market is sliding, billions are flowing out – yet ironically, the short-sellers are giving up. Historically, this has often been the starting signal for the next recovery.

The past few weeks have been anything but calm for the crypto market. Bitcoin temporarily lost the mark of 100,000 US dollars, Ethereum fell significantly back, and Dogecoin also came under selling pressure. However, while many investors interpret the recent correction as a warning signal, more and more analysts see exactly the opposite in it: the beginning of an exciting breakout phase.

In recent weeks, Bitcoin has significantly retreated. From its record high of around 126,000 USD, the cryptocurrency temporarily plunged below the 100,000 USD mark. The entire market has also lost about 16 percent in value since October. However, a remarkable trend is unfolding on the stock market: shares of major mining companies are at times trading at annual highs – some even recorded triple-digit percentage gains.

When Bitcoin starts to slide, it does not necessarily mean losses for investors – on the contrary: There are several ways to even profit from a price drop. From classic derivatives to short strategies on crypto stocks, opportunities arise that, however, require a clear awareness of the risks involved.

The crypto market is experiencing the most severe downward movement in months, and Bitcoin, in particular, is coming under significant pressure.

November was considered the starting signal for new record highs in the crypto scene. But instead of a rocket launch, disillusionment follows.

The Dresden fintech Aifinyo invests company profits in Bitcoin, thereby making US billionaire Michael Saylor's controversial approach socially acceptable in Germany for the first time. Experts see this as a double risk bet.
