Bitcoin's rollercoaster week

Bitcoin crashed earlier this week following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, leading a crypto market rout that saw $200 billion wiped off the total market cap of all cryptocurrencies, a drop of over 12% in 24 hours.

The crash was mirrored in the wider financial market, with the US S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dropping 1.8% and 2.6% respectively on the news of the invasion.

The crypto market's recovery similarly seems to have moved in lockstep with global financial markets; the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both rebounded in the last day, with the S&P 500 ending Thursday up around 0.3%, after slipping 2.6% at its low earlier in the day.

The news followed the announcement of sweeping sanctions directed against Russia by the U.S. and EU, precipitating a rebound in equities, and a reversal in prices of safe haven assets such as gold.
