Trader Notes: Trader Crypto Seth explained that crypto saw another sharp flush even as U.S. equities stayed strong. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were green, highlighting a clear divergence from crypto markets.

Around 87,700 traders were liquidated, totalling roughly $200 million in forced liquidations, with Bitcoin sliding back to around $87,700.

Crypto trader KillaXBT sees Bitcoin has broken back below $90,000 after repeatedly failing to hold above it.

Since there was no sustained acceptance over this level, the breakdown reinforces a bearish market structure. As long as BTC stays under $90,000, downside risk remains dominant.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
