In what should be a bright lining for Bitcoin bulls, popular analytics account BTC fuel identified the equities market-related economic anxiety index, indicating that stocks may have already delivered their drop if history is any guide.

The biggest uncertainty was during the massive capitulation for the six occasions this happened. More crucially, stocks rose in the months that followed, rising by 18% on average after three months, they noted.

The most recent and significant such event in Bitcoin’s history was the March 2020 COVID-19 crash and its aftermath.
