The drop from $35+ started because of the global pandemic and the severe drop in demand on oil. It was then aggravated by a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia which overflowed the supply in the market.
Yesterday the front month for WTI (Western Texas Intermediate) crude dropped to never seen before levels; sub-zero. The negative price occurring only on the May delivery took place as investors were willing to sell at any price or even pay to get their positions off their hands to avoid taking physical delivery of the barrels at contract expiration as storage is running tight in North America.
Pandemic Crash
The pandemic caused all markets to crash due to a liquidity crunch. Since then, the Federal Reserve stepped in with trillions of dollars in stimulus which pushed the markets higher by 30% (S&P500). It seems that the markets have yet to catch up with the reality that unemployment claims are at all-time highs, small business stimulus package has been depleted and the death toll remains on the rise in many countries. The question becomes after this bloody Monday: will this trigger another all-market selloff?
S&P500 and BTC
The event dragged down the S&P500 by over 4% since yesterday and Bitcoin has been following suit with the index’s moves for the past few weeks which pushed BTC’s price to under $7,000.
This correlation while not typical, and certainly goes against the "Safe-Haven" argument, is what occurs during liquidity crunches. During a crash there are two safe havens at different times. First cash as every market participants battles to lay their hands on it and second comes scarce resources/commodities such as Gold and potentially Bitcoin.The latter only comes as an economy is exiting a recession and not in the midst of a crash. Hence, if the oil crash expands to the S&P500 and triggers another selling round, crypto will likely not be immune to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
