However, if traditional markets experience the kind of average drawdown the historical data implies, risk assets, including <span>bitcoin<\/span> and <span>altcoins<\/span> would be unlikely to escape the fallout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The caveat in Capriole\u2019s framework is the width of the outcome distribution because while the 30% average captures the central tendency, the actual range is wide. On the rare occasions when <span>inflation<\/span> has been sustained above these levels rather than reverting quickly, markets have gone on to experience the most severe crashes in the dataset. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The critical variable is not whether a crash occurs in this environment but how long <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-inflation\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflation<\/a> persists, and whether the Fed moves to cut rates before growth cracks visibly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This macro backdrop sits alongside a more optimistic read from some crypto-specific analysts.
