The post BTC Selloff on DeepSeek’s AI Is a Buy the Dip Opportunity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Crypto assets saw a panicky decline overnight alongside a Nvidia-led tech stock plunge on DeepSeek’s more efficient artificial intelligence model. With bitcoin (BTC) at one point sliding from a Sunday high of $105,000 to below $98,000 before bouncing back to its current level just below $100,000, some analysts warned this could be the start of an even deeper pullback. Among those taking the other side of that trade is Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank. “Buy the dip,” he said in a Monday morning report. Kendrick one week ago warned of a potential 10%-20% correction thanks to markets having priced in overzealous expectations of Trump’s crypto executive order and strategic reserve. The overnight selloff, he argued, likely took care of much of this. While there might be some more pain ahead this week with U.S. big tech companies reporting earnings this week and the Federal Reserve’s January meeting results Wednesday, Kendrick took note of the rapid decline in U.S. Treasury yields — the 10-year note yield now nearing 4.5% — as signaling much of the downward move is done. Despite there not being much near-term price boost from the Trump administration’s digital asset actions, the benefits should ripple through the sector over the next weeks and months through boosted institutional asset flows. LondonCryptoClub analysts hit a similar note, seeing the crypto selloff as a knee-jerk reaction to a headline event. “The Deepseek FUD [fear, uncertainty, doubt] is a classic shoot first, ask questions later,” LondonCryptoClub analysts said. “Flushes like these amidst a still constructive fundamental macro story that typically mark local lows in a bull trend.” “Be careful today as a broad derisking can be very mechanical and indiscriminate,” they added. “But this is very much a BTFD [buy the **** dip] market still.”…
