Is a financial crisis really brewing though? The global economy is going quite well at the moment and the current stock market crash is seen by experts as a correction due to the rapid growth in the last year, rather than the start of a recession. The prevalent use of trading bots have been blamed in the crash, similar to the effect of stop losses with crypto exchanges last year.

However if there really is a massive conspiracy then the pattern in the last month sort of makes sense. There has been so much FUD everywhere and no amount of good news has worked to reduce it until the US hearing yesterday when it started turning.
