If that was part of the cause, and stocks continue to slide over the coming days/weeks like some people think, what does that mean for bitcoin?

I don’t think altcoin fundamentals have changed as much as the price suggests. I think we’ll see further declines next week due to general bearish mood

If stock market slides we'll get to see if crypto is indeed a new asset class.

I also see it as different this time. I am waiting for the 6.300 dollar resistance line or even the 4.500 dollars to buy. On my blog I made a list of the most potential known threats to bitcoin in the coming weeks.
