The financial markets are mostly tied to central banks actitivities


Historically, the Fed announces its actions 3 to 6 months ahead of time to allow banks and other large investors to reposition their assets. Now, you're seeing deleveraging and de-risking of assets because the Fed has telegraphed the end of asset of purchases in March, imminent interest rate increases by the first quarter, and a reduction of the balance sheet by 1.5 trillion dollars starting late this year. Bond yields have mostly factored in 4 interest rate increases this year.

Added note: Be careful of cryptocurrencies. Some of their exchanges use 1000-to-1 leverage which causes their movements to be more volatile in the past.
