The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 entered into an official correction during Thursday trade.

US stocks have dipped 10% since peaking on January 26, an official correction.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have fared even worse during that same time period.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has had a tough start to the year following news of a regulatory clampdown in South Korea and declining trading volumes.

Bitcoin has not been the only coin to experience a rout worse than the stock market:

Ethereum:
Litecoin:
Bitcoin Cash:

Stocks have been on a slide since January 26. But selling pressure ramped up this week, worsened by technical factors including the implosion of trading strategies that had bet on low volatility.
