Among many things that affect crypto prices, these stand out recently: a. As parts of globe slide into recession, short-term speculators tend to sell. Affects Bitcoin but affects alts more. b. Recessions increase financial risks, causing moves into deeply safe Bitcoin & Monero.

Wouldn’t recession scare off speculative investors from high risk new asset class? And wouldn’t be institutional investors forced to liquidate positions in case of deep recession ?

That's what I said in part (a.): shorter time-horizon holders can need to grow lower-volatility cash reserves or cover margin calls so they sell. Combine with (b.) is why most alt coins have been selling heavily but Bitcoin & a few other trust minimizing coins have lost little.
