The 16-day shutdown in 2013 saw Bitcoin increase by approximately 1,014 percent as risk appetite returned later that month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A more recent case, a 35-day stalemate in 2018-2019, saw Bitcoin fall approximately 610%, between $4,014 on December 22, 2018, and approximately $3,607 on January 25, 2019, as part of a larger crypto bear market.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cfg-chart-container\">\n<div class=\"cfg-top-content-holder\">\n<h4 class=\"cfg-chart-title\" style=\"font-family: 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; \">\n            Crypto Fear and Greed Chart        <\/h4>\n<div class=\"cfg-time-range-selector\">\n            <span data-range=\"all_time\" id=\"cfg-alltime\">All time<\/span><br \/>\n            <span data-range=\"1y\" id=\"cfg-1y\">1y<\/span><br \/>\n            <span data-range=\"1m\" id=\"cfg-1m\">1m<\/span><br \/>\n            <span data-range=\"1w\" id=\"cfg-1w\">1w<\/span><br \/>\n            <span data-range=\"1d\" id=\"cfg-1d\">24h<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cfg-chart-holder\">\n<div id=\"cfg-chart-body\" style=\"width: 830px; height: 450px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For now, crypto\u2019s initial reaction appears to be cautiously risk-on, with Bitcoin rising slightly and altcoins sending mixed signals. A lot will depend on how long Washington stays closed and which economic reports are pushed back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traders are especially interested in whether the non-farm payrolls report on Friday and the consumer price index report next week are delayed. Suppose there are any gaps in the data. In that case, the Fed might not have as many signals to guide its policy decisions going into its October meeting, which would make it harder to determine the appropriate course of action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bitcoin support is currently around $115,000 in the short term, and the market will likely react to next week\u2019s macroeconomic calendar if reports are released on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Until then, markets are preparing for a range of ups and downs, and gold\u2019s record-breaking run highlights the cautious approach people are taking toward various assets worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORE:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-meme-coin-icos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/us-shutdown-dents-crypto-markets-will-crypto-recover-what-happened-to-btc-usd-last-shutdown\/\">US Shutdown Dents Crypto Markets: Will Crypto Recover?
