Why EM turmoil hits crypto hard
Bitcoin has been acting like a high-beta risk asset lately, not the digital gold many hoped for. When political instability spikes in places like Argentina, Turkey, or Ukraine, local currencies plunge and capital rushes into dollars. That strengthens the greenback and pressures everything from stocks to crypto. The pattern is playing out again: BTC dropped 3.6% over the past week, and volume is low — a recipe for sharp moves on any big order.

Translate: "Mengapa kekacauan EM memberi kesan besar kepada kripto
Bitcoin baru-baru ini bertindak seperti aset berisiko beta tinggi, bukan emas digital yang diharapkan ramai. Apabila ketidakstabilan politik meningkat di tempat seperti Argentina, Turki, atau Ukraine, mata wang tempatan jatuh dan modal berpusu-pusu ke dolar. Ini mengukuhkan dolar AS dan memberi tekanan kepada segala-galanya dari saham hingga kripto. Corak ini berlaku lagi: BTC turun 3.6% sepanjang minggu lalu, dan volum adalah rendah — resipi untuk pergerakan tajam pada sebarang pesanan besar.

"24h Change" -> "Perubahan 24j" (j for jam)
"7d Change" -> "Perubahan 7h" (h for hari)
"Fear & Greed" -> "Fear & Greed" (keep as is? It's a proper index name. But can translate "Fear" and "Greed" separately? Usually kept as is. But the value "Fear" is a state. We can translate "Fear" to "Ketakutan" but the index name is "Fear & Greed Index". I'll keep "Fear & Greed" as is for the label, but for the span with "Fear", translate to "Ketakutan"? The original has Fear inside the same line. I'll translate that span: "Fear" -> "Ketakutan". Similarly "Sentiment" -> "Sentimen", "slightly bearish" -> "sedikit bearish" (bearish is common in Malay crypto). "Bitcoin (BTC):" -> "Bitcoin (BTC):" keep. "Rank #1" -> "Kedudukan #1".
Next paragraph: "But there's a twist. While global investors dump crypto, citizens in those same unstable regions often buy Bitcoin as a hedge against collapsing fiat. That creates a local bid that can put a floor under prices, even as Western funds pull back. So far, that floor hasn't held — BTC is trading at $73,952, down from recent highs — but the dynamic could shift quickly."
Translate: "Tetapi ada kelainan. Walaupun pelabur global membuang kripto, rakyat di kawasan tidak stabil yang sama sering membeli Bitcoin sebagai lindung nilai terhadap fiat yang runtuh. Ini mewujudkan bidaan tempatan yang boleh meletakkan lantai di bawah harga, walaupun dana Barat menarik diri. Setakat ini, lantai itu tidak bertahan — BTC didagangkan pada $73,952, turun daripada paras tertinggi baru-baru ini — tetapi dinamik boleh berubah dengan cepat."

Paragraph: "BTC dominance is above 57%, meaning capital is already rotating out of altcoins into Bitcoin. That trend usually accelerates during risk-off events. The analysis suggests altcoins could underperform further, with Ethereum possibly dropping 3-5% relative to BTC. For traders, that means Bitcoin might hold up better than the rest, but it's still vulnerable to
