I checked through to one of your links (on the bitcoin selloff). Took a screenshot of one paragraph. Who taught these market analysts English?

Why can't they just write plain language? For instance this could be:

Pressure to sell has brought about the second largest Bitcoin selloff in two years. The forced selling is associated with increased market insecurity. Bitcoin holders are looking for investment positions that limit risk.

I don't know anything about the stock market or investing, but someone ought to talk to people in the industry about toning down the jargon.

Forgive the rant, but listening to market analysts is like listening to someone speaking a foreign language. The terminology is deliberately obscure. Why?
