Purely speculation, because I'm not smart enough to find the proof, but I suspect the IMF is actually leading a concerted effort to spike the value of currencies by selling off gold and buying bonds, but they're not succeeding because they have not been able to generate enough sell-off FOMO to truly make the crypto market crash. End result is they are going to cause a US$ crash beyond their ability to control which will lead to a FOMO Buying Frenzy the moment they stop accelerating.

If smarter people can prove/disprove this thought, I'd feel better regardless of the result.
