The recent crypto market crash stunned investors across the globe, but one analyst saw it coming long before it happened. Bitcoin plunged from above $125,000 to briefly below $102,000, and Ethereum dropped to below $3,800, exactly as predicted by popular market commentator Ash Crypto earlier this month. His October 1 post on X warned of a sharp correction meant to liquidate all the bulls before a major rebound in Q4. Now that the dip has played out exactly as he forecasted, Ash Crypto’s outlook for the coming weeks is a powerful rebound phase. Related Reading: A 5% Bitcoin Drop In October? History Shows That’s Rare The Crash Prediction That Shook ‘Uptober’ The sell-off that sent shockwaves through the industry is a quick change in sentiment after Bitcoin’s recent all-time high on October 6. Bitcoin’s decline from above $125,000 to below $110,000 caused widespread panic that flowed into other cryptocurrencies, while Ethereum followed with a sharp drop below $3,800. More than $19 billion in leveraged trades were liquidated across different exchanges in under a day, making it one of the largest wipeouts in crypto history. However, the timing of the crash aligned almost perfectly with a projection on the social media platform X by Ash Crypto. On October 1, Ash Crypto outlined what he called a “pump-then-dump setup” designed to trap overconfident bulls. In his post, he warned that early-month gains would bait retail traders into believing PUMPtober was real before the market reversed violently to shake them out. Notably, the analyst predicted that Bitcoin would dip to around $106,000 and Ethereum to $3,800 or lower before rebounding later in the month. According to him, this correction phase would run until mid-October, sometime around the 15th to 20th of October, before transitioning into a powerful recovery in the last ten days of the month. What Comes Next After The Drop? Ash Crypto’s call has proven accurate, especially against the backdrop of widespread ‘Uptober’ optimism that clouded judgment for many crypto traders. However, despite the predicted bearish move, the prediction post also carried a long-term sentiment that aligns with a bullish Uptober. He explained that once market sentiment turns overwhelmingly bearish and traders begin to assume PUMPtober is canceled, short positions will pile up. It is at this point that a reversal will begin in the final ten days of October, leading to what he described as Q4 parabolic candles.

Following that move, he expects a full-fledged altcoin season that will cause the price of many altcoins to grow 10x to 50x in just a few months.

The crypto market has erased more than $19.5 billion in leveraged positions in the past 24 hours, making it the most chaotic 24-hour period in crypto history. This crash, which saw 1.6 million traders forced out of positions, was caused by sudden US tariff announcements on China and amplified by risky leverage across exchanges. Bitcoin alone witnessed a $20,000 daily swing and erased $380 billion in market capitalization in a single day. This liquidation surpassed all previous records by nearly tenfold, surpassing records set during the FTX collapse and the March 2020 crash. Related Reading: A 5% Bitcoin Drop In October? History Shows That’s Rare Liquidations Ripple Through Entire Crypto Market The most recent crypto market crash took many crypto investors by surprise. Notably, data shared by The Kobeissi Letter on the social media platform X revealed that a total of $19.5 billion was liquidated between October 10 and 11, 2025, over nine times larger than any prior event. To put that into context, the February 2025 liquidation event saw only $2.2 billion erased, while the May 2021 crash cleared $1.2 billion. Data across major exchanges confirmed that the sell-off was heavily one-sided. Out of the $19.38 billion in total liquidations, $16.7 billion came from long positions, which is a 6.7-to-1 ratio compared to shorts. Nearly every exchange, from Binance to Bybit, saw over 90% of liquidations hitting longs, with Hyperliquid alone recording $10.3 billion. Crypto Exchange Liquidations.

Crypto Fear and Greed Index. Source: @KobeissiLetter on X What Caused The Crash? The reason behind the crash can be attributed to a mix of extended market corrections following Bitcoin’s all-time high and rising tensions over new US tariffs on China. According to The Kobeissi Letter, the selloff unfolded through a series of perfectly timed events that tied geopolitical shocks to fragile market sentiment. At 9:40 AM ET, some large Bitcoin holders began selling off mysteriously, more than an hour before former U.S. President Donald Trump posted about a massive China tariff threat at 10:57 AM. Later in the day, at 4:30 PM, a large whale opened multi-million-dollar shorts, seemingly anticipating the coming drop. Just 20 minutes later, Trump officially announced a 100% tariff on China, and this delivered the final blow to bullish sentiment. Timeline Of Events. Source: @KobeissiLetter on X Trump’s tariff post dropped late on a Friday after US markets had closed, but the crypto market was wide open. As such, crypto prices fell into a vacuum as volume spiked, creating the perfect setup for one of the fastest collapses in crypto history. By 5:20 PM, total liquidations had reached $19.5 billion, and the whale closed positions for a $192 million profit. Despite the carnage, The Kobeissi Letter noted that this event was technical rather than fundamental. The crash is a necessary reset that does not have long-term implications. A trade deal between the US and China would put an end to the uncertainty, and according to the team, crypto remains strong. Bitcoin Price Chart.

As an aftermath of the October 10 market crash, where Bitcoin’s price reached levels as low as $101,500, the market is exhibiting a recognizable bearish on-chain structure. While the selling momentum seems to be slowing down, giving a sliver of hope to potential market participants, recent on-chain analysis seems to point towards caution as the more correct sentiment to have in the short term. Realized Profits Climb As High As $2.25 Billion In an October 11 post on social media platform X, technical and on-chain analyst Darkfost revealed that a lot of Bitcoin investors might still be taking profits from their last buys. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buyers Dominate On Binance As CVD Confirmation Nears 0.9, Signaling $130K Target Zone In the post on X, Darkfost cited results obtained from the Net Realized Profit/Loss [USD] 7 Day MA indicator. This metric keeps tabs on the average daily difference between the total amount of realized profits and losses of transactions over the past seven days. For context, realized profits refer to the total amount in USD of Bitcoin sold at prices higher than the levels of purchase, showing that investors are selling in the green. On the other hand, realized losses reflect the total Dollar worth of Bitcoin sold below their cost of purchase. The analyst put it out that the 7-day moving average of the Net Realized Profit/Loss metric recently reached a peak of $2.25 billion, the fourth-highest level seen in the current market cycle. Meanwhile, the metric’s weekly average holds well above $1.6 billion, indicating that profit-taking is still at a high level. Darkfost noted that if the Bitcoin market continues to witness this magnitude of profit-taking, it might be a while before the premier cryptocurrency switches from its current bearish sentiment to a more optimistic one. $99,000-$104,000 May Be The Next Price Support In another post on X, cryptocurrency pundit Ted Pillows pointed out the $99,000-$104,000 region as the next possible support if the Bitcoin price were to keep sliding. According to the analyst’s post on X, this price range has a decent amount of spot bids sitting within it, enough to act as a support zone to keep the Bitcoin price afloat. The next market trajectory thus seems to depend on whether investor profit-taking would remain high. In the scenario where it does, the $99,000-$104,000 price range might be the next zone to keep an eye out for. In an upside scenario, Pillows explained that the $119,000 price level and other zones above hold most of the sell orders currently in the market. As of this writing, Bitcoin is worth approximately $111,772, reflecting an over 1% gain in the past 24 hours.
