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.
