The Recent Crypto Crash 5

What happened?

In early October 2025 the crypto market experienced one of its most severe downturns ever and its one of if not the most biggest crypto crash: plutustradebase.com

  • Over $19.5 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated within 24 hours. TradingView+2Reuters+2
  • Major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum dropped sharply Bitcoin fell below ~$105,000 and Ethereum dipped around ~$3,760. The Economic Times+2The Economic Times+2
  • The crash was triggered by multiple simultaneous stresses: heavy liquidations, macroeconomic alarms, regulatory uncertainty, and imbalance in market structure.

Key Drivers Behind the Crash

1. Massive leveraged positions

Traders had built up large leveraged bets. When even small triggers hit, forced liquidations cascaded across the market. The size of the move in October was “nine times larger than the February 2025 crash” according to one source. Reuters+1

2. Long-Term Holder (LTH) selling

Data shows that long-term holders of Bitcoin began selling more aggressively reducing one major support pillar.

3. Macroeconomic/Regulatory Pressure

  • Fears of inflation shocks or central bank rate changes increase risk off mode, hurting crypto.
  • Anticipation of institutional flows (e.g., into ETFs) may have encouraged pre-emptive selling. InvestX

4. Liquidity and market structure breakdown

During the crash, liquidity vanished in many tokens, causing sharper moves and greater slippage. Citation Needed

What this means for traders & investors

  • Risk is elevated. The extreme nature of the crash shows how fragile even large gains can be.
  • Volatility remains high. Short-term traders have to be prepared for sudden turns.
  • Market behaviour matters more than fundamentals in crisis moments. Even solid projects can get dragged down by structural shocks.
  • Entry points now require extra caution. With prices falling hard, potential bounce opportunities are there but so are traps.
  • Long‐term strategies should emphasise resilience. Managing drawdown, not just upside, becomes essential in environments like this.

What to watch next

Here are key signals that could shape where crypto goes next:

  • How the major coins behave around previous support zones.
  • Whether long-term holders begin accumulating again (a sign of renewed conviction).
  • Macro data (inflation, interest rates, central bank speeches) that might influence risk assets.
  • Market liquidity and whether large exchanges or large holders are stabilising or withdrawing.
  • Regulatory announcements or ETF developments which might shift flows and sentiment.

Final Thoughts

The recent crash in the crypto market is more than just another dip it highlights how deeply interconnected leverage, macroeconomics, holder behavior and market structure are in this asset class. Traders who understand the mechanics of risk and prepare for structural shifts rather than only chasing price moves will be better positioned going forward.
