“Now That the Dust Has Settled, Many Blue-Chip Tokens Have Seen a Strong Rebound”

Nick Forster, Founder of the onchain options platform Derive.xyz, commented that the market experienced “an unprecedented market meltdown” on Friday, resulting in $19 billion in liquidations across the industry.

“The crash was triggered by renewed fears of a U.S.-China trade war, after Donald Trump threatened an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports,” Forster said. “This came on the heels of China announcing new restrictions on rare earth element exports, escalating tensions between the two economies.”

Furthermore, “with order books thinned out, forced liquidations and panic selling had an outsized impact on price, fueling a self-reinforcing cascade of liquidations and accelerating the flash crash.”

Nic Puckrin, crypto analyst and co-founder of The Coin Bureau, stated that “the bloodbath we saw in markets over the weekend is a brutal reminder that, as the crypto market grows and matures, the risks are amplified.”

“The arrival of spot crypto ETFs and institutional interest has lulled investors into a false sense of security, but it remains the only market that trades after hours. In this environment, thin liquidity, overleverage, and the involvement of big players make for a toxic cocktail.”

Ironically, Puckrin noted that “now that the dust has settled, many blue-chip tokens have seen a strong rebound – including Ethereum, which is looking particularly strong back above $4,000. As such, many spot investors find themselves in a similar position to where they were before the flash crash. This is certainly an argument against excessive leverage in a market with fluctuating liquidity in such an uncertain geopolitical climate.”

“The good news is that this has cleaned out the excessive leverage and reset the risk in the market, for now. However, Bitcoin now faces another uphill battle to break past key resistance levels that will allow it to reach a meaningful new all-time high this year,” he concluded.

Levels & Events to Watch Next

At the time of writing on Monday morning, BTC trades at $115,097. On October 10, the coin dropped from $121,561 to $109,883 on October 12. Since then, it has recovered to the current price.

If BTC moves above $117,000, a short-term rally toward $124,000 could follow, and then toward $126,000 to retest previous highs. However, a drop below $108,000 may lead to $103,000 and below $100,000 towards $98,200.
