On October 11, the market experienced an epic crash. According to Coinglass data, the total liquidation across the network reached $19.1 billion within 24 hours, with over 1.62 million people liquidated. Both the amount and the number of liquidations set historical records for cryptocurrency contract trading over the past decade. This crash was primarily triggered by the Trump administration's announcement of increased tariffs on China, which was amplified by market liquidity withdrawal and high leverage. Currently, there is a significant divergence in the market between bulls and bears, but regardless, this is not a good time to sell at low prices; it is better to wait until the situation stabilizes. After all, in two weeks, on October 30, the probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut has reached 98%. The winter of the crypto market has not yet arrived, but it is necessary to maintain respect for the market.
Short-term Traders:
Pay close attention to whether BTC can form support and rebound around $111,050. If it can break through $113,290, the short-term rebound momentum may continue; if it falls below $111,050, it may further test $109,560 or even lower. Market volatility will be very intense, suitable for quick in-and-out trades.
Medium to Long-term Investors:
If you are a dollar-cost averaging investor or a coin holder who believes in the long-term value of cryptocurrencies, this crash may provide an opportunity to "buy quality assets at reasonable prices." Consider adopting a staggered investment strategy, prioritizing core assets with solid fundamentals like BTC and ETH.
