Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What We Know<\/h2>\n<p>Whenever such crashes occur, the cryptocurrency community rushes to offer different views on the matter, trying to explain what happened and provide some insights on what might follow. The current collapse is no different, as Crypto X is full of various opinions and speculations on the matter, especially since it <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-crash-sparks-largest-liquidation-in-crypto-history-19b-gone-and-counting\/\">became<\/a> the single-largest liquidation event in the digital asset market.<\/p>\n<p>The most talked-about reason is, surprise, surprise, US President Donald Trump. In what felt like a deja vu, the POTUS <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/250m-liquidated-hourly-bitcoin-crashes-below-120k-as-trump-threatens-china\/\">alleged<\/a> China of deception in certain areas and threatened to impose a new set of tariffs on Friday, which triggered the first wave of market-wide declines. He made it official a few hours later, confirming that these tariffs will begin on November 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Kobeissi Letter, though, indicated that markets were \u201cLOOKING\u201d for a good reason to correct, given the massive amount of leverage, especially in crypto.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The blatant reality:<\/p>\n<p>Heading into President Trump\u2019s 100% China tariff announcement, markets were LOOKING for a catalyst to pull back on.<\/p>\n<p>Leverage was through the roof and we had not seen a 2%+ decline in the S&amp;P 500 for 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s post became THE REASON to\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KobeissiLetter\/status\/1976831778527518796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bull Theory <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BullTheoryio\/status\/1976853268027654342?t=NFViylCXTZSMNKfZ6d_xIw&amp;s=19\">alleged<\/a> that one of Bitcoin\u2019s oldest wallets might have known what was about to happen as they opened big short positions on BTC and ETH a day before the announcement and doubled down as events started to unfold. They closed all shorts with a profit of roughly $200 million in just a day.<\/p>\n<p>Bull Theory added that this wasn\u2019t a retail-driven dump, as it has been on some occasions in the past. Instead, they noted that it \u201cfelt structural, as if a fund or a desk was forced to unwind positions all at once.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Naturally, after trying to explain what happened, the next step is to offer a prediction of what\u2019s to come. The majority of the crypto community seemed adamant that this is a proper buy-the-dip moment, as similar crashes are typically followed by large moves in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo yes, the headlines scream Market Crash. But zoom out the structure didn\u2019t break. It just reset.\u00a0The whales already took their entry.

The popular X user believes such collapses are a perfect example of why investors should avoid taking leveraged positions, as they can wipe out years of gains.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they need to focus on building a long-term portfolio by holding only assets that they are bullish on and believe in. This means steer clear of speculative tokens that only chase hype without actual utility.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen everyone is making hilarious amounts of money I am always tempted to start using leverage again. It is almost impossible to fight the feeling that you\u2019re not making enough, or everyone else is outpacing you. Good reminder that fighting that feeling and avoid the wipeouts is worth it in the end. Don\u2019t let a leverage blowup dictate your long-term views.
