This weekend\u2019s action followed an abrupt geopolitical shock. US President Donald Trump\u2019s announcement of sweeping 100% tariffs on China caused the sudden downturn. Bitcoin\u2019s price dropped sharply. The move triggered a cascade of forced selling that liquidated over $19.27 billion in leveraged positions across the crypto ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tariffs_Cause_19_Billion_Wipeout\"\/><b>Tariffs Cause $19 Billion Wipeout<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cause of the crash was simple: geopolitics. President Trump\u2019s tariff threat sharply escalated trade tensions between the US and China. This caused global risk assets, including Bitcoin, to fall. Bitcoin, which recently traded near $112,477, quickly dipped. It hit an intraday low of $102,000 on major futures exchanges.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89757\" style=\"width: 879px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89757\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-89757\" src=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tkn10_2.png\" alt=\"Tariffs Cause $19 Billion Wipeout\" width=\"869\" height=\"1132\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-89757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Trump on Truth Social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This price movement inflicted historic pain on leveraged traders.

Because the majority of this loss stemmed from traders betting on price increases (long positions), their automated liquidation orders pushed the price down further.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The largest liquidation event in crypto history.<\/p>\n<p>In the past 24 hours, 1,618,240 traders were liquidated, with a total liquidation amount of $19.13 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The actual total is likely much higher \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Binance?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">#Binance<\/a> only reports one liquidation order per second.\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tvMCILVgU0\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/tvMCILVgU0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CoinGlass (@coinglass_com) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coinglass_com\/status\/1976796969961193641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">October 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CFGI_Confirms_Market_Terror\"\/><b>CFGI Confirms Market Terror<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speed of the sentiment change is remarkable. The CFGI reading of 27 marks the lowest level the index has recorded in almost six months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For historical context, the Index last showed this level of fear on April 16, but Bitcoin\u2019s price was significantly lower then, trading around $77,000. Therefore, the current combination of a price over $113,000 and an extreme fear reading of 27 indicates a high level of market distress relative to the asset\u2019s current valuation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This contrasts sharply with the market\u2019s recent peak. Earlier this week, the Index recorded a Greed score of 71. That score coincided with Bitcoin\u2019s new all-time high of $125,100. The rapid psychological shift from greed to fear highlights the market\u2019s high sensitivity to unexpected macro news.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Analysts_See_the_%E2%80%98Buy_Signal_Flashing\"\/><b>Analysts See the \u2018Buy\u2019 Signal Flashing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantitative analysts are focusing on the positive implications of this volatility.

It suggests a level of market selling pressure comparable only to the \u2018Yen Carry Trade Unwind\u2019 that occurred earlier in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A contrarian signal implies that market indicators have become so bearish that a reversal is statistically likely.
