Bitcoin and Ethereum Bounce Back: Defying the Biggest Market Liquidation Wave in History
Crypto markets just survived their most brutal liquidation storm—and emerged stronger than ever.
The Great Shakeout
Massive leveraged positions got wiped out across exchanges. Billions vanished in minutes as margin calls triggered cascading sell-offs. Yet Bitcoin and Ethereum absorbed the punishment like champions.
Recovery Mode Activated
Both assets rebounded sharply within hours, proving their resilience once again. The bounce-back defied doomsday predictions and left short-sellers scrambling.
Institutional Players Hold Firm
Major holders didn't flinch during the turmoil. Their diamond-handed approach provided crucial stability when weak hands folded.
Another day, another 'black swan' event that somehow makes crypto billionaires richer—while the rest of us just try not to check our portfolios every five minutes.

Ethereum appears to have managed to consolidate above $4100. On the weekly chart, the position has a drawdown of almost 8%:
Most of the other major crypto-assets showed positive dynamics. BNB, XRP, SOL and Doge stand out among them. The gains for them are 15%, 7.3%, 7.5% and 10.1%, respectively.
The Fear and Greed Index, which is an indicator of investor sentiment in the crypto market, ROSE five points in the last 24 hours.
Recall that on the night of October 11, 2025, the sector experienced the largest wave of liquidations in history. Within a day, the volume of losses as a result of forced closing of positions amounted to more than $19 billion.
This was preceded by a collapse caused by macroeconomic factors, in particular, a new round of trade war between the U.S. and China.
According to experts, the subsequent recovery is “mechanical” in nature. This was pointed out in a commentary for The Block by Rick Maeda, a researcher at Presto Research.
According to him, the sell-off occurred against the backdrop of low liquidity over the weekend. The volume of Leveraged contracts has since declined, cascades have stabilized, and overall expectations of additional duties starting November 1, 2025 remain low.
