Crypto Market Crash Explained: TL;DR

The Fed’s surprise 25 bps rate cut sparked a wild ride—Bitcoin hit resistance around $120 K despite easier money, while the largest long liquidation of 2025 wiped out countless leveraged bets. Correlations with gold broke down, S&P 500 hit all-time highs, and market whipsaws left traders wondering if this is a reset or the start of the next leg up.

Altcoins are feeling the heat: TOTAL2 just got rejected at its previous peak, altcoin-season metrics have dipped, and Ether’s weekly structure is looking shaky. Still, there’s hope: Chainlink’s Commerce Dept. collab, XRP’s 26 % ATH upside, AVAX, new ETF chatter and clarity bills could power a Q4 rally—just watch liquidity and big-player accumulation for clues on what’s next.
