Market Signal Briefing

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan has strongly defended the decentralized exchange (DEX) amid criticism following last Friday’s massive crypto market crash. Yan emphasized that Hyperliquid’s fully on-chain liquidation system offers complete transparency, setting it apart from centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, which reportedly underreported liquidations by nearly 100 times during the crash.

As major platforms faced severe congestion and downtime, Hyperliquid maintained zero downtime and seamless trading operations. Yan stated that every order, trade, and liquidation on Hyperliquid is recorded directly on-chain, enabling anyone to verify transactions and assess the platform’s solvency in real time. He underscored that transparency and neutrality are essential to building a reliable financial infrastructure, arguing that on-chain DeFi provides unmatched openness compared to centralized models.

In contrast, Yan criticized CEXs for masking the extent of their liquidations during volatile periods. “Even if thousands of liquidation orders occur simultaneously, only one might be reported,” he said, calling such practices misleading and harmful to user trust.

Last Friday’s crash triggered an unprecedented $20 billion in liquidations, with Hyperliquid leading the market at $10.31 billion, followed by Bybit at $4.65 billion and Binance at $2.41 billion. The event has sparked debate over risk management, transparency, and systemic stability across the crypto ecosystem.

Crypto.com’s CEO has since called for global regulatory investigations into both centralized and decentralized exchanges following the crash. In response to criticism, Yan stated, “Solvency and uptime are non-negotiable. It’s unethical to gaslight users to hide systemic flaws.”

As markets rebounded this week, Bitcoin regained the $115,000 level, while Ethereum and altcoins showed strong recovery. Binance also announced $283 million in user compensation for losses caused by last week’s disruptions.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cornish Metals Inc. (AIM/TSXV: CUSN) (“Cornish Metals” or the “Company”), a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its wholly owned and permitted South Crofty tin project in Cornwall, United Kingdom, announces that Matthew Hird (CFO) has exercised 750,000 options over common shares in the Company using the net exercise method.

Using this method, which is permissible under the terms of the Company’s share option plan, as approved by shareholders on June 29, 2023, the Company issues shares equivalent to the value of the net gain, being the difference between the exercise price and the market value on the date of exercise. Accordingly, only 249,626 common shares without par value in the share capital of the Company (the "New Common Shares") have been issued. The New Common Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares and application has been made for the 249,626 Common Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Common Shares will commence at 8:00am on or around October 14, 2025. The New Common Shares will also trade on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Mr. Hird also requested that the Company’s brokers sell the New Common Shares. The New Common Shares were sold at a price of 7.80 pence per share, with settlement due on October 14, 2025. Following these transactions, Mr. Hird’s beneficial interest will remain unchanged with no shareholding in the Company.

Following Admission, Cornish Metals’ Issued and Outstanding share capital will consist of 1,253,751,619 common shares. The Company does not hold any common shares in treasury. Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.

Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and performance share units are as set out in the table below:

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (NASDAQ: CBRL) is set to reward investors on November 12 with a dividend payment, despite experiencing one of the most turbulent years in its recent history.

Notably, the company has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, payable to shareholders of record as of October 17.

The payout remains unchanged from the previous quarter. Therefore, investors holding 1,000 shares will receive $250 in dividend income, equivalent to an annualized rate of $1 per share.

Based on Cracker Barrel’s closing price of $39.34 on October 10, the dividend represents a 2.54% yield. However, the company’s 103.92% payout ratio indicates it is distributing more than it earns, raising concerns about dividend sustainability.

Cracker Barrel turbulent 2025 
The announcement comes amid a turbulent period for the Tennessee-based restaurant chain, which has faced one of its most damaging controversies. 

In August 2025, Cracker Barrel introduced a modernized logo that dropped its longtime “Old Country Store” tagline and the familiar image of a man leaning on a barrel.

The rebrand, intended to attract younger customers, instead sparked a swift social media backlash from critics who accused the company of abandoning its heritage.

At the same time, the backlash intensified after political figures, including President Donald Trump publicly denounced the change and called for a return to the old logo. 

Consequently, Cracker Barrel reversed course within a week, reinstating its original design. Despite the quick reversal, the controversy left a clear mark on the brand’s reputation and performance.

Restaurant traffic fell about 8% in the weeks following the rebrand, with some reports showing year-over-year declines of up to 12% by late September. Cracker Barrel also paused its planned store remodel program as the backlash mounted.

Meanwhile, the firm has since lowered its full-year revenue outlook to between $3.35 billion and $3.45 billion, below analyst estimates.

KEFI Gold and Copper PLC (AIM:KEFI, OTC:KFFLF) said it expects to sign a $240 million debt financing deal for its Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia this week, after resolving a procedural issue with one of its lending partners.

The London-listed miner said the overall plan and timetable for the project remain unchanged.

Construction work is already underway on parts of the $340 million development, which is being launched in stages as equity and debt funding are finalised.

KEFI added that it has sufficient working capital and access to undrawn facilities to cover its needs until the full financing package is completed.

Harry Anagnostaras-Adams, the company’s chairman, said the process for the project’s full launch “continues intensely on all fronts” and remains on schedule for this month and next. He said record gold prices make this “the perfect time to be launching Tulu Kapi.”

The project, which has been years in the making, is one of Ethiopia’s most advanced mining developments and is expected to produce around 140,000 ounces of gold annually once in operation.

KEFI said it would issue a further update when the debt financing is signed.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time.

The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants engaged in tax fraud; (2) Defendants committed bribery to cover up the fact that they committed tax fraud; (3) as a result, defendants understated the legal risk facing the company; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Press Release
Nokia introduces new high-capacity shelves for the 1830 PSS to meet surging bandwidth demand

Nokia’s new high-capacity shelves enable operators to more cost-effectively scale their network to meet surging bandwidth demands while protecting existing investments, improving density by a factor of three, and reducing power per bit by as much as 60%.The new high-capacity shelves can be seamlessly added to existing 1830 PSS deployments and provide enhanced support for the latest generation of high-speed coherent optical engines. 13 October 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the launch of its new carrier-grade 1830 Photonic Service Switch-High Capacity (PSS-hc) shelves, a next-generation addition to the 1830 PSS family, one of the most widely deployed optical transport platforms globally. The new shelves deliver up to three times higher density with up to 60% lower power consumption per bit, enabling service providers to scale their networks more cost-effectively.

The 1830 PSS-hc shelves, which include the PSS-10hc and PSS-4hc, provide a smooth upgrade path for existing 1830 PSS customers, integrating seamlessly into current deployments without disruption. With an efficient design, support for higher power and front-to-back airflow, the shelves provide enhanced support for high density deployment of the latest generations of embedded and coherent optical engines. Providing as much as 12Tb/s per slot, these shelves provide an efficient solution for network operators to deliver high-speed services driven by cloud, AI, video, enterprise, and mobile services.

“Nokia’s 1830 PSS-HC shelves are a natural evolution of the current 1830 family of products that we deploy today and hence we anticipate it to enable us to address the growing capacity demands in the network, leverage high-density embedded and coherent pluggable optical engines whilst retaining our existing operational framework,” said Vivek Gaur, EVP at Colt.

“In the era of AI, operators need to scale bandwidth faster and more cost-effectively than ever. The 1830 PSS-hc shelves represent an important evolution of the 1830 PSS family, combining ultra-high density with greater capacity and the PSS rich set of carrier-grade features. With this evolution operators can rapidly deploy high speed services to keep pace with growing customer demand,” said Ron Johnson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Optical Networks at Nokia.

The Nokia 1830 PSS-HC shelves will be commercially available in Q2-2026, with customer trials starting late 2025.

Bitcoin May Tank to $100K as Friday’s BTC Crash Reinforced 2017–21 Trendline ResistanceBitcoin's recent crash marks the third failure to maintain gains above a critical trendline from 2017 and 2021 highs. Oct 13, 2025, 4:26 a.m.

This is a daily analysis by CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole.

We've probably all heard this phrase: "Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern."

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

The old saying is perfectly applicable to the bitcoin BTC$114,763.67 market, where the crash on Friday marked the third time bulls failed to maintain gains above the critical trendline drawn from the 2017 and 2021 highs, raising the possibility of a deeper drop to $100,000 or lower.

This repeated inability to hold above that level highlights a persistent resistance, suggesting that the trendline is now a key battleground likely defining the limits of the bullish strength in this cycle. CoinDesk highlighted the trendline resistance a month ago, noting that bulls had twice failed to maintain gains above it.

The long wicks on the July, August, and October candles signal bull fatigue above the trendline.

At the same time, the MACD histogram on the monthly chart – although still positive – is lower than it was during the December-January rally when BTC first broke above $100,000, indicating a weakening of upward momentum. MACD, a moving average-based indicator, is widely used to identify trend changes and trend strength.

The daily chart below also paints a bearish picture.

BTC's daily chart. (TradingView)

The sharp reversal from the expanding channel resistance, combined with negative readings in both the standard (12, 26, 9) and longer-term (50, 100, 9) MACD histograms, signals that the path of least resistance is downward.

The longer duration histogram, which uses 50- and 100-day EMAs and a 9-day EMA to smooth the signal, is significantly slower and less sensitive than the default setting, but better suited for filtering out short-term market noise.

Taken together, the monthly and daily charts suggest scope for a drop to sub-$100K levels, marking a test of the lower end of the expanding triangle. On the way lower, the 200-day simple moving average at $107,000 could also offer support.

Bulls will need to engineer a break above $121,800 to invalidate the series of lower highs and overturn the bearish outlook. At press time, BTC changed hands at $114,800, according to CoinDesk data.

The race to launch the first spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has entered a decisive phase even as the crypto market faces steep losses. On October 10, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) received a new set of S-1/A amendment filings for proposed XRP ETFs from 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, Grayscale, and Canary Capital.

21Shares Files CME-Linked XRP ETFThe latest filing from 21Shares outlines a fund designed to track XRP’s price using the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate (XRPUSD_NY), a recognized benchmark used by institutional investors.

The ETF will be organized as a Delaware trust and will hold XRP in cold storage with Coinbase Custody Trust Company. Shares will list on the Cboe BZX Exchange, giving investors exposure to XRP through regular brokerage accounts.

The filing confirms the ETF will be passive, with no use of leverage or derivatives. Authorized Participants will create or redeem shares in exchange for cash or XRP based on the CME benchmark. The document also notes the product carries high risk and lacks FDIC insurance or Investment Company Act protections.

SEC Introduces Faster ETF Listing RulesRecent regulatory updates could speed up ETF approvals. For the first time, the SEC’s new generic ETF listing standards allow exchanges like Nasdaq, Cboe, and NYSE to list spot crypto ETFs without separate case-by-case approval.

Previously, applications often took more than 240 days to process. The new rules could cut that to 60–75 days, a big change for issuers waiting in line.

Crypto analyst Diana said that 21Shares and Canary have revised their filings to meet updated standards. Changes include:

Clearer custody and redemption procedures
Stronger surveillance-sharing agreements
Full alignment with SEC feedback
“These updates are the kind of cleanup you do right before launch,” she wrote on X.

Launch Could Come in Early 2026

If the SEC stays on its current track, XRP ETFs could debut soon. The first issuer to meet the criteria will move ahead under the new fast-track process.

The next steps include:

Acknowledgment letters confirming receipt
Exchange listing notices under new rules
Effective S-1 status
Any conditional approvals that may follow
Uncertainty remains. The SEC could still delay decisions, especially given political tensions and the recent government shutdown.

BNB price staged an impressive comeback on Monday, Oct. 13, rebounding 16% in the past 24 hours to trade around $1,309 at press time.

Summary

BNB price surged 16% to $1,309, leading recovery after the Oct. 10 market crash.
CZ refuted claims of Binance or affiliates supporting the token.
Rising spot and futures volumes suggest growing trader confidence.

The recovery follows one of the market’s sharpest flash crashes in recent history, during which the total crypto market cap fell by more than $500 billion in a single day. Despite that drop, BNB has held up better than most top altcoins, now up 11% over the past week and 41% in the past month.

With confidence restored, trading activity has surged. BNB’s (BNB) 24-hour spot volume increased 50.2% to $8.94 billion. Similar momentum was seen in the derivatives markets. CoinGlass data shows that open interest increased 29.8% to $2.42 billion and futures volume rose 98.5% to $11.63 billion.

The jump in open interest alongside volume suggests traders are re-entering positions rather than simply exiting short-term bets, a bullish sign that the market is regaining confidence.

CZ addresses BNB price rebound amid speculation
As speculation swirled about potential intervention behind BNB’s rapid recovery, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao clarified on X that neither he nor any affiliated entities had participated in recent trading activity.

“Many projects have a market maker. BNB doesn’t,” CZ wrote. “I am not aware of any of my affiliated entities buying or selling BNB in the past days or weeks.”

He emphasized that BNB’s strength comes from its builders, community, and deflationary tokenomics rather than artificial support. CZ’s statement followed rumors that Binance might have stepped in to stabilize the market following the Oct. 10 crash, which erased nearly $19 billion in leveraged positions.

Analysts and traders praised BNB for its resilience in the wake of the incident, with one analyst calling it a “flight-to-safety” token. BNB’s decline was only about 10% before it quickly recovered, compared to other popular altcoins that saw drops of 15% to 50%. 

BNB price technical analysis
Following the weekend crash, BNB’s chart displays a strong V-shaped recovery, and the token is currently trading well above its mid-Bollinger Band support at $1,124. There is still potential for an upward push, as indicated by the relative strength index at 65, which shows increasing bullish momentum but not yet overbought conditions.

BNB daily chart. Credit: crypto.news
BNB may retest its upper Bollinger Band around $1,370, which also acts as immediate resistance, if buying pressure is sustained. Its wider uptrend, which started in late August, might continue if there is a breakout above this level, which would open the path toward $1,450–$1,500. 

On the downside, key support lies between $1,100 and $1,150, where bulls are likely to defend against another correction.

After the Friday crash, which saw one of the biggest liquidations in history, the crypto market has staged a strong recovery with Bitcoin price reclaiming $115,000 as of press time. Altcoins led by Ethereum have staged a strong recovery, gaining 10-20% each. ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, and DOGE are all up as market experts, like Raoul Pal, predict a V-Shape recovery.

Crypto Market Will See V-Shaped Rebound, Says Raoul Pal
Macro investor and Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal described Friday’s market turmoil as a “Flash Crash.” He noted that such events typically recover quickly in a V-shaped rebound. Funding rates in the crypto market crashed to their lowest since the 2022 bear market, marking one of the most severe leverage resets in crypto history.

Pal stated that the sell-off is characteristic of prior flash crashes that soon reclaimed their previous price ranges and often went on to make new highs. “In this case, we entirely wiped out all accumulated leverage too,” Pal said, adding that the next move for the market is likely “higher.”

One common underlying message that most experts have for retail investors is avoiding excessive leverage and greed. Experts have been advising to take learnings from the crypto market crash and build on spot positions instead of leveraged ones.

In his message on the X platform, Pillows noted: “Coinbase Bitcoin premium is going up. Some heavy institutional buying is happening now”.

On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has also softened his stand, fueling a rebound across financial markets, including the crypto market. Analysts noted that the shift in rhetoric comes at a crucial time for traders. This will restore confidence and spark renewed buying interest across risk assets. In his message on Truth Social, Donald Trump wrote:

“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! “

Bitcoin Leads Crypto Market Recovery, Altcoins Rally
Bitcoin price has bounced back above $115,000 levels again, as of press time, with daily trading volumes over $91 billion. Amid this market turmoil, Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor hinted at buying the BTC dips with his message “Don’t stop Believing”.

On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) is leading the altcoin market recovery with 10% and shooting past $4,100. XRP was among the first major altcoins to rebound following the recent market crash, with more than $30 billion flowing back into the asset, according to Cryptos Rus. The quick recovery signals that traders view the downturn as temporary rather than structural.

BNB price has surged the most with 15% upside in the last 24 hours, and regained $1,300 once again. Analysts see Binance coin rally continuing to reach fresh all-time highs.

After months of quiet trading, Dash (DASH) has made a powerful comeback. The digital currency surged from around $20 in late September to over $56 this week, marking its highest level since December 2024.

This recovery comes even as the broader market remains choppy — with Bitcoin hovering near $122,500 and the total crypto market capitalization around $4.23 trillion, down roughly 1% week-over-week.

The rally has renewed attention on Dash’s fundamentals and its unique place in the payments-focused corner of the crypto market.

Built on a Strong FoundationLaunched in 2014 by developer Evan Duffield, Dash — originally short for “Digital Cash” — was designed for fast, low-cost, and private payments. The network uses a hybrid model of Proof-of-Work mining and masternodes, which enable advanced features like:

InstantSend, for near-instant transactions, andPrivateSend, for optional transaction privacy.Dash’s block reward structure helps sustain its ecosystem:

45% to miners,45% to masternodes, and10% to the Dash DAO treasury.This self-funding model has kept Dash’s development continuous, even during quieter market cycles, reinforcing its position as a long-term, community-governed project.

Technical Breakout Confirms Bullish MomentumAccording to market data, Dash recently broke out of a five-year descending wedge pattern, signaling a potential shift toward a broader uptrend.

After consolidating between $17.70 and $26.25, Dash entered the markup phase described in Wyckoff’s Market Cycle Theory. It now trades well above its 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and has reached the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, technical signs that bulls are firmly in control.

Analysts note that a short-term pullback toward $35 is possible to confirm support, but the medium-term structure remains bullish, with $70 as the next key resistance.

DASH Pay Adoption and Renewed Network InterestPart of Dash’s resurgence can be linked to renewed enthusiasm around DASH Pay, the network’s payment ecosystem that emphasizes usability and speed.

Year-to-date, Dash is up nearly 96%, including an 80% surge in the past month. Traders who held through the summer accumulation phase are now realizing significant returns.

Community sentiment has also improved as masternode activity remains steady, indicating long-term network confidence and continued governance participation.

Comparison: Dash vs. Other Payment CryptosWhile projects like Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) continue to dominate payment-layer discussions, Dash’s governance structure and privacy options give it distinct advantages.

Unlike many newer projects, Dash maintains a fully decentralized treasury, which funds ongoing development and community initiatives without reliance on external investors — a key factor in its long-term sustainability.

What’s Next for Dash in 2025?With its latest breakout, analysts are watching for catalysts that could sustain Dash’s momentum into 2025

Integration with major payment processors or merchant platforms,Upgrades to the Dash Platform that enhance user experience, andRenewed exchange listings as liquidity returns to older projects.Some technical analysts forecast a potential range of $70–$100 if bullish momentum continues, though they caution that long-term upside depends on network growth and real-world adoption.

Dash remains a respected project with a strong technical foundation and governance model. While volatility persists, it continues to attract investors seeking utility-driven cryptocurrencies.

What is the Dash price prediction for 2025?

Analysts currently forecast potential targets between $70 and $100, assuming broader market strength and increased adoption of Dash payments.

How does the Dash DAO work?

The Dash DAO allocates 10% of each block reward to a treasury system that funds development, marketing, and community proposals — voted on by masternode operators.

A trader who attracted attention for successfully shorting Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) just before the recent crash added to their position even as the market rebounded on Sunday.

Investor Doubles Down On Bearish PositionThe investor opened the position at $117,369 and was sitting on an unrealized profit of $3.70 million as of this writing, according to decentralized perpetual exchange Hyperliquid. The trader took a 10x leverage bet to boost the position's value to over $163 million.

If Bitcoin reaches $123,510, which is 7.59% away from its current price, the trader will be liquidated.

Interestingly, the bet was taken despite the market’s sharp rebound, with Bitcoin regaining $115,000 on Sunday.

Signs Of Insider Trading?The whale grabbed headlines after opening multi-million dollar short positions on BTC and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) right before President Donald Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on China.

The cryptocurrency market tumbled in response and the trader subsequently closed most of their short positions, netting a profit of $160 million.

Reacting to the development, capital markets commentator The Kobeissi Letter said, "Did Someone Know?"

This is not the first time that suspicions of insider trading have been raised in relation to Trump’s posts.

Earlier in March, a trader opened a 50x leveraged bet on Bitcoin and Ethereum shortly before Trump announced a cryptocurrency reserve, turning an investment of $4 million into a $200 million position.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $114,716.93, up 2.59% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The 'Uptober' sentiment might have been dented but 'perhaps not derailed,' said one analyst, with BTC and ETH rebounding.

“ETF inflows remain strong, exchange balances near cycle lows, and the broader narrative is arguably stronger after the washout,” one analyst said.Updated Oct 13, 2025, 6:03 a.m. Published Oct 13, 2025, 5:50 a.m.

Bitcoin BTC$114,864.70 traders are catching their breath after one of the wildest weekends in the asset’s history.

The flash crash that happened late Friday following Trump’s 100% tariff announcement on Chinese imports wiped nearly $19 billion in crypto positions — the largest single-day liquidation on record.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

But some 48 hours later, the market looks steadier, with a bounce taking shape as both Washington and Beijing moved to cool tensions.

Alternative cryptocurrencies such as ADA$0.7007 and DOGE$0.2075 are leading the bounce. Both SDA aand DOGE have gained nearly 10% in 24 hours as discounted valuations enticed bargain hunters.

Bitcoin BTC$114,864.70 climbed 2.7% over the past 24 hours to about $114,665, while ether ETH$3,818.39 surged 8.3% to $4,135. BNB gained 13.9%, a reminder that liquidity is flowing back toward ecosystem tokens. XRP rose 7.4%, Solana SOL$194.03 added 7.2%.

The market’s message is clear: the broader bullish trend hasn’t broken, but the volatility has reset sentiment.

“What we just saw was a massive emotional reset,” said Justin d’Anethan, head of partnerships at Arctic Digital.

“Volatility cuts both ways — traders were punished on the way down and on the snap back. But the longer-term structure is intact. ETF inflows remain strong, exchange balances near cycle lows, and the broader narrative is arguably stronger after the washout,” he added.

That washout was no small thing. Over 6,300 wallets were liquidated on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid alone, with some traders losing millions in a cascade triggered by Auto-Deleveraging — a circuit-breaker that closes winning positions to cover systemic losses when insurance funds run dry.

It stopped bad debt, but it also magnified the fall, turning the correction into a structural event.

U.S.-China tensions easeThe rebound began over the weekend when China’s Ministry of Commerce clarified that rare-earth export controls wouldn’t be a blanket ban, while Trump himself posted that “the U.S.A wants to help China, not hurt it.”

Markets took that as a sign the trade war rhetoric was cooling, and risk assets bounced accordingly.

At this stage, crypto is moving in step with macro again. “If the U.S.–China spat doesn’t escalate into a full-on trade war, the market is likely to recover and push back toward all-time highs,” said Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, in a note to CoinDesk.

The path ahead will hinge on rates and risk appetite. If central banks lean into easing, traders expect ETH and yield-generating tokens to outperform. Funding rates, options skew, and whale flows will show where fresh capital rotates next.

The setup is volatile, but the conviction remains. I’d say the shakeout burned leverage, not belief.

Arkham data shows bitcoin miner Marathon bought 150 BTC through its custodian Anchorage Digital as prices plunged, with fresh FalconX inflows hinting at continued institutional accumulation.
Oct 13, 2025, 5:55 a.m.

Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) appears to have taken advantage of Friday's market turmoil to load up on bitcoin BTC$114,729.41, according to data curated by Arkham Intelligence.

Marathon Digital Holdings, which holds about 52,850 BTC (worth roughly $6.06 billion), purchased an additional 400 BTC valued at about $45.9 million through FalconX early Monday, according to Arkham Intelligence data tracked by blockchain sleuth Lookonchain.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

MARA's move suggests that corporates and miners are once again accumulating BTC into volatility, similar to the patterns seen in prior market resets. The miner produced 218 blocks in September, a 5% increase over August, as global hashrate grew 9% month-over-month to an average of 1,031 EH/s.

CoinDesk reached out to MARA for official confirmation.

Bitcoin plunged nearly 13% within an hour on Friday after renewed U.S.–China tariff threats sparked a global risk-off wave, wiping out about $65 billion in open interest, although some market stakeholders suggest the real culprit in the crash was Binance, with internal errors causing assets to de-peg.

At the time of writing, bitcoin traded near $114,800, up about 3% in the past 24 hours as trade-war tensions ease between Washington and Beijing.

BTC’s failure to sustain gains above the long-term resistance trendline from the 2017 and 2021 highs could open the door to a retest of $100,000, according to CoinDesk analysts.

Dogecoin Zooms 11% as DOGE Buying Volumes Quadruples

20 minutes ago

The pattern shows an ascending trendline with constructive momentum; MACD and RSI signals remain bullish.

What to know:

Dogecoin surged 11% in 24 hours, driven by institutional inflows and increased trading volume.

Traders are monitoring if Dogecoin can maintain a close above $0.22 to target further gains.

The rally coincided with a broader recovery in meme-coins and increased professional market activity.

Read full story

The Bitcoin price was gradually coiling up, eyeing $130,000, and forming consecutive higher highs and lows. The rally paused when US President Donald Trump reignited trade tensions with China by imposing 100% tariffs on select goods. This triggered a sharp market sell-off, leading to over $20 billion in liquidations within hours. Now that the President has signaled a willingness to negotiate, the BTC price is witnessing a measured recovery.

Institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to grow, with Trump’s own company reportedly accumulating BTC alongside giants like MicroStrategy and MetaPlanet. Since then, Bitcoin’s price action has steadied, avoiding another single-day crash. As US political and economic dynamics evolve, Bitcoin appears closely tethered to these shifts—leaving investors to wonder: Is it time to trust the recovery and invest in Bitcoin now?

Behind the Crash: What Really Triggered Bitcoin’s Sudden Fall?While the US–China tariff tension served as the official spark, several on-chain and trading patterns suggest that the recent Bitcoin and crypto market crash may have had deeper roots. Analysts point to a series of suspicious moves that indicate the sell-off could have been strategically orchestrated rather than purely reactionary.

Whale Activity Before the Drop: Blockchain trackers flagged a Satoshi-era wallet that reportedly opened a $1.1 billion short position hours before the tariff announcement. This timing has fueled strong speculation that some large players anticipated the news in advance.Exchange Mechanics & Forced Liquidations: The crash triggered over $20 billion in liquidations, exposing the vulnerability of highly leveraged traders. Some suggest exchanges may have let liquidation cascades run deep to flush overleveraged positions.Insider-Like Trading Patterns: The simultaneous surge in short open interest across major derivatives platforms points toward coordinated market positioning—a move more typical of insiders than retail participants.Despite the theories, none of these claims are proven. Yet, they highlight a critical reality—Bitcoin’s price remains heavily influenced by powerful hands and centralized liquidity flows, not just global headlines. 

Can Bitcoin (BTC) Price Sustain Recovery Toward $130K?The crypto markets faced one of the largest liquidations last week, which has changed the trade dynamics for the BTC price for a while. The token quickly dropped heavily, breaking the critical support zone between $119,850 and $120,600. The ascending support did its job well and prevented the price from excessively bearish action. However, it would be interesting to witness how the recovery will unfold hereafter, as the bullish action remains a little vague at the moment. 

As seen in the above chart, the BTC price remains within a bullish trajectory regardless of the recent market crash. The price is trading between the 50-day & the 200-day MA which has been acting as the interim resistance & support level. Although the RSI has triggered a rebound, it quickly displayed a bearish divergence before rising beyond the average range. This suggests the indecisiveness among the bulls, which may further compel the price to drop back to the local support. 

Wrapping it Up!No doubt the Bitcoin bulls prevented the price from plunging below the psychological barrier at $100K, but the recovery has also been challenged by the bears. Since August, the price has been struggling to hold strongly above $117,000 which has now become one of the important zones to secure. Moreover, the latest rise above this zone also resulted in a market crash which brings us to the conclusion that the investors need to watch out closely before investing in Bitcoin at the moment.
