Uptober Chaos: Crypto Crashes, Bulls, and Banana Rallies

by

Picture this: October’s meant to be Uptober, but the crypto party is wobbling like a tightrope walker in a cardigan. The total market cap slipped 4.5%, about $200 billion ghosted the scene since the all‑time high of $4.4 trillion on October 7. Altseason hasn’t shown up to the party yet, and Bitcoin and Ether are sulking at 4% and 12% down from their peaks. It’s like watching a soap opera where someone’s forgotten their lines and the sound guy won’t turn the mic on. 😅💸

But it’s supposed to be ‘Uptober’!

Markets are dumping to “liquidate all the bulls and mainly the retail,” because leveraged longs always get flushed before the markets pump, said analyst Ash Crypto on Thursday. They predicted that the rally will resume between October 15 and 20 with a “massive pump” at the end of the month. It’s giving dramatic tension, darling, with a side of financial fate. 🧊💸

Uptober Still On Track

“They want you to be bearish and believe that ‘Pumptober’ is canceled,” the analyst added. “However, when the market is in complete fear, we will see a massive bounce and the parabolic Q4 pump will start end of October.”

The analyst made a wild prediction for the “parabolic banana rally,” which will send Bitcoin between $150,000 and $180,000 and Ether toward $12,000. 🍌🚀

Meanwhile, analyst ‘Sykodelic’ said, “I still don’t understand how anyone can be calling the Bitcoin top here.”

The analyst shared a well-documented prediction that Bitcoin will follow gold’s all-time high, as they rarely surge together and gold usually leads.

“Regardless as to whether it keeps moving or not, it’s about time for a [gold] cool off and BTC to have another go.”

“The current market dump isn’t random,” reported ‘Bull Theory.’

Precious metal rallies signal economic weakness ahead. With the US government shutdown and inflation expectations at three-year highs, investors are opting for safety, it noted.

THE CURRENT MARKET DUMP ISN’T RANDOM.

Here’s what’s actually happening behind the charts

Gold & Silver → both hitting new all-time highs.

• Gold’s total market value just crossed $27T, adding nearly $6T in a few months.

• Silver now sits near $2.7T.

When large…

Swissblock reported that the “Bitcoin-Altcoin Cycle” shows the market still anchored to BTC dominance and is “now approaching the full Bitcoin season zone where capital seeks safety and structure inside Bitcoin.”

Rate Cuts to Fuel Seasonal Bullishness

Uptober has got its name because Bitcoin has made gains in ten of the past twelve months of October. The asset has also risen in eight of the past twelve fourth quarters, so historically, this is a bullish time of year for crypto markets.

Further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could fuel crypto markets this quarter. Two more rate cuts are predicted this year, with 94.6% odds on an October cut and 81.5% odds on another one in December, according to CME futures markets.

Despite this week’s decline, BTC is still up 6.4% so far this month. The asset was trading down marginally on the day at $121,500 at the time of writing.
