Crypto market rebounds as Bitcoin and Ethereum recover but volatility signals persist
The crypto market is bouncing back after one of its most turbulent weekends ever, with major digital assets recovering ground lost during the sudden liquidation wave that erased roughly $20 billion from open positions.
According to CryptoSlate’s data, Bitcoin climbed more than 3% in 24 hours, trading around $115,342 after sinking toward $105,000 on Oct. 10. Ethereum also recovered strongly, rising 9% to $4,180 following its weekend drop to nearly $3,500.
Among the top 10 digital assets, BNB led with a sharp 16.85% jump to a new all-time high, while Dogecoin and Cardano each gained over 10%. Tron, by contrast, posted only a modest 2.5% increase, showing that the recovery remains uneven across the market.
Over $600 million liquidated
Despite the price rebound, the crypto market still saw nearly 190,000 traders liquidate in the past 24 hours, with total losses exceeding $626 million. Notably, the most significant single liquidation involved an ETH-USD position worth $7 million on Binance.
According to CoinGlass data, short sellers absorbed most of the damage, losing roughly $418 million as prices reversed upward, while long traders forfeited another $207 million as volatility persisted.
Still, Timothy Misir, head of research at BRN, explained to CryptoSlate that the market rebound reflects a blend of short-covering and selective accumulation.
According to him:
“Large holders are buying opportunistically while many retail players remain sidelined. That said, the market’s structural health still hinges on steady spot demand, ETFs, treasuries and corporate purchases and time for liquidity to normalize. A V-shaped recovery is possible; a durable rally requires repeated absorption of selling at progressively higher prices.”
Bear signals
Meanwhile, Nick Forster, the founder of the options trading platform Derive.xyz, cautioned that volatility in Bitcoin and Ethereum options has spiked following last week’s shocking market collapse.
According to him, this signals an expectation of a volatile few weeks ahead, because the recent sell-off disrupted normal volatility patterns, and traders have begun hedging aggressively.
As a result, Forster noted that some investors are beginning to bear the thought that Bitcoin could drop below $100,000 while ETH traders are more bearish, with “substantial buying of $2,600 puts for December.”
He said:
“In BTC options, we saw heavy buying of $115,000 and $95,000 puts for the October 31 expiry, alongside a sharp reversal from call buying to call selling at the $125,000 strike (October 17 expiry), signaling a bearish near-term outlook…For ETH, traders focused on the October 31 $4,000 and October 17 $3,6000 strikes, while substantial buying of $2,600 puts for December 26 expiry reflected growing bearish sentiment through year-end.”

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
