Over $19 billion was wiped out a year ago and BTC is still facing the consequences.

October has a very solid reputation in the cryptocurrency markets as “Uptober” – a green month that has historically led to major gains.

Last year’s edition was quite historic. On the one hand, BTC skyrocketed to its latest all-time high of roughly $126,000. On the other hand, though, it experienced its worst liquidation event ever. This weekend marks the first anniversary of the latter.

A Date to Remember
In the days leading up to October 10, more on that date in a second, BTC was climbing hard, earning the name Uptober. The latest record came on October 7 at just over $126,000. Analysts and permabulls were quick to praise the move and highlight the next massive targets of $200,000 or even $500,000 by the end of the year.

The reality was different. Very different. And a lot more painful. On October 10, 2025, escalating US-China trade tensions, among other reasons, triggered a violent sell-off that was exacerbated by the enormous amount of leveraged positions. According to most estimates, the total value of wrecked positions exceeded $19 billion within 24 hours. This was the worst such day in the entire 16-year history of the cryptocurrency industry at the time.

Bitcoin led the charge with a nosedive from $122,000 to $105,000 on most exchanges and even to $101,000 on a few. Over 1.6 million traders were caught by surprise and were liquidated.

The timing made the collapse particularly brutal: BTC had reached a fresh (and its latest) all-time high above $126,000 just 48-72 hours earlier. Today, a year later, that level sounds like a mirage.
