October is barely halfway over, and BTC has plunged nearly 8% from its highs at the start of the month. Altcoins have been hit even harder, and the group chat has already switched from “Uptober” to “Downtober.” The September curse never showed up, but October has already slapped us in the face. No macro blowup, no ETF outflows—just a purely sentiment-driven selloff. The risk-reward for betting on a bounce around here looks decent, but don’t use leverage. Wait for a high-volume signal that the selloff is losing steam before making a move.
