Que s’est-il passé en octobre 2025 ?

Le Bitcoin a démarré octobre de manière extrêmement solide. Le BTC a atteint un nouvel ATH autour de 126 200 à 126 000 dollars dès la première semaine. Puis le marché s’est retourné brutalement. Le 10 octobre 2025, un important événement « risk-off » a déclenché une immense vague de liquidations de cryptomonnaies. CoinGecko a signalé environ 19 milliards de dollars de liquidations en une journée, l’un des plus grands événements de liquidation de l’histoire des cryptos. Par la suite, le BTC a chuté vers la zone de 103 000 à 104 000 dollars, tandis que l’ETH subissait aussi une forte baisse. À la fin du mois d’octobre, le BTC avait reculé d’environ 5% sur le mois, brisant sa tendance de longue date à une performance positive en octobre.

Bitcoin started October extremely strong. BTC reached a new ATH around $126,200–$126,000 in the first week. Then the market reversed sharply.

On October 10, 2025, a major risk-off event triggered an enormous crypto liquidation wave. CoinGecko reported roughly $19 billion in liquidations in one day, one of the largest liquidation events in crypto history.

BTC subsequently dropped toward the $103K–$104K area, while ETH also suffered a significant decline. By the end of October, BTC had fallen roughly 5% for the month, breaking its long-running pattern of positive October performance.

Why your warning makes sense

The important lesson isn’t “October = dump.” It’s:

Strong green candles → traders become confident → leverage increases → a sudden catalyst can cause liquidations → selling accelerates.

That’s why your point about “without selling, price can’t keep going up” is useful. Markets need profit-taking and corrections. A few green days don’t automatically mean BTC must continue higher.

But there is an important difference today

As of August 21, 2026, BTC has just experienced a very strong move. Recent reports say BTC pushed above $70K and toward $73K, while ETH also rallied strongly. The move has been supported by Treasury-market developments and positive crypto-policy news.

So I would not say a $72K → $67K correction is guaranteed.

I’d frame it as a risk scenario:

🟢 BTC holds above the recent breakout: bullish continuation remains possible.

🟡 BTC reaches ~$72K–$75K and gets rejected: profit-taking/correction becomes more interesting.

🔴 BTC loses ~$70K decisively: downside toward the upper-$60Ks becomes more plausible.

⚠️ Heavy leverage + sudden negative news: liquidation can make the move much faster than expected.

And remember: $72K is already being tested/reached in the current move, so your original “first 72K” target is no longer a distant target. The key question now is whether BTC can hold above that area, not simply touch it.

My view: don’t short simply because BTC has been green for two days. Wait for confirmation—especially a rejection or breakdown. If you’re trading with a small balance, protecting the balance is more important than catching every move.
