The volatility following October’s mid-month crash has been rough.
And if you read my colleague Juan Villaverde’s update on Friday, you know we still have more ahead.
But in a recent live event with his Next Crypto Superstars Members, small-cap expert Mark Gough highlighted the bullish setup the Oct. 10 crash created in its wake.
According to him, these violent liquidations flush out the markets. They’re the final reset usually before Q4 momentum returns.
With $10 billion in open interest cleared out, funding rates are now back to neutral, sentiment has been crushed … and this creates the exact conditions for new trends to form.
Think about this: Everyone who is overleveraged has now left the market. The weak hands are gone. The tourists are shaking out.
So, who’s left?
Strong holders. Institutional positions. Long-term allocators.
Bitcoin ETFs remain strong. Leverage has been wiped clean. And institutional positioning can reset and reenter at better levels.
And here's the interesting data point: The gold-to-Bitcoin ratio recently hit 11x, suggesting significant upside potential if Bitcoin recaptures its digital gold narrative in Q4.
Savvy investors see the opportunity in this moment.
They’re watching for technical confirmation of both key levels and volume structure. And they’re also watching for how and when institutions will reenter the market.
Remember, these shakeouts are designed to test your conviction.
They're designed to make you question everything. And that's a good thing to do, too.
But the people who survive this phase — the ones who manage the risk, stay disciplined and build through volatility — those are the ones that win and will not in the long run.
So, stay disciplined.
Stay liquid.
And while we wait for the market to make its intentions clear, I hope you check out the rest of this week’s Weiss Crypto Daily updates.

Keep Your Crypto Safe from 3 Top Scams
We’ve come a long way from crypto’s earliest days. But with 63% of American adults still weary of digital assets, we’ve still got a ways to go. Fueling that mistrust are the scams that plague crypto investors.
In my update this week, I go though three prominent crypto scams … and the warning signs you can watch for to keep yourself safe.
