Crypto Carnage 2025: BTC Teeters, Alts Bleed Out – Will 80K Be the Grave?
Buckle up, degens – the bull run just hit a brick wall at 120 mph.
November 5, 2025. Bitcoin’s down 22% in four days, slicing through $110K, $105K, and now clawing to hold $100K like it’s the last lifeboat on the Titanic. On-chain data? Brutal. Exchange inflows spiked 180K BTC in 48 hours – whales dumping, retail panic-selling, and leveraged longs getting rekt to the tune of $1.15B liquidated in a single day. Funding rates flipped negative; the smart money’s shorting.
Will we see 80K?
Technical answer: Yes, and fast.
- 200-day EMA at ~$82K is the next major magnet.
- CME gap at $79.2K remains unfilled since the March pump.
- RSI on weekly just printed its lowest reading since the 2022 bear – oversold, but momentum says lower.
If the DXY keeps ripping (it’s at 108 and climbing), risk-off flows will gut crypto harder than a leveraged 100x perp. Gold’s up, bonds are up, BTC is not the safe haven today.
Altcoin Apocalypse: 90% Won’t Survive
Zoom out and it’s a slaughterhouse:
- Solana -32%
- Cardano -28%
- Avalanche -41%
- Layer-2s bleeding 50%+
- Meme coins? 80% already ghosted.
Total altcoin market cap? Down $600B in a week. DeFi TVL cratered 18% as hacks (Balancer, anyone?) and rug-pulls trigger mass exodus. VC portfolios are underwater; many 2021 darlings are now sub-penny zombies.
Prediction: 7 out of 10 alts die by Q2 2026. No users, no revenue, no mercy. The survivors? ETH, SOL (maybe), and a handful of L1s with actual adoption.
The Silver Lining (Yes, There Is One)
Robert Kiyosaki called it: “Crashes create millionaires.”
- 2018: BTC hit $3.1K → 2021: $69K
- 2022: $15.5K → 2025: $120K
History rhymes. This isn’t the end – it’s the great filter.
My move?
Stacking BTC below $95K and ETH under $4K like it’s 2022. No leverage. No shitcoins. Just cold storage and patience.
The weak hands are gone. The strong survive.
Your turn:
- Panic selling?
- Buying the dip?
- Or just watching from the sidelines with popcorn?
