According to @AltcoinGordon, several critical crypto market events are approaching, including potential rate cuts, staking approval, FTX asset distributions, and anticipated ETF approvals. These developments are expected to provide significant bullish momentum rather than signal a market top. Traders are advised to watch for volatility but see current dips as setups for further gains, especially moving into Q4 2025, as these catalysts could drive increased trading activity and price appreciation.

According to Francisco Rodrigues, cryptocurrencies declined sharply as Israeli airstrikes on Iran triggered global risk aversion, with the CoinDesk 20 Index falling 6.1% and Bitcoin (BTC) dropping 2.9% over 24 hours. Solana (SOL) plunged nearly 9.5% despite earlier gains from Solana ETF speculation, as Jake Ostrovskis noted SEC requests for updated filings could accelerate approvals. Total liquidations reached $1.16 billion, with 90% from long positions, according to CoinGlass data. Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $939 million in month-to-date inflows, while Polymarket traders priced a 91% chance of Iranian retaliation, heightening market uncertainty.

According to Ki Young Ju, in 2025, altcoins are likely to outperform due to potential ETF approvals, sustainable attention drivers, and revenue-generating projects. The current market favors selective altcoins, indicating a strategic shift from the previous era where all altcoins would rise indiscriminately. Source: Ki Young Ju's Twitter.
