According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) on X (Oct 16, 2025), the current gold chart resembles Bitcoin’s 2017 and 2021 peaks with heavy retail buying, and he warns that a correction could follow as it did then, adding that crypto — particularly BTC — may mirror gold’s move with even greater magnitude, signaling elevated downside risk and volatility for traders (source: @CryptoMichNL on X).

According to @EricBalchunas, proposed 3x leveraged single-stock ETF filings span 66 unique stocks, and over the past 5 years there were 350 instances where one of those names moved by 33% or more in a single day, a magnitude sufficient to wipe out a 3x product in one session (source: Eric Balchunas on X, Oct 15, 2025). He added that users often rotate to the next product after blow-ups and that leveraged ETFs are flagged as a red light in his rating system, underscoring materially elevated single-session tail risk for traders (source: Eric Balchunas on X, Oct 15, 2025).

According to @StockMarketNerd, if a trading session is blowing up your account, step back from short-dated options to limit immediate risk exposure (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Oct 10, 2025). According to @StockMarketNerd, cool it with margin to reduce forced liquidations and compounding losses during volatility spikes (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Oct 10, 2025). According to @StockMarketNerd, ease up on high-beta positions to lower portfolio volatility and drawdown potential (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Oct 10, 2025). According to @StockMarketNerd, there is nothing wrong with staying in common equity and only risking capital you actually have in speculative assets (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Oct 10, 2025). For crypto market participants, this guidance translates into reducing leverage on derivatives and avoiding ultra-short-dated options until risk normalizes, as an interpretation of the same risk-control principles (source: interpretation of guidance from @StockMarketNerd on X, Oct 10, 2025).

According to the source, 24-hour crypto derivatives liquidations totaled about $405 million, with $229.58 million from shorts and $176.10 million from longs. Source: the provided update.

According to the source, Satoshi Nakamoto now holds over 134 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin, a figure that aligns with long-cited estimates of roughly 1.1 million BTC attributed to the early Patoshi miner set, source: X post dated Oct 4, 2025 and Sergio Demian Lerner Patoshi research. A single entity with that scale represents a potential supply overhang and tail-risk event if any of these dormant coins move, source: Glassnode analysis of the Patoshi set. Historically, coins believed to be part of the Patoshi set have shown no spending since 2009–2010, which has limited realized sell pressure but warrants continuous on-chain monitoring for any spends from Patoshi-tagged addresses, source: Bitcoin blockchain data and Glassnode.
