Following a non-stop Bitcoin rally since the start of October when Bitcoin was trading at $10,500, the first significant retracement has taken place as Bitcoin was inching close to its ~$20,000 all-time high price.
- BTC: -14% drop from $18,900 to $16,300
- ETH: -17% drop from $575 to $480
- XRP: -28% drop from $0.65 to $0.47
Liquidations
This move to the downside occurred when the greed index was at an extreme level of 93/100, which meant a lot of market participants were over-exposed and over-leveraged. This caused a massive round of liquidations on crypto-exchanges to the tune of $1,400,000,000 (the Total Open Interest was at ~$10.5B).

From the institutional futures side, on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the liquidations announced until now did not exceed $80 million and the open interest remains just under all-time highs.

DeFi Liquidations
One Decentralised Finance (DeFi), protocol: Compound, experienced its fair share of liquidations too: over $100,000,000.

What caused it seems to be an oracle attack which brought up DAI’s price on Coinbase all the way up to $1.3 when it should be pegged to $1 (DAI is a USD-pegged stablecoin). An oracle attack is simply a malicious party looking to purposefully manipulate prices in order to trigger liquidations.
Impact of Liquidations
Futures have attracted a very large and significant amount of capital into the cryptocurrency markets since their introduction. The other side of the coin though is not as positive because with liquidations comes excessive price moves.
As price began falling down from selling pressure, over-leveraged long positions begin to get liquidated. What happens is these longs must be closed with sell orders on the market, adding to the “already there” selling pressure, pushing the price even lower, creating deeper wicks and liquidating more positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
