⚔️ UNDERSTANDING MARKET TURBULENCE ⚔️
The crypto market faces turbulence due to an explosive combination: a wave of forced liquidations after realized profits, coupled with high inflation pressure and uncertain interest rates.
The regulatory shadow is widening with the new postponement of the decision on Solana ETFs, while funds are migrating to Ethereum.
With options expirations approaching and increasing geopolitical tensions, traders are pulling back.
And altcoins are not escaping: accelerated token unlocks are draining liquidity and flooding the market with supply.
Main Factors of Turbulence in the Crypto Market
1. Mass Liquidation + Realized Profits
The market suffered a sharp decline after inflation data in the US, resulting in liquidations exceeding $1 billion in 24 hours.
Additionally, there was intense profit-taking after assets had risen significantly in the previous weeks.
2. Interest Rate Anticipation by the Economy
Higher-than-expected inflation increased the risk of maintaining or even new interest rate hikes, reducing the appetite for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
3. Regulatory Uncertainty and ETF Expectations
The SEC postponed, again, the decision on Solana ETFs to October 16, 2025, which generates tension and uncertainty in the market.
At the same time, the influx season in ETFs remains busy — especially in the case of Ethereum, which surpasses Bitcoin in fundraising through ETFs.
4. Geopolitical Factors and Options
The proximity of options expirations and policy choices in the US, along with geopolitical instabilities, have generated greater volatility in Bitcoin, and consequently in the entire market.
5. Caution with Altcoins due to Supply Abrasion
Many altcoins have suffered from sudden increases in supply (“token unlocks”), which pressurizes prices — even with stable demand.
