Crypto Daily: Week of September 29, 2025

Hi everyone! We are back this week to a few new moves in crypto, and a slightly condensed change to the newsletter format here. I am actively trying to change things up and get to the content faster to see what will appeal most.

What's Moving in Crypto Today

Bitcoin Bounces Back Above $111K

Bitcoin's having a good day, up 2.2% to $111,887, which I would be remiss to say is still down overall. Ethereum's doing even better with a 3% jump to $4,123. The total crypto market cap hit $3.86 trillion, which is up 2.34% for the day. Not bad for a Sunday recovery, but it feels like a minor recovery overall.

If BTC wants to hit the fabled $150,000 this year, it must have a major holiday season, as well as ETH hitting increasing all time highs. We will see if the predictions are true.

XRP and BNB Join the Party

XRP's up almost 3% at $2.86, and BNB is crushing it with a 3.6% gain to $1,010. When the major altcoins start moving together like this, it usually means the rally has some legs. Does this mean we are in altcoin season yet? Not sure, but the main recovery has been slow and alts tend to do better.

Leverage Traders Got Absolutely Wrecked

Ouch. We just saw $800 million in leveraged positions get liquidated. That's $500 million in Ethereum and $300 million in Bitcoin positions just... gone. This is exactly why leverage in crypto is basically playing with fire. The cascade effect is brutal.

The $100K Bitcoin Question

Bitcoin's hanging out just under $110K, and traders are getting nervous. Prediction markets now show a 61% chance we'll see it dip below $100K before 2026. That's way up from 41% last week. The mood is definitely shifting.

Nobody Knows What Happens Next

The analysts are all over the place. Some are calling for 10 to 20% pullbacks (which would hurt), while others say if we break $112K, altcoins are going to moon. Classic crypto: everyone's confident and nobody agrees.

With this being said, what can you do this week? Generally I would say monitor this dip, because it could present a good buying opportunity. As for the rest, the only thing you can do is sit on them for a very long time and basically forget about your stake. That way when it does eventually recover and go on the next bull run, you will be better for it!

Stay ahead of the curve,
