Crypto Market Crash Today [ LIVE] Updates October 11th

Gold advocate and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has sounded another alarm—this time on Ethereum’s sharp decline. While Bitcoin has dropped about 10% from its all-time high, Ether is down over 21%, now hovering near $3,900. Schiff cautioned that if ETH breaks its key support at $3,350, it could swiftly plunge toward $1,500. Known for his bearish stance on crypto, Schiff urged investors to “get out now,” predicting deeper pain if market sentiment worsens.

The recent crypto crash became the perfect storm for the biggest liquidation event in history, wiping out over $19 billion as hidden leverage across the market unraveled. Traders and funds had shifted from spot to leveraged positions chasing perp DEX airdrops, masking true market risk. When Trump’s 100% tariff announcement hit an already overbought equities market, it triggered a chain reaction. Fragile altcoin liquidity, overexposed leverage, and mismatched valuations caused a violent unwinding, forcing funds to liquidate. A brutal reset yet a setup for the next cycle.

The crypto market just witnessed its largest liquidation event in history, with over $19.16 billion wiped out in hours nearly 20x bigger than the March 2020 Covid crash and far surpassing the $1.6 billion FTX collapse. Triggered by Trump’s 100% tariff announcement on Chinese imports, Bitcoin plunged to $102K, altcoins crashed up to 90%, and over $1 trillion in market cap vanished. The event marks a historic leverage flush, resetting the market for the next potential bull phase.

The crypto market crashed after Trump announced 100% tariffs on Chinese imports starting November 1, shocking global markets. Bitcoin plunged to $102K, altcoins dropped up to 90%, and over $1 trillion in market cap vanished within hours. On-chain data revealed a whale had opened massive shorts on BTC and ETH days before the announcement, profiting $200M from the crash. The event wiped out leverage and weak hands signaling a potential market reset rather than the end of the bull cycle.
