BTC, Tasty Dip?

Riding Bitcoin’s Wild Swing: Where to Jump In and Cash Out in October 2025

Yo, traders! Bitcoin’s throwing us some wild swings right now, and if you’re not strapped in, you’re missing the ride of the year. After screaming to $126,000 earlier this month, BTC got slammed to $111,900 (as of October 10, 2025) in a historic $19 billion liquidation bloodbath—the biggest one-day wipeout ever. Trump’s tariff bombshell lit the fuse, but is this a crash or your ticket to stack sats on the cheap? My fellow swing traders, this is our playground. Let’s break down the setup, map out entry and exit points for those juicy trades, and game-plan across three time frames: short-term (1–2 weeks), mid-term (1–2 months), and long-term (3–6 months). Buckle up!

Why’s Bitcoin Bleeding? The Big Picture

Bitcoin’s been a rocket in 2025, blasting from $75K in June to a $126K all-time high by early October. But markets don’t moon forever. Trump’s tariff news sparked a whale sell-off, with one trader pocketing $88M on a short (talk about insider vibes). Retail longs got crushed, but here’s the kicker: long-term HODLers aren’t flinching, and spot Bitcoin ETFs still sucked in $2B last week (BlackRock’s IBIT is at $25B YTD). The macro’s still bullish—Fed’s cutting rates 25bps next week, and October’s “Uptober” historically closes green 80%+ of the time, averaging 14–20% gains. This dip? It’s a shakeout to screw the weak hands before the next leg up.

Right now, the market’s in full panic mode (Fear & Greed at 27). Daily RSI’s at 28 (oversold), funding rates flipped negative, and volume hit $154B during the sell-off. X is lit with “buy the blood” calls from OGs like @SimplyBitcoinTV and @CryptoYoddha, pointing to $110K–$112K as the dip to pounce on. So, how do we trade this beast?

Swing Trade Setups: Entries, Exits, and Probabilities

For my wild swing traders, here’s the game plan. We’re looking at three scenarios based on technicals (Fibonacci levels, moving averages, order blocks), historical patterns, and X sentiment. Each has entry points, exit targets, probabilities, and expected returns to keep your trades sharp. Stick to spot buys—no leverage unless you want to join yesterday’s $19B liquidation party. From quick scalps to big-picture plays, here’s how to ride the wave:

Scenario	Time Frame	Entry Point	Exit Point	Probability	Expected Return	Why It Makes Sense
Short-Term Bounce (Scalp the Swing)	1–2 weeks (by Oct 24, 2025)	$111,000–$112,000 (current zone, 50-day EMA, 0.236 Fib)	$115,000–$118,000 (reclaim recent support/resistance)	50%	+3.5% to +6% (avg. +4.75%)	We’re at the 50-day EMA ($110K–$112K), a proven bounce zone this year. Oversold RSI (28) and $154B volume spike scream capitulation. X traders are yelling “buy here,” and Uptober’s 80% green history plus ETF inflows ($2B last week) back a quick pop. Look for a 4-hour hammer or RSI divergence to confirm. Risk: Stop below $110.5K (1% loss).
Mid-Term Reset (Core Trade)	1–2 months (by Dec 10, 2025)	$108,000–$110,000 (20-day EMA, prior weekly low)	$125,000–$130,000 (retest July highs, Fib extension)	35%	+13% to +20% (avg. +16.5%)	A dip to $108K–$110K hits the 20-day EMA and matches 15–20% post-ATH pullbacks (2021/2024). HODLers are holding firm (on-chain data), and ETFs are still buying. X analysts see $118K–$120K by November, with $130K+ if we close above $125K. Fed cuts and altcoin rotation (BTC dominance at 58%) fuel this. Risk: Stop below $107K.
Long-Term Capitulation (Big Swing)	3–6 months (by Q1 2026)	$100,000–$105,000 (200-week MA, 0.618 Fib)	$120,000–$140,000 (new ATH or higher Fib targets)	15%	+14% to +33% (avg. +23.5%)	Least likely but juiciest. A flush to $100K–$105K hits the 200-week MA and CME gap, a “blood in streets” buy per @BTC_Archive. Matches rare post-halving dips (2021’s 30%). Q4–Q1 targets of $140K–$150K align with Elliott Wave and ETF flows. Risk: Stop below $104K; macro shocks (tariffs) could delay.

How to Trade It: Stack Sats Like a Pro

Don’t try to nail the exact bottom—BTC’s too wild for that. Instead, ladder your buys to catch the swing without getting rekt:

• 30% at $111K–$112K: Dip your toes now for a quick scalp to $115K–$118K by next week if $110K holds.
• 40% at $108K–$110K: Your core swing trade; this “reload zone” offers 13–20% upside by December.
• 30% at $100K–$105K: The big-swing play if we get a rare flush—monster 14–33% returns by Q1 2026.

Set tight stops (1–2% below entry, e.g., $110.5K for short-term) to keep losses small. Blended return across these zones is ~9.8% if you spread your stack. Want to spice it up? Alts like Quant (QNT) or Dogecoin (DOGE) could pop as BTC dominance (58%) dips, hinting at an alt season soon.

Why I’m Still Bullish for the Big Swing

This dip’s brutal, but it’s not breaking Bitcoin’s 2025 bull run. The uptrend from June’s $75K low is alive, backed by:

• Institutional FOMO: ETF inflows haven’t stopped ($2B+ last week).
• Macro Tailwinds: Fed rate cuts and a weaker dollar love risk assets.
• History’s on Our Side: Uptober’s green 80%+ of the time, and post-liquidation bounces hit 20–40% (e.g., July 2024’s $69K to $92K).
• X Buzz: Analysts like @dogboii and @CryptoYoddha call $110K the reversal zone, with $130K–$140K by Q4’s end.

If $110K holds this weekend, we could see $115K–$118K by Monday’s close as shorts cover. A deeper dip to $108K or $105K just loads the spring for a Q4 rocket to $140K–$150K, per @PlanB’s 2026 $200K+ call.
