A prominent crypto whale, recognized for accurately forecasting the October 2025 market downturn, has made a comeback by placing $55 million in long bets on

The October crash, which saw Bitcoin tumble from $126,000 to under $102,000 within a single day, was directly tied to Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. Fears of a trade war triggered widespread panic selling, with long positions making up $16.83 billion of the liquidations.

The Trump administration’s favorable approach to crypto, along with the US-China trade truce, could help reduce uncertainty for big investors. Still, as van de Poppe points out, the bull run is just beginning, with Bitcoin currently at $110,354 and Ethereum at $3,895, reflecting a cautious sense of optimism.
