The weekend crypto market experienced a wave of correction, with geopolitical risks becoming the main driving force. Bitcoin fell below the $95,000 level, trading at $92,580, down more than 2.5%. Ethereum performed even worse, dropping from around $3,400 to $3,211, nearly a 2.8% decline in a single day. Ripple and Dogecoin also couldn't escape, both entering correction mode.



In terms of market size, the total global cryptocurrency market cap shrank by approximately 1.26%, falling to $3.23 trillion. This correction also triggered a number of liquidations—over $780 million in positions were liquidated, with longs making up the majority, totaling $750 million. Traditional financial markets also declined simultaneously, with Dow futures down 341 points, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 falling 0.80% and 1.01%, respectively.

However, analyst Ali Martinez offered an interesting perspective. He believes that if Ethereum can hold the $3,085 support level and break through the $3,400 resistance, it has the technical potential to surge toward $4,000. In other words, the current correction might just be short-term volatility, and whether it can recover depends on future momentum. This view has sparked quite a bit of discussion in the market—after all, cryptocurrency volatility is already high, and the addition of geopolitical factors makes chain reactions more likely.
BTC-6,11%

It's another geopolitical stunt, this time really painful Liquidation of 780 million, leveraged traders are stunned Hold the 3085? That's a nice thought, wake up Short-term volatility? I've heard that phrase for two years Bitcoin 92,580, I really didn't expect it to be this fast Ethereum to hit 4000? First, hold the 3211 level, then talk Every time, they say the technicals have potential, but the wallets don't What does this correction count as? I've been through worse Longs wiped out? That greedy bunch deserves it The Dow also fell, this time it's truly global coordination Alberto Martinez is back to storytelling, those who believe in him are trapped Feels like the market's final struggle before liquidity is drained Even weekends don't bring peace, really

780 million liquidation, looks like I have to pay the exchange tuition again, I won't say anything. Forget it, I'll just buy the dip, anyway I've already lost. Once geopolitical issues arise, everything becomes pointless, I'm truly convinced. Martínez is telling stories again, I don't think 3085 will hold. You shouldn't touch coins on weekends, it's always like this.

You're trying to cut us again, huh? Geopolitics is just a pretext. Wait, 780 million liquidated? That leverage freaks messed up again. If 3085 can't hold, it's really over. This guy is back to hyping again, always talking about potential... He even plans to secretly dump during the weekend, so ridiculous.

Another wave of wiping out the little guys? 780 million liquidation is truly incredible, longs caught in the crossfire. --- Holding above 3085 to reach 4000? Just listen to it, even analysts are saying this. --- Blaming geopolitical issues again, I think someone just wants to harvest. --- When BTC breaks 95k, I knew something was coming. Watching the plunge at home over the weekend, it really doesn't feel good. --- The resistance level of Ethereum's defense line each time feels like telling a story; still, watch the trend. --- Over 750 million longs wiped out, some are laughing to death, others fainted from crying. --- Traditional finance is also crashing, it seems it's not just about crypto. --- Repeated adjustments and liquidations, I just want to know when the bottom will come. --- Martínez's view sounds pretty good, but fewer and fewer people are willing to believe it.

Here comes the chopping of leeks again, always using geopolitical issues as an excuse. 7.8 billion in liquidation, oh my god... how many more people will go bankrupt? Martínez is back to making empty promises, honestly, 3085 probably can't hold. Just want to sleep peacefully over the weekend, but ended up getting trapped even worse. Technical breakouts and such, let's just survive this wave first.

Another wave of geopolitical jokes, $780 million just gone Both falling and liquidating, I just want to know where the bottom really is Martínez's prediction feels too optimistic, the market itself is a mess Still hoping to turn around over the weekend, but ended up with a bunch of liquidation notices If 3085 can't hold, we're all done This wave of Ethereum's adjustment feels like it's not just a technical issue Speaking of geopolitical turmoil, crypto really can't rise properly anymore Holding on gives hope? I only see over $750 million longs being wiped out

Here we go again, geopolitical tensions trigger contract liquidations, $780 million just gone like that. Does anyone really believe Martinez's breakout theory? I doubt it. Weekend is for good sleep, stop watching the charts. Bitcoin at 92,580... does it need to keep falling? Wait, let's just wait for the 3085 line; only after it breaks will we know where the bottom is. Another wave of mindless long liquidation, the bears are laughing. Ethereum back above 3000, it seems like it will be volatile for a while. Traditional finance is also falling in line, there's no escaping it. Wow, over 7.5 billion longs wiped out, that's the market for you. Technical support at 4000? Let's see if we can stay alive until 3400 first, haha.

Geopolitical turmoil causes the crypto market to kneel, it's really annoying. Another $780 million liquidation, this wave of hunting is really fierce. If 3085 can't hold, ETH probably has to drop even further, right? So is this what Martinez meant by "opportunity"? I just can't see it. I wanted to relax over the weekend, but my account is crying—who can understand this feeling? $4000? Let's see if we can survive until $3200 first, haha. All the liquidations are my friends; I've recently learned to be smart and just stay flat.

Here we go again, geopolitical troublemaking... $780 million liquidation, longs got shaved again --- Martínez, this guy's take is pretty interesting, but I still can't trust him --- 92580... I'm still waiting for 93000 to break even --- Ethereum can't hold above 3085, forget about 4000 --- Traditional markets are also falling, now it's truly interconnected --- Weekends should be for rest, but no, they have to keep messing around... Now the holdings are like a roller coaster
