#Gate广场万圣节 October 11: How I Survived
After 3/12 and 5/19, crypto had another day to remember: October 11 last year.
That night, BTC had just hit a new all-time high of $126k this week. I was holding a 50x long position, thinking I’d hold it for one more night and then take profit. Then a message hit in the early hours: tariffs were back. A post went up at 20:50, and within an hour, Bitcoin plunged straight from $120k to $105k. The entire market saw $19.3 billion in liquidations, 1.66 million people were forcibly liquidated, and even USDe depegged to 0.62.
My position was breached around $110k. My hands moved faster than my brain, and I clicked close—losing less is still a win. The wailing in the group chat went on until dawn: some people lost three years’ worth of profits in one night, while others said they didn’t even get a chance to close their positions (some exchanges even went down at the time).
After that night, I did one thing: I set my leverage to no more than 10x.
Halloween taught us to dress up as ghosts; October 11 taught me something else—leverage is crypto’s ghost. You don’t see it most of the time, but when the market moves, it comes out in force. Staying alive is what matters most.

PEPE/USDT Pre-Halloween Analysis: Assessing the 3x Potential
As the Halloween period approaches, market participants are monitoring assets for potential volatility. Regarding the question of whether PEPE/USDT is preparing for a 3x increase, current technical data indicates that the asset is in a consolidation phase rather than an immediate breakout.
A 3x increase from the current price of 0.000004382 would require the price to reach approximately 0.000013146. While the weekly chart shows historical price action above this level, achieving this target requires significant structural changes. Here is the objective technical breakdown.
1-Week Chart Analysis
The weekly timeframe shows the price trading at 0.000004382. This is above the middle Bollinger Band at 0.000003380 but below the upper band at 0.000004726. The MACD indicator is in positive territory with the DIF at 0.000000079 and the DEA at -0.000000127. This indicates that the long term recovery trend remains intact. However, the On-Balance Volume is trending downward.
1-Day Chart Analysis
On the daily chart, the price is positioned between the middle Bollinger Band at 0.000004186 and the upper band at 0.000004666. The MACD is positive, with the DIF at 0.000000106 above the DEA at 0.000000075. The data shows short term stability within the current range.
4-Hour Chart Analysis
The 4-hour timeframe displays recent downward pressure. The price is currently below the middle Bollinger Band at 0.000004511 and is testing the lower band at 0.000004151. The MACD is negative, with the DIF at -0.00000005 below the DEA at 0.000000026. The MACD histogram is slightly negative, and the On-Balance Volume is trending down, confirming recent selling activity.
The Path to a 3x Increase
The data does not show an immediate setup for a 3x increase. The asset is currently consolidating. To achieve a 3x target, the price must first break through multiple resistance levels.
The immediate resistance is the 4-hour middle band at 0.000004511 and the daily upper band at 0.000004666.
A confirmed breakout above the recent high of 0.000005361 is necessary to establish a new upward structure.
Reaching 0.000013146 requires a sustained increase in trading volume and continuous higher highs across all timeframes.
During the Halloween holiday, market dynamics can change rapidly. Monitoring volume and resistance levels objectively is required to evaluate if the asset can transition from consolidation to a confirmed upward trend.
