Crypto Market Plunges This Week as Whales Buy the Dip, Adding Over $1.2 Billion in BTC, ETH, and XRP; Synchronized Buy Signals Emerge October 11 — Major cryptocurrencies plunged across the board this week, but on-chain data shows that whales are buying against the trend. Several analysts believe short-term rebound signals have emerged. At the beginning of this week, Bitcoin fell from $87,000 to below $81,000, marking a new low for nearly two weeks. The main causes included significant ETF outflows, panic triggered by large-scale government fund transfers, negative macroeconomic factors, and profit-taking. Analyst Ali Martinez observed that Bitcoin whales accumulated more than $1.2 billion worth of BTC within 72 hours, while the TD Sequential indicator issued a buy signal on the 4-hour chart. Ethereum also suffered a sharp decline, falling from above $2,700 to $2,400 before finding support and halting its decline around that level. During this correction, whales increased their holdings by 0.64%, equivalent to approximately 166,000 ETH. The token also showed a buy signal on the 4-hour chart, and Martinez forecast a rebound target range of $2,620 to $2,650. Although XRP's 4-hour TD Sequential indicator also showed a buy signal, its rejection and pullback around $1.51 likewise provided the market with an opportunity to accumulate. Whales bought more than 45 million XRP during this period, worth approximately $63 million. The analysis points out that XRP's earlier sell signal closely coincided with a local high. What is truly worth watching now is whether this buy signal means that a local low has formed. Finally, BTC, ETH, and XRP have all issued buy signals on their 4-hour charts. Do you think this is a local low or merely a continuation of the decline? #ReboundSignalEmerges

🚨 XRP LEDGER HAD A BUG THAT COULD PRINT XRP FROM NOTHING This one is wild. The XRP Ledger just disclosed a bug that could have created brand new $XRP out of thin air. Yes, the coin with a fixed 100 billion supply. What happened? An integer overflow inside the XRPL payment engine, the part that settles trades on the built-in DEX. An attacker could open hundreds of accounts, post offers selling a tiny amount of a token for a huge amount of XRP, then hit all of them with one single payment. The total got too big for the software to count, so the sellers got paid in full while the buyer paid almost nothing. Result = fresh XRP that never existed, spendable like normal XRP. Worse, the safety check that runs after every transaction to make sure no XRP is created used the same broken math, so it would have missed it. Who found it? Researcher Cayden Liao with Veria AI, reported through the XRPL bug bounty on Sept 22. RippleX, Ripple's dev arm, reproduced it, rated it critical and the fix was merged by Sept 23. When was it fixed? xrpld 3.4.1 shipped on Sept 25, quietly, without saying what it fixed. Over 80% of default UNL validators were running it the same day. Public disclosure came Oct 9, and the code has been there since 2015. Most important part: RippleX says there's NO evidence it was ever exploited on any public network. Supply is safe. Why it matters for price: the 100B cap is the whole story institutions buy into. A real exploit would have been a disaster. Instead we got a quiet fix and a clean disclosure, so this is a FUD headline, not a supply event. Don't panic sell a patched bug.
