63+ Cheat Sheets | Advertise | SuperAI x Crypto | Free One-Shot Guides

In the past 12 years, October printed green candles for BTC 10 times. In 2021, it pumped +40% in 31 days. In 2017? +48%. And now, we’re heading into October 2025! Is this the calm before a $150K breakout...?

Here’s what we got for you today:

• 👀 How high can $ASTER go in 2025?

• ⭐ 3 altcoins facing risk in early October

• ⭐ Uptober finally comes!!!

• 🔥 Burning hot takes for the road

Aster is suddenly everywhere. Price surging. Whales moving. Hype exploding. But evidence is mounting that CZ could be quietly backing it… as part of a plan to block Hyperliquid’s rise before it’s too late.

Why would Binance step in now? What’s Aster really building? And more importantly, how high can it go in 2025 if this theory holds? 👇

🚨 3 ALTCOINS AT HIGH RISK OF LIQUIDATION IN EARLY OCTOBER

Hey fam, get ready, things might get bumpy. We’ve seen over $1B in liquidations in the past two months alone, and the transition from September to October might trigger another wave.

Here are 3 altcoins currently sitting on a knife’s edge:

1/ Solana (SOL)

$SOL.X ( ▲ 7.43% ) is trading dangerously close to $200, a key psychological level. SOL’s 7-day liquidation map shows a perfect balance between long and short positions.

• If SOL pumps to $230, $1.18B in short positions will get liquidated

• If it drops to $186, $1.16B in long positions could be wiped out

Short-term SOL holders are near breakeven, but pressure is mounting. If SOL falls below $200, panic could set in.

In a worst-case whipsaw, both long and short traders could get wrecked if SOL dips below $200 then rebounds quickly.

2/ Plasma (XPL)

$XPL.X ( ▲ 1.39% ) exploded 130% to $1.80 in September after being listed in Binance’s HODLer Airdrop program, attracting $1.4B in open interest.

Since then, XPL has dropped over 20% to $1.30, making it the #4 most liquidated altcoin in late September, right behind BTC, ETH, and SOL.

• The 7-day liquidation map shows a heavy imbalance → shorts dominate

• If XPL drops to $1.12, up to $64.4M in long liquidations could hit

• If it rebounds to $1.69, up to $118M in short liquidations could get triggered

Dune data shows XPL’s layer-1 network is still booming with:

• 400,000+ daily transactions

• 10,000+ daily active users

• Stablecoin USD₮0 on Plasma hit $5B market cap

Some traders remain confident though!

3/ Aster (ASTER)

$ASTER.X ( ▲ 5.58% ) is one of the most profitable tokens by protocol revenue despite a modest $3B market cap. It’s gained traction as a top Perp DEX, but that success comes with risk.

• After a 20% correction, sentiment remains strong.

• The 7-day liquidation map shows:

  • If ASTER rises to $2.22, over $70M in short positions could get liquidated.

  • If it falls to $1.59, $65M in long positions are at risk.

Whales are clearly accumulating, and the hype isn’t just from retail. MrBeast publicly announced he bought ASTER.

So yeah, if this keeps climbing, a lot of shorts could be in real trouble. What we’re seeing is a market full of tension.

If you’re trading these coins, now’s the time to zoom out and be surgical with leverage. Don’t let FOMO or fear bait you into bad positions!

🎃 UPTOBER IS HERE. HMM, IT’S DIFFERENT…?

Crypto’s favorite meme month has officially arrived. We’ve only just climbed back to where $BTC.X ( ▲ 4.21% ) was several days ago.

In the last 12 years, Bitcoin has closed green in October 10 times. 2017: +47.81%. 2021: +39.93%. 2023: +28.52%!

Even the “meh” Octobers still brought solid +5-10% gains. Only two red ones: 2014 and 2018. So historically? October delivers.

And this year, the market’s already whispering: “What if 2025 is the big one?”. Here’s what’s lining up:

• BTC closed September at +1.09% (a calm finish, no blow-off, no dump)

• $ETH.X ( ▲ 6.73% ) dropped 5.71%, so BTC dominance strengthened

• ETF deadline season is heating up, SEC decisions on major altcoin spot ETFs are expected this month

• Fed already cut rates, and markets are watching for a second move later this October

Treasury liquidity stress is also fading, and Arthur Hayes thinks that could flip crypto back into “up only” mode. On top of that, we’re seeing October positioning already start to show:

• Traders are rotating back in

• Funding is turning slightly positive

But that history isn’t a guarantee. If BTC breaks out and holds key levels with volume, Uptober becomes real. If support crumbles, well… “Uptober” turns into “Oct-over” real fast!

Uptober 2025 is entering with the most neutral base we’ve had in a while. We even joked “wake me up when September ends” 😂

WE GOT A NEW OUTFIT, YET SAME FIRE 🔥

You may have noticed... we’re looking a little hotter today.

No, we didn’t get VC funding. No, we didn’t sell out.
And yeah, we just changed the outfit. Here’s our old visual.

The Crypto Fire got a fresh new layout: cleaner headlines, faster skims, spicier memes, and one less reason to miss an airdrop.

Same no-nonsense vibes. Same signal-first content.

Let us know what you think or don’t. We’ll still be here tomorrow, firing off charts, degen plays, and quietly judging holders 👀
