10X Research: The current market is primed for a rebound, with this recent drop attributed to market makers selling futures in a liquidity trap
On February 12, 10X Research CEO Markus Thielen told attendees at the Consensus Hong Kong conference:
“After the November 2024 election, Bitcoin surged rapidly from $70,000 to $90,000 in just 10 to 12 days. But trading was extremely thin during that rally—creating a big liquidity gap, a void in market depth.
When Bitcoin dropped to $87,000, it fell into that liquidity trap. Here’s what followed: At the $75,000 level, there was heavy negative gamma in the options market. That forced market makers to hedge, and their only option was to keep selling futures.
Once the last of the negative gamma impact at $60,000 was absorbed, the tide turned: ‘Alright, the last market maker’s hedging is done—now we can flip direction.’”

Binance CEO Richard Teng told attendees at the Consensus Hong Kong conference on February 12 that the October 11 crypto market liquidation was not caused by Binance. Instead, the event stemmed from China’s rare earth export controls and new U.S. tariffs, which triggered large-scale liquidations across all centralized and decentralized exchanges that day.
About 75% of the liquidations occurred around 9:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time that day, alongside two unrelated, isolated technical issues: the stablecoin USEe depegging and some asset transfer delays, Teng said.
“The U.S. stock market lost $15 trillion in value that day, with $150 billion in liquidations—far more than crypto’s $19 billion,” he noted.
On a macro level, uncertainty over future interest rate direction persists, while geopolitical tensions and other trends continue to pressure assets like crypto, Teng said. “What matters most is underlying development: Retail demand has weakened compared to the past year, but institu
