Grab your coffee and prepare for some positive news: Bitcoin's recent sell-off in October is showing signs of recovery. With increasing buying pressure and greater institutional support, the market could be gearing up for a significant rebound by 2025.

Bitcoin Sell-Off Appears to End: Insights from Max Keiser

Bitcoin's significant decline in October seems to be concluded, according to crypto pioneer Max Keiser. This sell-off was primarily instigated by a stablecoin misprint rather than by macroeconomic factors like ETFs or exchange failures. Now, there is a noticeable increase in buying interest.

Max Keiser explained to BeInCrypto, “There was a misprint on one of the stablecoins that triggered a selling cascade. Now we see the market adjusting upward to cover ground lost to the price error.”

By examining volume charts, Keiser identified clear indications of seller exhaustion and a growing wave of buying interest. This is echoed in market data that indicates a strong rebound in Bitcoin trading volume following the drop on October 10, pointing to renewed activity from both retail and institutional investors.

MSCI Consultation Adds to Market Concerns

A lesser-known MSCI consultation significantly impacted the market, contributing to October's crash. The proposal suggested that companies holding more than 50% of their assets in digital currencies and operating similarly to a digital treasury might be excluded from MSCI global indices.

MicroStrategy, often seen as a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin, could face forced selling as index funds reevaluate their positions. Analyst Bull Theory remarked that MSCI’s announcement created additional structural fears in a market already dealing with high leverage, poor Nasdaq performance, and geopolitical issues.

“This resulted in one of the biggest liquidation waves in crypto history,” stated the analyst. JPMorgan also issued a bearish note shortly after, emphasizing the same MSCI risks and heightening panic during a period of thin liquidity.

Keiser pointed out that institutional timing has been strategic, with large investors accumulating assets while retail investors sold under pressure. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor addressed the situation regarding the MSCI Index.

Clarification from MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor

Michael Saylor made it clear that MicroStrategy is not just a fund or trust, but a publicly traded operating company with a robust software business generating $500 million and a unique strategy that utilizes Bitcoin as a productive asset.

This year, the company has already issued $7.7 billion in digital credit instruments and introduced an innovative Bitcoin-backed Stretch (STRC) product, reinforcing confidence in Bitcoin's long-term fundamentals.

Saylor's statements underscore Bitcoin’s rising importance as reliable collateral; the weekly volumes of their BTC-backed credit instruments skyrocketed from $1.2 million in mid-September to over $13 billion by late November—an increase of over 1,000%. This trend illustrates the growing dependency on Bitcoin in structured finance, far surpassing traditional fiat-backed options.

“There is no reason a new all-time high (ATH) in 2025 shouldn’t happen. The demand for Bitcoin is at an all-time high,” concluded Max Keiser.

While the MSCI decision is anticipated on January 15, 2026, the October crash is now viewed primarily as a technical panic instead of a fundamental breakdown. Analysts foresee continued accumulation by institutional investors, stabilization of ETF flows, and the emergence of a liquidity cycle. The current market offers a chance to take advantage of structural clarity and rising demand, with Bitcoin poised for a laudable rally in 2025.
