Crypto under pressure: who stayed strong, who cracked, and what you can do next

Scope: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin
Window: Oct 10 to Oct 12, local time +02:00

All six of the biggest coins by market cap faced the same hard moment at 23:00 on Oct 10. Prices dropped across the whole market at once. Think of it as a stress test. When life gets tough, you see true character. This one hour lets us do a clean crypto analysis of strength, weakness, and the rebound.

Quick answer: why did crypto go down

This was a market-wide shock, triggered by a Trump tweet about a renewed tarrif intention on China. The domino started and market orders were triggered, both in the stock market indices and crypto. In events like this, several things often hit together:

• Large sell orders and stop losses trigger more selling.

• High leverage gets liquidated and forces extra selling.

• Bots and algos chase the move and speed it up.

• Traders rush to raise cash at the same time.

The exact mix can change, but the result is the same: a fast crypto crash that hits every chart in the same hour.

Crypto analysis of the crash hour

All six coins made their biggest hourly drop at 23:00 on Oct 10. From the hour’s open down to the low:

• XRP −36.8%

• Dogecoin −31.6%

• BNB −25.7%

• Solana −18.8%

• Ethereum −11.2%

• Bitcoin −4.0%

Every coin bounced after the low. None made a new low in the next day.

The mega caps of crypto: Who stayed strong and who cracked

Bitcoin
Smallest drop and quick recovery inside the hour. It is the calm boat in a storm.

Ethereum
Best instant repair. It even closed the crash hour above its own open. Good sign for dip buys when price moves back above that hour’s start.

BNB
Big hit in the hour, then steady buying later. It finished the next day slightly higher than the crash close. Quiet strength.

XRP and Dogecoin
Huge bounces off the low, but gains did not hold well. These are the weak links in this test unless price climbs and stays above the crash hour’s start.

Solana
Strong first pop, then the weakest finish into the next day. Needs to show it can hold recoveries.

Two simple lines for every crypto chart

You do not need complex tools. Mark only two levels from the crash hour:

• Crash low – danger line. If price falls under it, the idea is wrong.

• Crash hour start price – repair line. Back above it and holding means the market is moving from panic to recovery.

Things to consider for your crypto portfolio

For beginners and busy investors:

• Keep a base in Bitcoin for stability.

• Add Ethereum on dips that move back above the repair line.

• Consider BNB while it holds recent post-crash levels since it kept gains the best into the next day.

• Treat XRP and Dogecoin as trade ideas, not long holds, until they move and hold above the repair line. Take profits faster and keep sizes smaller.

• Wait on Solana until it can close above the repair line again.

Rebound power snapshot

From the crash low to the best high in the next day:

• XRP ~58.8%, Dogecoin 40.0%, BNB 32.8%, Solana 27.5%, Ethereum 18.1%, Bitcoin 5.0%.
  Great for traders, but remember: the best coins are not only those that jump. The best coins jump and hold.

Why this crypto analysis matters

This one hour was a clean lab test for the market. It showed:

• Resilience – Bitcoin and Ethereum handled stress well.

• Late strength – BNB improved during the day after the shock.

• Weak links – XRP and Dogecoin fell the most and failed to hold most gains.

Follow-through risk – Solana bounced hard, then faded.

Final thoughts: a power hour that revealed true crypto character

This one dramatic hour of distress in the crypto market gave us a rare window into the real strength and weakness of the biggest cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin. It was like a “power hour” stress test that stripped away the hype and showed which projects can hold their ground when everything falls apart.

If you’re a crypto trader or investor, this kind of analysis helps you think beyond the headlines. After seeing how each coin behaved, you might start rebalancing your portfolio, perhaps keeping a stronger base in Bitcoin and Ethereum, being cautious or reducing exposure to weaker performers such as XRP or Solana, and giving BNB a closer look after its solid rebound despite the hit. That $1,000 level on BNB, in particular, looked like a strong magnet that pulled buyers back in after the flush.

Moments like this don’t come often. When they do, they offer a clear mirror of market psychology and coin resilience. This “hour of truth” didn’t just tell us why crypto went down, it showed us which coins can truly stand back up.
