Bitcoin's Weekend Selloff A 'Healthy Shakeout,' Not A Market Crash, Expert Says

Max Keizer, CEO and Founder of BecauseBitcoin.com, took to social media on Monday to address the recent market turbulence, urging investors to view the price drop as a healthy shakeout, not a reason to panic.

What Happened: Keizer remains optimistic, despite Bitcoin’s BTC/USD sharp decline, which sent its price tumbling from highs of approximately $70,500 to a low of $62,800 on the weekend.

“This was a healthy shakeout & I can promise you that we’re going to see a half dozen more throughout this bull market,” Keizer writes.

He supports his view by referencing historical Bitcoin cycles marked on his chart with time-based Fibonacci sequences, noting that the optimal times to buy have consistently fallen between specific Fibonacci levels.

The market drop was part of a broader correction that saw major cryptocurrencies lose up to 18% of their value.

The sell-off was intensified by $2 billion in liquidated futures positions—marking the most significant liquidation event since March—primarily from traders betting on higher prices.

Why It Matters: Keizer suggests that despite the volatility, we are still in the early stages of a significant bull market.

He tells his followers to brace for more such fluctuations, encouraging a strategic approach to investment: “We are STILL in the very early innings of a major crypto bull market & it’s my belief that the best is yet to come. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.”

The analysis comes at a time when many investors are expressing concern over the market’s future, although some see Bitcoin heading higher first on liquidations of short positions.

What’s Next: These insights are particularly relevant as the financial community looks toward Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets conference on Nov. 19.

This event will likely address the recent market dynamics, including the Bitcoin halving and its impact on market valuations.
