Influencer Warns Bitcoin ‘Accident’ Ahead, Says Even The Ambulance Can Crash – Crypto News

According to posts and short clips published on October 17, 2025, social media personality Andrew Tate warned that Bitcoin could fall to $26,000 before a bottom forms.

His clip argues that as long as many traders expect quick rebounds and hold long bets, the market can keep sliding until optimism is gone.

But, it was the “car crash” and “losing your entire family” and having an arm amputated in an accident part that sounded disturbing. It was all a metaphor about the reality of investing in Bitcoin and that everything could get worse. At least, in the way he sees it.

On Psychology & Risk

Tate’s message was mostly dark and foreboding. He spoke about pain, suffering and how too much expectation can wreck people’s dreams. His message enters on market psychology: too many people still thinking price won’t go lower, which is the worst part — and that keeps risk alive.

He framed the move as a capitulation or “amputation” — a moment when traders finally give up and positions are cleared. Several crypto outlets picked up the clip and reposted short videos of his comments across X and Instagram.

Market data gives context to why his warning grabbed attention. Bitcoin recently pulled back from highs earlier in October and traded near the $106,000–$107,000 area on October 17, with large liquidations hitting futures and options desks.

Reports show hundreds of millions cleared from leveraged positions in the recent sell-off. That kind of forced selling can amplify moves in either direction.

Market Moves And Data Points

Other outlets pointed out outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs on days when prices slid, evidence that institutional flows can swing quickly and affect liquidity.

Some coverage named single-day ETF outflows in the hundreds of millions, underscoring how fragile demand can look in a down leg. At the same time, a few market vets argued that these drops create buying chances for longer-term players.

Observers split on probability. Some analysts warn that a deep correction is possible if broad liquidity dries up or if macro shocks hit risk assets.

Others note that structural change — like larger custody flows and ETF frameworks — creates more buyers than in past cycles, which could make a plunge to $26,000 unlikely without a major external shock.

What Traders Should Watch

Meanwhile, key numbers to watch are support near four-figure and five-figure levels that traders have flagged this week, liquidations across futures, and ETF flows in and out of spot products.

Momentum indicators versus gold and on-chain metrics have also been highlighted by some outlets as signs of whether sellers are exhausted or just getting started.

In short, Tate’s $26,000 call is a bold, simple forecast built on a sentiment argument. It is newsworthy because it came from a widely followed figure and because crypto is volatile right now. But it is one scenario among many.
