What has moved the market
Selling pressure in crypto associated with outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs of $228,6 million during the week and leveraged liquidations close to $950 million. View source
Bearish pressure on altcoins and long liquidations in the crypto market (Ground News, 2026-10-18).
Timely rotation towards usage/utility news in specific tokens, such as TIA with the launch of Eden (TokenPost, 2026-10-18).
Celestia (AUNT) falls 8,21%
Celestia goes from €0,59 to €0,54 in 24 hours.
- Following the launch of Eden, TIA rose to $0,76 and subsequently experienced significant selling pressure, falling to $0,624. The news attributes the accelerated decline to over $2 million in long position liquidations and a 23% reduction in open interest.
- TIA fell after the announcement of Eden, a new EVM chain from Celestia that uses TIA to pay for gas; the news explicitly links the announcement to a possible new lawsuit, but also says that the expected level of activity and commissions was not clarified.

Pump.fun (PUMP) falls 7,11%
Pump.fun goes from €0,00 to €0,00 in 24 hours.
- The price followed a correction driven by selling pressure in the spot and perpetual markets: open interest fell almost 10% in 24 hours, spot CVD had been declining for a week, and funding rates turned negative. The news links these indicators to PUMP's decline, although the percentage published by the source was -5,19% in 24 hours, compared to the -7,11% recorded on Bit2Me.
- PUMP fell during the period amid long liquidations and intraday weakness; a news report from October 18th states $8.3M in long liquidations and token decline, which offers a direct but still incomplete explanation for the -7.11% 24h drop.
