THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

On Tuesday, the Bitcoin price briefly dipped below the significant $100,000 threshold for the first time since June. Market expert Lark Davis summarized the facts behind the ongoing sell-off on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), describing the situation as “absolutely relentless.”  Bitcoin Price Set For Deeper Correction  Davis highlighted a range of factors contributing to the Bitcoin price downturn, including selling activity from exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and large-scale investors known as whales. He suggested that fear among investors is reaching a peak, indicating a phase of significant capitulation.

Analysts suggest that Wave (5) appears to be complete, and Wave (B) might have reached its peak.  This could set the stage for a deeper Wave (C) correction, potentially bringing the price down to the $70,000 to $75,000 range. This would mean an additional 30% decline ahead for the market’s leading crypto.  The unfolding Elliott Wave A-B-C structure indicates that there is strong support for the Bitcoin price in the “green box” seen in the chart above, which could serve as a potential reversal zone. However, the analyst caution that a substantial rally may follow the completion of the Wave (C) correction. Altcoins At Risk Further complicating the outlook, market analyst Ted Pillows emphasized that merely conducting quantitative tightening (QT) would not suffice to stabilize the market.  Referring to historical data from the third quarter of 2019, when the Federal Reserve (Fed) halted QT, Pillows noted that altcoins dropped significantly—by 40%—and did not find a bottom until the Fed initiated quantitative easing (QE).

While a few may outperform, the majority are expected to decline further. As of writing, the Bitcoin price had recovered the $100,900 mark. However, losses of 6% and 12% were recorded in the last 24 hours and over the past seven days, respectively.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

The cryptocurrency market has been struck by another wave of red candles, plunging 4.1% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have all suffered notable declines, with all large market-cap cryptocurrencies falling below support levels that held last week.  The downturn gained momentum after claims surfaced on X suggesting that Wintermute, one of the industry’s largest market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over alleged issues linked to the October 10 crash. Rumors Of A Lawsuit Against Binance Add To Anxiety Market unease deepened after rumors circulated on X claiming that Wintermute, one of the industry’s leading market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over losses incurred during the October 10 crash. The speculation began when a user known as WhalePump Reborn claimed that Wintermute had lost hundreds of millions and was preparing legal action, describing the situation as “not going to be pretty.” Related Reading: XRP Price At $10,000-$50,000 Is Nonsense: Analyst Bashes Calls For Bitcoin-Like Prices This was followed by another detailed post from a popular X account known as StarPlatinum, which addressed rumors that Wintermute was pursuing legal action against Binance over what it called unfair ADL executions during the massive liquidation event in early October.  As noted by the post, Binance’s system overload during the crash led to automatic deleveraging (ADL) at extreme price points, causing an estimated $19 billion to $20 billion in liquidations in just 24 hours, the largest single-day wipeout in crypto history. Notably, Wintermute’s portfolio across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana fell by about $65 million following the crash, though no on-chain patterns indicated forced liquidations or large withdrawals. Binance, for its part, had acknowledged system overloads at the time but denied any preferential treatment or technical fault that could have led to any unfair losses. Wintermute Founder Refutes Claims Of Lawsuit As panic spread through the market, Wintermute’s founder, Evgeny Gaevoy, took to X to dispel the rumors entirely. Quoting an earlier post from October 11, Gaevoy reiterated that Wintermute had never planned to sue Binance and saw no reason to do so in the future.  “We never had plans to sue Binance, nor see any reason to do it in future,” Gaevoy said on X. “I should probably ask to make a note of all the people spreading baseless rumors, but most of people believing these have goldfish memory capacity, so I wont,” he added. He also described the circulating claims as complete bullshit in a direct response to the WhalePump Reborn post.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The ‘Unthinkable’ For XRP – Here’s What It Is The Wintermute rumors are part of various factors that are causing the price of cryptocurrencies to crash. Another factor could be the Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinting that the central bank may not pursue additional rate cuts anytime soon. Adding to the selling pressure were outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to data from Farside Investors, Spot Bitcoin ETFs started November with outflows on Monday, bringing the trend to four consecutive days of outflows. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,502, down by 2.8% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $3,490, down 6.0% in 24 hours. Dogecoin is trading at $0.1618, down 6.8% in 24 hours.

Amid the bearish pressure that has rocked the market, the Bitcoin price continues to fluctuate around the $110,000 support, especially with selling pressure building up. This has led to predictions that the Bitcoin price is headed for another crash amid the weakness. One analysis that stands out comes from crypto analyst Toby Dawson, who pointed out the formation of a bearish Heads and Shoulders pattern that could trigger a cascade below $100,000. Head And Shoulders Pattern Points Downward In the analysis shared on the TradingView website, Dawson outlines the formation of the head and shoulders pattern. The first shoulder here, the left shoulder, was created at around $117,000, when the price was struggling back in the month of September. The subsequent recovery would then give rise to the formation of the head. Related Reading: Dogecoin RSI Returns To Pre-Launch Levels, Analyst Says Next Major Surge Is Close Next was the rapid Bitcoin price rise to a new all-time high above $126,000 before hitting resistance. This resistance at this level led to the formation of the head of the pattern, and, as expected, the price continued its downtrend following this. The most recent of these is the formation of the right shoulder, which was created in the rally toward $117,000 at the end of October. Once again, the Bitcoin price hit another major resistance, marking the completion of the head and shoulders pattern. With this formation, the crypto analyst points out the possibility that the Bitcoin price will see a major bounce. However, in the case of a breakdown, the expectation would be for the price to crash below the $100,000 and move toward $90,000. Bitcoin Price Crash Expectations Spread Another crypto analyst has also called out the possibility of the Bitcoin price crashing. This comes after the cryptocurrency made a new all-time high above $126,000, and the analyst points out that the digital asset has always seen a major price crash after reaching new peaks. Related Reading: Billions In Bitcoin And Ethereum Leave Exchanges: Is Selling Pressure Easing? From here, the focus is now on the 1-week 50 EMA and the support at $100,000. These two are serving as the last line of defense, and if they fail, then the analyst expects the Bitcoin price to go into free fall. As a result, the analyst warns that investors should get ready to exist as “Bitcoin is heading straight to hell!” Just like Dawson, the crypto analyst expects that Bitcoin will break below $100,000, but puts it even further. This time, it isn’t expected to actually stop above $90,000, but to reach deeper into the $80,000 territory before finding support. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

As the new month began, the Bitcoin price opened on a downward trend, slipping below its consolidation range amid rising uncertainty and bearish sentiment in the market. Nevertheless, analysts are identifying a collection of indicators suggesting that a bullish resurgence for the cryptocurrency could be on the horizon. What’s Fueling BTC’s Potential Surge This November? According to experts at The Bull Theory, November is poised to be the most bullish month of the year for Bitcoin, and the supporting numbers are quite compelling. Historically, November has been one of the strongest months not only for US equities but also for the Bitcoin price.  For stocks, it consistently ranks as a top-performing month, while Bitcoin has historically recorded some of its most significant rallies during this time, averaging gains between 40% and 42%. What sets this November apart, however, are the underlying factors at play. Related Reading: Solana Price Drops Below $180 Despite $199M ETF Inflows, What’s Behind the Decline? One of the primary catalysts identified by the analysts is the anticipated end of the US government shutdown, which is expected to conclude this month. While this may seem like a political issue, its financial implications are substantial.  They assert that the resumption of government spending means “billions of dollars” will start flowing back into contractors, projects, and public sectors. This return to fiscal spending acts as a mini liquidity injection into the economy.  Historically, such movements of money have had a positive effect on risk assets, including equities and cryptocurrencies, as capital begins to rotate from the real economy into the financial system. Another significant factor is the planned ramp-up of corporate buybacks. Within the next few weeks, many major companies are expected to restart their buyback programs.  This creates new demand in equities at a time when liquidity is improving, which historically has pushed stock indices higher. Given that cryptocurrencies often track global liquidity cycles, this corporate-driven demand could similarly benefit the crypto market. Bitcoin Price To Reach $160,000? Additionally, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has quietly re-entered the scene, as evidenced by a spike in daily overnight repo loans, which reached $29.4 billion—the highest level in nearly five years.  This significant borrowing indicates that banks are short on dollars and are relying heavily on the Fed. Such activity typically signals stress in the short-term funding market.  Related Reading: Pundit Elaborates On Ripple/SWIFT Theory That Will Send The XRP Price To $1,000 Historically, when repo activity surges, the Fed tends to inject liquidity to stabilize the situation. This influx of capital does not remain isolated within the banking system; it tends to flow through markets, lifting equities and eventually benefiting cryptocurrencies once confidence is restored. Moreover, the US Treasury’s General Account (TGA) balance has surged close to $1 trillion, sitting approximately $150 to $200 billion above normal levels. This capital is currently idle, but once government spending resumes following the shutdown, it is likely to begin circulating again.  If the Bitcoin price performance this November mirrors its historical averages, the analysts anticipate a potential rally of around 40%. Such an increase could see the Bitcoin price reaching the $150,000 to $160,000 range.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Bitcoin price is gaining bearish pace below $108,800. BTC could continue to move down if it stays below the $109,500 resistance. Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $109,000 support. The price is trading below $108,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $109,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might continue to move down if it trades below the $105,000 zone. Bitcoin Price Dips Further Bitcoin price failed to stay above the $110,000 support level and started a fresh decline. BTC dipped below $109,000 and $108,800 to enter a bearish zone. The decline was such that the price traded below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $106,310 swing low to the $111,000 high. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $109,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading below $108,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. BTC tested the 1.236 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $106,310 swing low to the $111,000 high. If the bulls attempt a recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $108,200 level. The first key resistance is near the $108,800 level. The next resistance could be $109,500 and the trend line. A close above the $109,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $110,000 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $111,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $112,000 and $112,500. More Losses In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $108,800 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support is near the $106,200 level. The first major support is near the $105,500 level. The next support is now near the $105,000 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $104,200 support in the near term. The main support sits at $103,500, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the short term. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $106,200, followed by $105,500. Major Resistance Levels – $108,800 and $109,500.

November has kicked off on a negative note for crypto prices, with Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dipping toward $105,000 on Monday. This decline has sparked a renewed sense of bearish sentiment among investors, and experts caution that conditions could worsen in the coming days. November Deadline Approaches Market expert CryptoBirb recently expressed concerns on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), noting that the market is already ten days into a bearish cycle. According to CryptoBirb, diving into on-chain data, the more alarming the picture appears. Related Reading: Solana Price Drops Below $180 Despite $199M ETF Inflows, What’s Behind the Decline? CryptoBirb’s analysis begins with cycle peak data: it has been 1,078 days since the low in November 2022, which is 101.2% of the crypto cycle complete. Additionally, it has been 563 days since the last Halving, with 45 days remaining within the typical 518 to 580-day peak range.  Alarmingly, the anticipated rally leading to this peak has not materialized, and there are only 17 days left before the window for a peak closes on November 20. Missed breakouts during this time frame have signaled the end of previous bullish cycles. When comparing the current situation to the 2017 cycle, it is noted that Bitcoin reached its peak on December 17, 2017, 1,068 days after its low. With BTC now 1,078 days into the current cycle, the chances of a late top are diminishing with each passing day that the cryptocurrency remains below $113,000.  From a performance standpoint, Bitcoin is down 16% from its all-time high of $126,200 and has only gained 8.2% year-to-date. The market’s leading crypto has faced repeated rejections near the $113,000 to $114,000 range and is currently trading below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of $109,882.  Historically, November typically sees an average gain of 17.5%, with positive performance in 10 out of the last 15 years. However, the expert points that when November begins in the red, it often indicates that the cycle is already shifting. Potential Bullish Factors Amid Ongoing Crypto Concerns Adding to this bearish sentiment, DeFi researcher DeFiIgnas has outlined several factors complicating the crypto market’s trajectory. These include what he calls “the speculative nature of the artificial intelligence (AI) bubble,” the failure of bullish news to invigorate crypto prices, uncertainty surrounding entities that collapsed after the October 10 crash, and the cyclical nature of the market.  Additionally, the selling activity from long-term holders and negative crypto exchange-traded funds (ETF) flows contribute to the prevailing concerns. Related Reading: XRP Bear Signal Triggered: Will The Top Altcoin Drop 70-80% From Here? Despite these challenges, DeFiIgnas also identified some potential bullish factors that could foster recovery instead of further declines.  These include easing liquidity and interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed), a lack of euphoria in the crypto space, slow but steady institutional adoption, and the potential passage of a US crypto market structure bill.  Historically strong performance in the fourth quarter, stablecoin supply at all-time highs, and a recent US trade deal with China could also provide a counterbalance to the prevailing bearish sentiment.

Bitcoin price is again declining below $110,000. BTC could continue to move down if it stays below the $110,000 resistance. Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $109,500 support. The price is trading below $109,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $109,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might continue to move down if it trades below the $107,400 zone. Bitcoin Price Faces Rejection Bitcoin price failed to stay above the $110,500 pivot level and started a fresh decline. BTC dipped below $110,000 and $109,500 to enter a bearish zone. The decline was such that the price traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $106,312 swing low to the $111,000 high. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $109,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading below $109,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. If the bulls attempt a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $109,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $109,800 level and the trend line. The next resistance could be $110,500. A close above the $110,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $111,200 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $113,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $115,000 and $115,500. More Losses In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $109,800 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support is near the $107,400 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $106,312 swing low to the $111,000 high. The first major support is near the $106,500 level. The next support is now near the $105,500 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $104,200 support in the near term.

Recent on-chain data shows that a relevant class of Bitcoin investors known as long-term holders has continued to move out of their market positions. LTHs Actively Switching To Distribution  In a November 1st post on social media platform X, popular on-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci shared an insight into the prevalent structural bias among Bitcoin’s long-term holders. Kesmeci’s analysis hinges on the Long-Term Holder Net Position Change metric, which tracks the net buying or selling behavior of Bitcoin’s long-term investors over a period of 30 days. Related Reading: Bitcoin At A ‘Do-Or-Die’ Level As Cycle Faces First Real Test: Analyst A positive reading is usually interpreted as a sign that the LTHs are in a net accumulation phase, as there are more market participants within this investor class buying Bitcoin than those who are selling. On the flipside, when the Long-Term Holder Net Position Change metric is negative, it means that the LTHs are in a distribution phase. Kesmeci explained in his post that there has been an increasing amount of momentum towards the sell side of the metric. In the highlighted chart, around 400,000 BTC appears to have been sold off in the past 30 days. Interestingly, the LTHs don’t seem to be easing off on their sales — a behavior which stands equally as a source of concern.  In a case where Bitcoin’s long-term investors do desist from selling their holdings, Bitcoin could put in a local price bottom, as this typically indicates renewed interest and ‘smart money’ positioning for the next cycle. However, if this distribution momentum continues to grow, the premier cryptocurrency could continue towards the downside, as its long-term holders continue to inject more bearish pressure. LTH 2.2% Supply Drop Relatively Modest — Analyst In another X post, crypto pundit Darkfost shed light on the implications of Bitcoin’s LTH behavior shift. According to the analyst, the 2.2% “modest reduction” of Bitcoin LTH supply in October is not much to worry about, especially when compared to the levels seen in 2024.  As of March 2024, Bitcoin’s LTH supply dropped by approximately 5.05%. In December, there was an even higher decline of about 5.2%. Darkfost implied that the present distribution the market is seeing could therefore be a result of early profit taking, where the market could soon see a rebound of the Bitcoin price.  Nonetheless, the long-term holder net position’s trend is one that should be monitored, as a move back towards neutral readings could signal the start of an accumulation phase and subsequent price reversal to the upside. As of this writing, BTC is valued at approximately $110,750, with no significant movement in the past 24 hours.

The price of Bitcoin closed the historically bullish month of October on a loss for the first time in seven years. While the month started in typical fashion—on a bullish tear, the intense downturn didn’t begin until October 10, when US President Donald Trump threatened new trade tariffs on China. Now, although the United States and China seem to have found a temporary truce, the cryptocurrency market has been unable to find similar relief. In fact, the latest on-chain data suggests that US investors are still less optimistic about the digital asset market, specifically Bitcoin. Negative Coinbase Gap Premium Coincides With Massive ETF Outflows  In a November 1st post on social media platform X, crypto analyst Maartunn revealed that the world’s largest cryptocurrency has seen extremely low demand in the United States in recent days. The relevant indicator here is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which has entered a deep red territory in the past few days. Related Reading: Bitmine Buys 44,036 Ethereum Worth $166M During Market Dip – Details This on-chain metric measures the difference between the Bitcoin price on the US-based Coinbase exchange (USD pair) and the global Binance exchange (USDT pair). A positive difference indicates that the flagship cryptocurrency has a higher value on Coinbase than on Binance. When the Coinbase Premium Gap is positive, it implies that US-based investors are purchasing Bitcoin aggressively. On the flip side, a negative Coinbase Premium Gap typically indicates heavy selling pressure for the market leader. According to data highlighted by Maartunn, this on-chain metric is back around -$80, reflecting significant selling pressure from the US institutional players. This reduced demand can be seen with the disappointing performance of the US-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in recent days. Data from SoSoValue shows the Bitcoin ETFs registered a total net outflow of more than $191 million on Friday. This marked the third consecutive day of negative outflows, having seen withdrawals of nearly $500 million each on Wednesday and Thursday. From a historical perspective, a negative Coinbase Premium Gap is often correlated with periods of sluggish or downward movement for the BTC price. Hence, with the current intense selling pressure from large US investors, it is difficult to see the premier cryptocurrency making a strong recovery in the coming days. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC sits just above $110,200, reflecting a measly 0.9% jump in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency is down exactly 1% in the last seven days.

After the market-wide downturn on October 10, the Bitcoin price showed no definite direction for the rest of the historically bullish month. At the moment, the premier cryptocurrency is struggling to gather any significant momentum to the upside. However, recent on-chain evaluation suggests that this period of relative silence could represent a springboard for the cryptocurrency’s sustained upswing. Sender/Receiver Ratio Falls To One-Year Low  In a recent Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, pseudonymous analyst CryptoOnchain shared an interesting insight into Bitcoin’s future trajectory, leaning towards a bullish hypothesis in the report. The relevant on-chain indicator here is the Bitcoin Sender/Receiver Address Ratio, which compares the number of active sending (selling) addresses to receiving (buying) addresses. This metric acts as a means to gauge the prevalent market sentiment within a period of time.  Related Reading: Altcoin Season Loading: Bullish Factors That Point To A Massive Surge A high ratio (with a reading above 1) indicates that there are more sending addresses compared to the buying addresses. As a result, there is expectedly greater selling pressure in this market condition. On the other hand, a low ratio (a reading approaching 1 and levels below) reflects the preponderance of buying addresses.  CryptoOnchain reported that Bitcoin’s Sender/Receiver ratio on Binance has recently fallen to 1.34 — its lowest level in the past year. As previously explained, when this ratio falls to levels such as it currently reads, it usually indicates that there are more buying addresses relative to the amount of selling addresses in the market.  This shift in investor leanings typically signals an accumulation phase, where more investors are willing to acquire Bitcoin on exchanges.  Interestingly, the analyst also referenced historical evidence, explaining that periods where this shift in market sentiment occurred often preceded the establishment of local price bottoms. As of late 2024, the Sender/Receiver ratio fell to levels around 1.3, with significant upward movement following suit, and a similar pattern was seen in early 2023. According to CryptoOnchain, this current consolidation phase could signal that the market’s foundation is gaining strength. Thus, if history is anything to go by, Bitcoin’s price could see an immense upward boost in the days to come — one which could sponsor the world’s leading asset to see a fine amount of growth in the mid-term.  Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, Bitcoin is worth approximately $109,899, reflecting no significant movement in the past day. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is down by nearly 2% in the past seven days.

While Bitcoin’s price action points to a relative scarcity of spot activity, recent on-chain data reveals an increasingly dynamic atmosphere within its futures market, especially on the Binance network. Related Reading: Bitcoin October Slump: Fourth Worst On Record Since 2013, Per Fortune Analysis Binance Dominates Futures Market As Trader Sentiment Sees Structural Shift In a recent post on the CryptoQuant platform, crypto education institution XWIN Research Japan shares insights into developments in the Bitcoin futures market, with their key focus being the Binance network. According to the research institution, the world’s leading crypto exchange is maintaining its reputation after reaching its record high of $1.88 trillion in trading volume. At the same time, the trader sentiment within Bitcoin’s futures market evidently appears to be undergoing a transition, with data from the Bitcoin: Futures Taker CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta, 90-Day) informing the supposition. For context, this metric tracks the net difference between taker buy volume and taker sell volume over 90 days, revealing if the traders in the futures market are predominantly adding to its buying pressure or contributing to its selling pressure. XWIN Research points out that as of the middle of 2025, Bitcoin’s taker buy volume dominated the futures market, as most traders accumulated positions. This period of accumulation, notes the analyst, was seen as the flagship cryptocurrency climbed above $100,000. However, from late August to the present, there has been a re-emergence of taker sell pressure, signaling the predominance of profit takers in the market. Related Reading: Ethereum Support Band Under Pressure — Can Bulls Revive Momentum From $3,700? What This Means For Price Contrary to what this structural shift might be interpreted as, the educational institution explains that the market seems instead to be becoming more mature. A typical mature market, as XWIN Research points out, is one where the market participants manage their exposure, rather than chase any or all price spikes.  The reappearance of taker sell pressure therefore signifies a growing inclination among traders to protect their gains nested within the $110,000-$115,000 price range. Historically, this kind of “moderation” has often been a sign of long-term strength. Binance’s $1.88 trillion in trading volume also lends credence to this view, as it reveals the presence of solid institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term growth. Aside from institutional backing, this trading volume also puts into perspective the width of global participation in the Bitcoin derivatives market. In the long run, the Bitcoin market could be in the early phases of a sustained and long-lasting expansion. At press time, Bitcoin is worth approximately $110,110. The premier cryptocurrency shows a slight growth of 0.40% in 24 hours. Also reflecting the online asset’s sideways movement is its net loss of 1.36% over the past seven days.

On-chain data shows Bitcoin is currently retesting a historically significant level that has often decided the course of the cryptocurrency’s price. Bitcoin Is Retesting The 0.85 Supply Quantile In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about how Bitcoin is retesting a level that has historically been a “make-or-break” one for the asset. Related Reading: Dogecoin Plunges To $0.18 As Whales Sell 440 Million DOGE The level in question is part of Glassnode’s “Supply Quantiles Cost Basis Model.” The model reflects price levels corresponding to important investor profitability thresholds. Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows how the levels of this model have changed over the last few years. Looks like BTC is currently trading around the middle band | Source: Glassnode on X As is visible in the graph, Bitcoin surged above the 0.95 quantile during the recent rally to the all-time high (ATH). This level corresponds to 95% of the supply being in profit. With the market downturn that has followed since, however, the cryptocurrency has slipped under the level. Recently, the asset has been making retests of the 0.85 quantile, situated at $109,000. BTC has already seen brief drops below this mark, but so far, it has managed to climb back above it each time. At present, the coin is trading right around the level, indicating that about 85% of the supply is carrying a net unrealized gain. In the past, Bitcoin’s interactions with this level have tended to carry consequences for its trajectory. “Holding it has sparked major rallies, but losing it often sees a slide toward the 0.75 band,” noted Glassnode. The 0.75 quantile is equivalent to $98,000 at the moment. It now remains to be seen whether BTC can hold above the 0.85 quantile, or if a retrace to this level is coming. In some other news, the latest decline in Bitcoin below $107,000 came alongside negative values on the Coinbase Premium Gap, as pointed out by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in an X post. The Coinbase Premium Gap measures the difference between the Bitcoin price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair). The metric basically tells us about how the behavior of the users on the former exchange differ from that of the latter platform. Related Reading: Bitcoin Struggles To Hold Key Support: Could $88,000 Be Next? As the below chart shows, the metric was at positive levels on Wednesday, but the indicator turned red on Thursday. The trend would imply that Coinbase traders, primarily made up of American institutional entities, sold the cryptocurrency at a higher intensity than Binance’s global whales during the Bitcoin drawdown. BTC Price Since the wave of selling on Coinbase, Bitcoin has witnessed some recovery back to the $109,500 level, reclaiming the 0.85 quantile once again.

As October comes to a close, Bitcoin (BTC) has disappointed many who had anticipated the month to be a strong one for the cryptocurrency, often referred to as “Uptober” due to its historically positive performance. Instead, Bitcoin finished the month down, creating a gap of approximately 13% from its all-time high.  Historical Trends Suggest Bitcoin Could Rebound Joel Kruger, a market strategist at LMAX Group, noted that while October was a letdown compared to historical trends, it’s essential to contextualize the price movements. He remarked, “Prices have held up well overall, especially after a September that actually bucked the usual weakness.” Related Reading: Coinbase, Strategy Mark Major Profit Surges In Q3: Unveiling The Numbers Notably, on the 6th of this month, the market’s leading cryptocurrency reached an all-time high just beyond $126,000. Additionally, the current downturn has failed to erase the year-to-date gains, with Bitcoin still recording a 55% uptrend during this period. However, according to a recent analysis by Fortune, this October marks the fourth-worst performance for Bitcoin since 2013 and the worst in the past seven years. Bitcoin’s performance lagged behind that of the S&P 500, which saw a gain of roughly 2.3% during the same period.  Despite this under performance, Kruger remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s potential recovery in the upcoming months. “Historically, Q4 has been one of the best periods for crypto performance,” he stated, expressing hope for a push toward record highs for both Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) as the year draws to a close. October Challenges The month proved challenging not only in terms of price but also due to significant market events. Adam McCarthy, a senior research analyst at digital market data provider Kaiko, observed that cryptocurrencies entered October tracking gold and stocks at near all-time highs. However, as uncertainty crept into the market, investors did not flow back into Bitcoin as anticipated.  In addition, October witnessed the largest liquidation event in cryptocurrency history, triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, alongside threats of export controls on crucial software. Related Reading: dYdX Eyes US Market Entry: Decentralized Crypto Exchange Plans Year-End Debut, Reuters McCarthy commented on the impact of this liquidation, stating, “That washout on the 10th really reminded people that this asset class is very narrow.” He emphasized that even dominant cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum can experience sharp drawdowns, citing instances of 10% declines occurring in just 15 to 20 minutes. Amid these developments, concerns have been raised by several figures regarding the high valuations in equity markets. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recently warned of a heightened risk of a significant correction in the US stock market within the next six months to two years.  Jake Ostrovskis, head of trading at Wintermute’s over-the-counter desk, noted that participants in the market remain hesitant as they grapple with the implications of the largest liquidation event on record. He added that this caution persists amid ongoing speculation about vulnerabilities that might still exist within the financial system. When writing, BTC was trading at $109,688, losing its nearest support floor of $110,000.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled below the $110,000 level in a sharp move that rattled markets and triggered a wave of short-term panic selling. The sudden decline followed an initial post-Fed volatility spike, as traders reacted to the US Federal Reserve’s 25bps rate cut and announcement of an impending end to quantitative tightening. With uncertainty still lingering, BTC briefly slipped into a risk-off spiral, testing investor conviction and flushing out leveraged positions in the process. Related Reading: $780M Worth of Ethereum Pulled From Exchanges – Biggest Withdrawal Spike in Weeks Despite the market turbulence, several analysts argue this move may represent a classic shakeout, rather than the beginning of a larger breakdown. Historically, Bitcoin has often seen sharp pullbacks immediately before renewed upside momentum, especially during early liquidity-expansion phases. For now, all eyes are on whether Bitcoin can stabilize and reclaim the $110K zone, a level that has repeatedly acted as a pivot throughout the past month. As markets digest the Fed’s decision, the focus turns to whether Bitcoin can wake up from this sudden sell-off and reclaim strength heading into November. PoC Becomes Critical Battleground as Market Signals Indecision According to top analyst On-chain Mind, Bitcoin’s current price structure is being defined by a major volume cluster centered around $117,000, which now serves as the Point of Control (PoC) in the local market profile. This level represents the price zone with the highest traded volume in the recent range — effectively the point where buyers and sellers have shown the strongest interest and where the market has spent considerable time balancing liquidity. In practical terms, the PoC functions as a fair value zone for market participants. When the price trades below it, bulls need to reclaim the level to regain trend strength; when the price trades above it, the zone tends to act as support. Today, BTC remains beneath the $117K PoC, signaling that the market has yet to re-establish bullish dominance after the recent shakeout. On-chain Mind notes that reclaiming $117K would likely trigger renewed momentum, opening the door for a retest of the $120K–$123K range. Until then, however, the structure remains indecisive, with price hovering in a neutral zone where neither bulls nor bears hold a clear advantage. This aligns with broader market behavior: reduced leverage, mixed sentiment, and trader caution following aggressive liquidations earlier in October. The market is digesting macro shifts, recalibrating position sizes, and waiting for a clearer signal. If Bitcoin can stabilize above recent support and begin rotating back toward the PoC, reclaiming $117K could mark the moment the next leg up begins.

The price managed to reclaim the $110K level, suggesting buyers stepped in at intraday lows around $108,500, an important local demand zone that has repeatedly supported the price since mid-October. However, the recovery remains fragile, with BTC now approaching a cluster of short-term resistance levels. The 50-period EMA sits just above the current price, and the 100- and 200-period moving averages remain overhead, stacked bearishly. This alignment indicates that momentum has not fully shifted back to the bulls yet. To regain control, BTC must break above $112,000–$113,000, where multiple moving averages converge and prior support now acts as resistance. Clearing this zone would open the path toward the critical $117,500 Point of Control — the key level bulls need to reclaim to re-establish medium-term strength.

For now, BTC remains in a neutral recovery posture, trying to build a base while navigating overhead pressure from macro uncertainty and recent leverage unwinds.

The crypto community has long referred to October as Uptober, a nickname earned through Bitcoin’s consistent history of strong monthly performances. The trend has been so reliable that the month became synonymous with price surges.  Bitcoin has always closed October in profit over the previous seven years, a record streak unmatched by any other month in its history. However, October 2025 appears to be challenging that reputation. As the month draws to an end, Bitcoin is roughly 4% below its monthly open, and October might finally end in red territory for the first time since 2018. Bitcoin Might Close October In Red Bitcoin’s price opened October at $114,079, and its sentiment was overwhelmingly bullish at the beginning of the month, carrying over a positive 5% monthly close in September. This bullish sentiment saw the leading cryptocurrency break above $126,000 for the first time before finally setting a new all-time high of $126,080 on October 6. The move strengthened hopes that Uptober would live up to its name once again.  Related Reading: Analyst Reveals What Traders Are Missing After The Bitcoin Price Spike To $116,000 However, the bullish momentum cooled off rapidly, with Bitcoin slipping below $120,000 very quickly. By the middle of the month, Bitcoin witnessed a flash crash that caused its price to fall as low as $101,000 in a quick move. As it stands, Bitcoin is now consolidating near $110,000 by late October, and it can only register a monthly close above this level. The last time Bitcoin closed October in the red was in 2018, when it closed at $6,303, which is about 4% below its October open of $6,958. That year was during the height of a prolonged bear cycle, when the crypto market was struggling to recover from the massive 2017 rally. Bitcoin’s price had already suffered consecutive down months, and October’s decline was followed by an even more brutal 36.4% crash in November, the steepest monthly loss in the cryptocurrency’s history. Could November Be Different This Time? The question now is whether Bitcoin might repeat this downtrend in November 2025. If history were to repeat itself, like it always does in the crypto market, a negative October close could precede another correction in November. However, the answer might not be as straightforward.  Related Reading: 100% Of Bitcoin Bull Market Peak Indicators Remain Untouched, Is There Still Room To Run? Unlike in 2018, Bitcoin’s current market structure is supported by several bullish fundamentals. Institutional interest through Spot Bitcoin ETFs, exchange outflows, and on-chain data shows that long-term holders are not selling aggressively. Even as the price is consolidating around $110,000, volatility is lower than during previous market tops, and this indicates a phase of cooling before another breakout.  Even if the month closes in red, the overall bullish trajectory of Bitcoin is intact. Bitcoin continues to hold its dominance and attract capital inflows. The only sure way Bitcoin might end November 2025 in red is if Spot Bitcoin ETFs perform very poorly throughout the month. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $109,700. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin mining is entering a new era in Japan, where it’s no longer viewed as an energy drain. The transformation is being spearheaded by Canaan (CAN), a forward-thinking initiative that integrates BTC mining into Japan’s renewable energy ecosystem to balance power demand and supply. This Is How Bitcoin Fits Into National Energy Policy In an X post, crypto analyst TheGentleTraveler has shed light on a significant and innovative development at the intersection of Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure. CAN (Canaan Inc.) has announced a 4.5 MW smart BTC mining deployment set to power Japan’s energy grid. Related Reading: China’s Bitcoin Mining Isn’t Dead — It’s The World’s No. 3 Contributor According to TheGentleTraveler, CAN has secured a 4.5 MW contract in Japan to deploy its advanced Avalon A1566HA hydro-cooled mining servers for power-grid load balancing and energy-efficiency optimization. The project, which runs in collaboration with a major Japanese utility, will use Canaan’s smart-control chip capable of dynamically adjusting frequency, hashrate, and voltage in real time. This flexibility helps to stabilize the grid amidst rising AI and residential power demand. The GentleTraveler noted that this initiative reflects Canaan’s expanding strategic role, which combines BTC mining with renewable energy and AI infrastructure. Furthermore, it aligns seamlessly with Japan’s recent crypto-asset regulatory reforms. Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang emphasized that this technology allows utilities to utilize BTC mining as a digital load balancer. Zhang confirmed that similar deployments have already been launched in the Netherlands, with further expansions planned for 2026. Despite this groundbreaking news, CAN’s stock is currently down – 7% after the announcement. This short-term dip is attributed to a combination of the general weakness in the broader BTC sector and the At-The-Market (ATM) announced by Canaan last Friday. How Bitcoin Miners Become Long-Term Investors A key observer in the Bitcoin landscape, GoMining, has stated that every block mined secures the network and strengthens BTC’s role in the modern economy. GoMining has highlighted several standout developments from the past week that collectively underscore this accelerating trend of institutional and sovereign adoption. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selloff: BTC.com Pool Sent 186,000 BTC To Binance In October The expert first draws attention to the strategic actions of mining companies in the US, exemplified by American Bitcoin Corp boosting its reserves to 3,865 BTC. According to GoMining, this is proof that miners are not just securing the network; they are becoming long-term institutional holders. Meanwhile, France’s National Assembly has advanced a bill to create a national BTC reserve, a signal that sovereign adoption is moving from concept to policy. Furthermore, GoMining explains that the public companies now collectively hold over $117 billion in BTC, representing a substantial 38% increase in Q3 alone. Such a surge indicates a growing trend where corporate balance sheets are becoming part of BTC’s security layer. GoMining concluded that every hash is a vote for an open institutional future.

Despite the Federal Reserve (Fed)’s announcement of a 25-basis-point rate cut, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped nearly 4% in the past 24 hours, losing its local range low for the first time in a week. Some analysts have warned that this week’s close is crucial for the flagship crypto’s short-term performance. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Prepares For ‘Last Euphoric Run’ As Whales Go On $135M Buying Spree Bitcoin Price Eyes Crucial Weekly Close On Thursday, Bitcoin dropped below the recently reclaimed $110,000 area, hitting a one-week low of $106,700. Notably, the cryptocurrency has been trading within the $108,000-$120,000 price range since July, but has failed to reclaim the range highs after the early October correction. Amid this performance, Ted Pillows suggested that the market volatility was expected, as BTC has shown a similar price action since the start of Q3. The analyst explained that Bitcoin has dropped 6%-8% after the last three Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, but it has also made a new all-time high (ATH) before the next one. According to the chart, BTC’s price reached its local bottom 5-9 days after the meeting, quickly recovering from the drop and rallying to new highs in the coming weeks. As price retests the $106,000 area, Ted predicted that a repeat of the same playbook could happen. However, he warned that Bitcoin must reclaim the $113,500 in the coming days to prevent a larger pullback. “A weekly close below that level will increase the likelihood of a bigger correction,” the analyst explained. Similarly, Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin must close the week above the $114,500 to turn this level back into support. He noted that after the recent performance, a volatile retest of this level would be “perfectly fine” as long price closes above this crucial level at the end of the week. Confirming the Range Low of ~$114k as support would confirm re-entry into the Range, kickstart consolidation within the Range again, and enable a move across it towards the Range High of ~$119000 (red) in an effort to breakout from it and challenge $120k+ once again. Is BTC’s End-Of-Year Rally Still On? Michaël van de Poppe affirmed that $112,000 is the next key area to break before a new ATH, as it has been a crucial resistance level in the daily timeframe for the past few weeks. Per the post, a breakout from this area could set the base for a retest of the $119,000-$120,000 zone. On the contrary, a rejection from this level could send the price toward the $103,000 mark or lower, he warned. “I do think we’ll see a new ATH in November,” the market watcher added.” Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that BTC is “just playing ping pong” between its key levels and will continue to move within its range until one of the boundaries is successfully broken. Related Reading: Bitwise CIO Predicts Solana Staking ETF Will Be ‘Huge’ As First Day Volume Hits $56M The trader added that November is one of Bitcoin’s best months based on historical performance, which could suggest that a price rally could be near. Notably, 8 out of 12 Novembers have closed in green, with a median return of 10.82%, according to CoinGlass data. Moreover, he noted that the last two months of the year are when the three previous bull runs topped and the past two bear markets bottomed. “Whether it’s on the bullish or bearish side, volatility and big market pivots have been the theme into the end of the year,” he concluded.

Bitcoin has struggled to reclaim the short-term holder Realized Price, a key on-chain level. Here’s where the next major support line lies for the asset. Bitcoin Has Again Dipped Below STH Realized Price In its latest weekly report, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about some key Realized Price levels for Bitcoin. The “Realized Price” here refers to an indicator that measures the cost basis of the average investor or address on the BTC network. Related Reading: XRP Indicator That Nailed Recent Reversals Has Flashed Again When the metric is trading above the asset’s price, it means the holders as a whole are sitting on a net unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being below the spot BTC value implies the dominance of loss on the blockchain. The Realized Price of the entire network is generally not useful, as often, the cryptocurrency’s price trades significantly over it. The reason behind this lies in the fact that a notable part of the asset’s supply has been dormant for years, possessing a cost basis far below today’s price. In fact, a chunk of this dormant supply will never return to circulation, as the wallets holding such tokens have had their keys become permanently inaccessible. To account for this, Glassnode came up with the “Active Realized Price,” a metric that only tracks the cost basis of the supply that can be considered economically active. Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows how the Realized Price and Active Realized Price of Bitcoin have changed since the last bull market. As is visible in the graph, Bitcoin last interacted with the Realized Price in 2023. Since finding a rebound at it back then, the coin has only moved away from the line. The cryptocurrency has been trading much closer to the Active Realized Price since breaking above it in late 2023, but even in its case, the gap is still notable. A version of the indicator that BTC regularly interacts with, however, is the third type listed on the chart: the short-term holder cost basis. Short-term holders (STHs) refer to the Bitcoin investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. This cohort represents the recent buyers, who can be reactive to changes in the market. The Realized Price of the group, which is often considered a divider between bullish and bearish trends, is currently located at $113,100. Bitcoin first fell below this mark during its crash earlier in the month, but the recovery surge took it back above the line. Though the latest retracement has once again brought the asset under it. “Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has struggled to close a weekly candle above this key level, raising the risk of further weakness ahead,” noted Glassnode. The next on-chain support level is the Active Realized Price, currently valued at $88,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Cost Basis Map Reveals Key War Zone Between Bulls & Bears It now remains to be seen whether BTC can recover above the STH Realized Price, or if a deeper correction is coming.

Bitcoin (BTC) has seen heightened volatility following the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points and announce the official end of quantitative tightening (QT) by December 1st. The move marks a pivotal shift in US monetary policy as the central bank signals the beginning of a more supportive liquidity cycle after months of restrictive financial conditions. Traders reacted sharply across risk assets, with Bitcoin initially spiking before retracing as markets reassessed the implications of renewed liquidity and shifting economic expectations. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks Above STH Realized Price For The First Time In Weeks – What’s Next? Meanwhile, fresh data from CryptoQuant highlights a powerful underlying trend in the Bitcoin market. October has witnessed a meaningful surge in spot trading activity, particularly on Binance, where participation has climbed sharply. Across major centralized exchanges, Bitcoin spot volume surpassed $300 billion this month, with Binance alone accounting for $174 billion. This makes October the second-highest spot volume month of the year, underscoring renewed trader confidence and a shift toward direct Bitcoin exposure rather than leveraged speculation. This strengthening in spot market flows signals improving market structure and growing conviction among participants. With liquidity expected to increase heading into year-end, investors are positioning for what could be the next major phase in Bitcoin’s macro-driven cycle. Bitcoin Spot Market Strength Signals Healthier Market Structure According to top analyst Darkfost, the recent surge in Bitcoin spot volume underscores a growing wave of participation from both retail traders and institutional players, who have become increasingly active outside leveraged markets. This shift is most visible on Binance, which continues to dominate spot trading across centralized exchanges. Its deep liquidity, global retail base, and institutional pipelines remain unmatched, reinforcing its position as the primary venue for real Bitcoin demand. One key catalyst behind this pivot toward spot exposure was the historic liquidation event on October 10th—the largest in crypto history. The magnitude of that wipeout forced many traders to reassess risk. It became a clear reminder that excessive leverage can amplify losses far more quickly than it generates gains, especially in a market as volatile and structurally reflexive as Bitcoin. In response, market participants appear to have shifted toward a more conservative posture. Choosing to accumulate BTC directly rather than chase high-leverage positions. This trend is meaningful for Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. A market driven primarily by spot flows instead of derivatives tends to be more stable, more sustainable, and less prone to sudden liquidation cascades. Elevated spot participation also signals genuine organic demand, rather than speculative interest reliant on borrowed capital. Historically, periods where spot volume leads have aligned with structural accumulation phases and strengthened market bottoms. This could be laying the foundation for durable bull cycles. If this rotation continues, Bitcoin may be entering a phase defined by healthier price discovery and stronger investor conviction. Supported by growing liquidity and improved market resilience. An encouraging backdrop as the macro environment shifts in favor of risk assets. Related Reading: Ethereum ICO Whale Awakens After 8 Years – 1,500 ETH Sent to Kraken After 8 Years Bitcoin Price Pulls Back Toward Key Support Zone Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $110,800 after facing firm rejection at the $117,500 resistance level earlier this week. The 4-hour chart shows BTC rolling over from this supply zone and dropping below the 50-period moving average. Signaling weakening short-term momentum. Price is now testing a critical support range between $110,000 and $111,000, which previously acted as a key demand zone in mid-October. Below current levels, the 100-period (green) and 200-period (red) moving averages sit around $109,500–$108,500, forming a critical confluence of support. If Bitcoin can hold this region, it may reset and attempt another push higher once market volatility settles post-Fed. A decisive break below $108,000 would likely expose BTC to deeper downside. Opening the door to a move toward $105,000 or even $102,500.

Despite recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, Bitcoin’s price reacted unexpectedly, declining when many anticipated a rise. However, market analyst Crypto Birb has identified ten indicators suggesting a potential surge may be on the horizon. Bitcoin Price Holds Above Key Moving Averages At the time of the expert’s post, BTC traded at $112,000. He pointed that with exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gaining traction and market fear subsiding, the Bitcoin price appears to be consolidating before a significant upward movement, indicating that a breakout is imminent. Currently, the Bitcoin price trades comfortably above the 50-week simple moving average (SMA) of $102,934 and the 200-week SMA of $54,756. The correlation with the S&P 500 stands at -0.02, suggesting that Bitcoin’s movements are largely independent of broader equity market trends.  Related Reading: HYPE Nears All-Time High With HyperEVM Integration, Can Buybacks Sustain the Rally? On the daily chart, Bitcoin is supported by the 200-day SMA at $109,267 and a key trend line at $113,100. The relative strength index (RSI) is neutral at 50, while the average true range (ATR) has decreased to 3,495, indicating a calmer market environment.  In terms of short-term bias, the market shows balance but is not bullish yet. The CTF Trailer indicates a bearish mode with a stop at $115,623, while the higher time frame trailer reflects a bullish mode with a stop at $114,601.  Currently, Bitcoin’s trading range is between $110,000 and $117,800, and this compression indicates that an equilibrium is forming. The next significant movement is expected to occur once this range is broken. Calm Before The Storm? Sentiment within the market appears balanced, with the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 51, which reflects a neutral stance. Crypto Birb asserts that emotions have reset following last week’s spike in fear, creating a stable environment for sustainable price movements. Volatility is also cooling off, with a 50-day volatility of 3,080 and an ATR of 3,495. This contraction in trading range suggests that traders are reloading positions rather than capitulating, and history shows that periods of calm consolidation often precede volatility shocks. On the mining front, the economic landscape is looking favorable, with mining costs at $106,400 and a ratio of 0.94, indicating that miners remain moderately profitable after last week’s compression. Stable costs suggest no immediate pressure for forced selling, and network fundamentals remain solid. Looking at the October outlook, the month-to-date performance shows a minor decline of 0.53%, which is still an improvement over the typical historic October average of 19.78%. This suggests a healthy reset within an otherwise strong seasonal backdrop. A Potential 51% Surge Ahead?  The expert further highlighted that historically, the fourth quarter has been bullish for the Bitcoin price, with an average gain of 51.04% over the past 15 years, resulting in nine winning years. If the current structure holds, Q4 is poised to remain a high-probability accumulation zone.

The total assets under management have reached $24.88 billion, and rising liquidity in altcoins complements the ongoing flows into Bitcoin, supporting a narrative of market rotation. At the time of writing, however, the Bitcoin price has retraced back towards $110,439. Yet, still inside its current consolidation range that could result in a new uptrend for the leading crypto.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a 25-basis-point rate cut from the previous rate of 4.25%, aligning with market expectations. Despite this bullish development being highly anticipated by top experts as the best catalyst for the remainder of the year, Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, and Ethereum (ETH) led the market downturn following the announcement.  Fed Chair Signals Uncertainty Over Further Rate Cuts The selloff intensified after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell indicated during his press conference that another interest-rate cut in December “is not a foregone conclusion.” This uncertainty has contributed to market volatility, as both cryptocurrencies and stocks have rallied this year in anticipation of lower interest rates. If the Fed does not implement further rate cuts in December, it could lead to a rebound in the dollar, which would be detrimental for Bitcoin bulls. Related Reading: Avalanche Expands In Asia — Japan’s Biggest Card Processor Joins The Network Analyst Manuel Villegas from Julius Baer noted that options-derived implied movements for US equity indices suggest significant shifts around upcoming macroeconomic reports. He advised crypto investors to prepare for potential volatility. However, market expert Timothy Peterson provided further insights on social media site X (formerly Twitter), predicting that the Bitcoin price could rise up to 12% over the next week, meaning that the leading crypto could surge toward $123,000.  Analyst Foresees Positive Momentum For Bitcoin In his analysis, Peterson highlighted Bitcoin’s performance surrounding Federal Reserve Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings and noted that since 2023, Bitcoin’s average movement after such meetings has been about 1.5 times its prior week’s performance.  Related Reading: HBAR Slides 6% in 24 Hours as NYSE Listing Fails to Spark Rally, But Analysts Still See Upside With Bitcoin having gained 4% in the week leading up to the Fed’s decision, Peterson anticipates a subsequent increase of around 7%, with a potential range of 0-15%.  The FOMC, which sets US interest rates and guides monetary policy, often sees markets trade cautiously before meetings, followed by reactions once the uncertainty is resolved, with the expert concluding that despite the growing uncertainty, Bitcoin and the broader market could see a new leg up near record highs.

The Bitcoin market landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with new developments emerging overnight that are reshaping short-term sentiment and long-term investor positioning across spot and derivatives markets. Price action remains steady, while on-chain and institutional signals are shifting. What Happened With Bitcoin Over The Last 24 Hours? In an X post, a crypto analyst, Luca, has offered insights on Bitcoin’s recent market movement. Over the past 24 hours, several notable developments in the BTC space have occurred. While BTC price action has been moving lower, funding rates have also declined, a combination that suggests long positions are being flushed out of the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Trades Sideways — Consolidation Above Support Could Fuel Next Upside However, Luca explains that the Open Interest (OI) has actually increased, pointing to something entirely different and signaling that bears are actively doubling down, not bulls getting liquidated. He believes that the recent drop isn’t driven by longs getting flushed, but by aggressive short positioning, as traders are trying to front-run a potential breakdown. Historically, this kind of setup often fuels the next major move up, as excessive short exposure creates the perfect conditions for a short squeeze. A full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has also mentioned that the Bitcoin price action, funding rate, and open interest have barely changed this month. Meanwhile, BTC has remained flat in October, despite reaching its first new all-time highs, and then BTC pulled back up to 20% lower. Daan further highlighted that the neutrality of the funding rate has largely traded at its levels from the past two to three months, particularly dropping back to the level last seen in July, which is the only major change in the movement. This shows that leverage has been reduced, especially compared to when BTC was trading at similar prices in August and September. Bitcoin Derivatives Market Hit The Reset Button The Bitcoin funding flip is officially in, and it might be the signal the market has been waiting for. A popular crypto news source, CryptosRus, has revealed that a negative funding rate has just wiped the market clean. While leverage was flushed out, shorts got paid, and open interest cooled off. This is exactly the kind of deep reset the market needed, and now the sign of recovery is back in the green.

BTC saw this same move in June and September, which is currently happening again. CryptosRus further noted that since October 22, the funding has been steadily climbing back above zero, but the BTC price has been consolidating. Such a combination feels like the calm before the next big move. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Adez has revealed what most traders are missing following the Bitcoin price rally to $116,000 earlier this week. The analyst suggested there is no reason to be bullish right now, as BTC is likely to decline further before breaking out to the upside.  What Traders Are Missing From The Bitcoin Price Action In an X post, Adez noted that the Bitcoin price pumped from around $111,000 to $115,500 and that everyone thinks a breakout is happening. However, the analyst opined that the rally was just a trap. He explained that BTC actually swept the Value Area High at $114,600, but the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) barely moved.  Related Reading: 100% Of Bitcoin Bull Market Peak Indicators Remain Untouched, Is There Still Room To Run? Adez further revealed that the open interest was completely flat, indicating that zero money came in for the move on Binance. The funding rate was also still at 0.01%, which is “dead neutral,” and nobody was excited about the Bitcoin price rally. In other words, he explained that the breakout happened with no institutional support, no new capital, and no retail FOMO, which is why the analyst believes the move was just a liquidity grab.  As to what happens next, Adez stated that this is a classic pattern after sweeping resistance with weak conviction, which leads to a sharp reversal. He urged investors and traders to watch the next few H4 candles to see if the Bitcoin price rejects back below $114,600, forms a lower low, and the CVD starts dropping.  For a break of structure to be confirmed, the Bitcoin price needs to break below the H1 at 114,839 and then the H4 at 113,560. Once that happens, Adez predicts that there is an 85% probability that BTC will head to the real support between $104,000 and $106,000 within seven to ten days. Notably, BTC has broken these two levels and may now be at risk of dropping to these support levels as the analyst has predicted.  Why This Price Action Is Plausible Adez explained that this Bitcoin price action makes sense because November is historically 60% bullish and that Q4 has averaged 65% wins. However, he noted that these rallies didn’t start from thin air at $115,000. Instead, they start from value zones where institutions can accumulate before BTC rallies.  Related Reading: Here’s How High The Bitcoin Price Would Be If It Catches Up With The Stock Market The analyst highlighted $109,000 as the point of control, while between $104,000 and $106,000 is the Value Area Low, where there are also billions in buy orders. He added that the current Bitcoin price action is floating above real support, which is exactly where smart money dumps before the real move begins.  As such, Adez expects retail to buy the breakout at $115,000 and get stopped out on the reversal. Then, they miss the real entry between $104,000 and $106,000. On the other hand, Smart Money sells into this pump, waits for the sweep down, then loads up at between $104,000 and $106,000 and rides the Bitcoin price rally to above $130,000.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $113,000, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The second part of the year has seen a notable surge in the US stock market, while Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market has faced its share of uncertainty and significant corrections.  With the Nasdaq recently surpassing the 26,000 mark, leading analysts are now suggesting that this milestone could be a clear indicator for Bitcoin to finish the year at new highs. What Historical Patterns Indicate According to experts at The Bull Theory, the pattern observed with the Nasdaq reaching all-time highs typically suggests a flow of liquidity, an increased risk appetite, and a shift of capital into growth assets. As this phase develops, it often sets the stage for Bitcoin’s next significant movement. Related Reading: China Intensifies Crypto Crackdown With Latest Warning Against Stablecoins Data compiled by the analysts supports this assertion. Historically, in the first 30 days following a Nasdaq all-time high, Bitcoin has averaged a gain of approximately 7%. This return tends to grow, reaching about 14% within 60 days and climbing to an average of 25% by the 90-day mark.  This pattern is not merely coincidental; it reflects a capital rotation where liquidity does not disappear but instead shifts from traditional markets into higher-risk assets like Bitcoin.  The current situation appears to follow a similar trajectory. The Nasdaq’s rise to 26,000 indicates a wave of liquidity building beneath the surface. With rate cuts beginning and quantitative tightening coming to an end, global capital is once again seeking yield.  This scenario mirrors the conditions that contributed to Bitcoin’s significant breakouts in previous years, particularly in 2017, 2020, and 2023. As such, the analysts note that the next four to five months may represent an acceleration phase for Bitcoin, coinciding with a potential pause in equities, which could lead to crypto becoming the primary outlet for liquidity.  Bitcoin Poised For Breakout Similar To 2020-2021 Cycle Analysts like Ash Crypto also noted on social media that the BTC/NASDAQ weekly chart is revealing a repeating pattern reminiscent of the 2020-2021 cycle, during which Bitcoin significantly outperformed traditional tech stocks. In both cycles, the October to March timeframe has historically prompted major upward movements.  Related Reading: The Next Chapter For Crypto: Legislative Clarity, Institutional Support Set Stage For Major Growth After a period of consolidation within a rising wedge, the BTC/NASDAQ pair appears poised for another breakout. Should this pattern repeat, Bitcoin may see substantial gains compared to the Nasdaq in the fourth quarter and into early 2026, Ash Crypto noted.  Notably, this sets the stage for a major rally that could see Bitcoin prices surpassing current records of over $126,000. However, the market is still characterized by increased volatility, and there is no clear path ahead for BTC. The leading cryptocurrency is trading at $113,350 after a 2% correction in Tuesday’s trading session, following an initial surge above $115,000. This puts BTC 6.5% below record highs.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has revealed a Bitcoin price range that defines the current battleground between recent buyers and profit-takers. Bitcoin Cost Basis Distribution Shows Where Resistance & Support Are Strongest In a new post on X, Glassnode has talked about where support and resistance levels lie for Bitcoin based on the Cost Basis Distribution (CBD). This indicator basically tells us about the total amount of supply that last changed hands at the various price levels that the cryptocurrency has visited in its history. Related Reading: Solana Eyes $210 Before Its Next Major Move—Uptrend Or Fakeout Ahead? Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in this metric over the last few months. As is visible in the graph, the CBD highlights two levels for holding a dense amount of the cryptocurrency’s supply (shaded in red). The lower of these levels is situated near $111,000. A large chunk of buying at this mark occurred during the recent bearish phase in the asset. The other level is located around $117,000, made up of investors who bought during the price rally to the all-time high (ATH). Naturally, these buyers would be underwater right now, while those who purchased at $111,000 would be in profit. Generally, holders are sensitive to retests of their cost basis and can show some kind of reaction during one. Since these two levels host the cost basis of a significant amount of investors, it’s possible that when BTC will revisit them, some panic selling or buying will crop up. Which behavior would be dominant usually comes down to the market mood and the direction of the retest. When the retest occurs from above, investors may choose to buy more, believing the same cost basis level would result in profits again in the future. Similarly, holders who were in loss prior to the retest can react by selling, fearing that the asset will drop again in the future. Considering these effects, the $111,000 may be considered a key support cushion for Bitcoin, while $117,000 a resistance barrier. “This range defines the current battleground between recent buyers and profit-takers,” noted Glassnode. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Returns To Neutral As BTC Breaks $115,000 It now remains to be seen which level BTC will visit next and how its retest will go. “A break in either direction could set the tone for the next major move,” explained the analytics firm. In some other news, the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) Oscillator has been sitting at cycle lows recently, as Glassnode has pointed out in another X post. This oscillator is based on the SSR, which compares the Bitcoin circulating supply against the supply of the stablecoins. The SSR Oscillator is sitting at a low level at the moment, which indicates that the BTC supply is low compared to stablecoin liquidity. “Historically, such periods precede stronger bid-side support when market confidence returns,” said the analytics firm. BTC Price Bitcoin saw a retrace toward $113,500 earlier, but the coin has been quick to bounce back as its price has returned to $115,400.

The next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is fast approaching, and the bets are already pouring in as to what it would mean for the Bitcoin and crypto industry. The last FOMC meeting took place in September, when the Federal Reserve ended up cutting rates down to 4-4.25% after months of no rate cuts. With this setting the tone, the expectations that another rate cut could be on the way are getting louder, with the FedWatch Tool showing a high percentage. Market Expects Another Rate Cut To 3.75-4% The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 29, 2025, and there is already a major clamor around what the Fed is planning on doing. The current market headwinds point to a favorable outcome for risk assets such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with expected rate cuts. Related Reading: Here’s What The XRP Open Interest Reset Means For The Price Currently, the CME FedWatch Tool is showing that the probability of a rate cut has risen to 98.3% as of the time of this writing. This leaves only a 1.7% chance that the Federal Reserve will actually leave rates at their current levels, and there is zero chance that there will be a rate hike. A reduction in the rate cuts is good for businesses all around, as lower interest rates mean better loan terms and increased spending and borrowing. Thus, it will increase the participation in the markets, from consumer goods to the stock market, and then make its way into newer markets such as Bitcoin and crypto. Expectations For Bitcoin And Crypto Are Getting Higher A rate cut by the Federal Reserve aligns with the more pro-crypto stance that the United States has been moving in since President Donald Trump was elected. Last week, the president pardoned the Founder and former CEO of the Binance crypto exchange, Changpeng Zhao, after he previously pled guilty to money laundering violations back in 2024. Zhao has since served a 4-month stint before the pardon from Trump came.

With the US embracing Bitcoin and crypto again, a rate cut will only further the ascent, allowing more investors to get into the market as liquidity frees up. The initial announcement has been known to trigger a rapid increase in the market. But as the news settles, the crypto market is expected to continue to rise in response. However, nothing is certain until the FOMC meeting is complete and the announcement is made. For the Bitcoin and crypto market to remain bullish, inflation will also have to be reduced, as an increase could trigger more conservative stances from investors.

Data shows the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has surged back into the neutral zone after the recovery rally in the cryptocurrency’s price. Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Now Has A Value Of 51 The “Fear & Greed Index” refers to an indicator created by Alternative that measures the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The metric uses the data of the following five factors to determine the investor mentality: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google Trends. The index uses a numerical scale running from zero to hundred for representing this sentiment. All values above 53 correspond to greed among the investors, while those below 47 to fear. The region between the two cutoffs naturally corresponds to a net neutral mentality. Related Reading: Nearly $360M In Crypto Shorts Squeezed As Bitcoin Recovers To $116,000 Now, here is how the current Bitcoin market sentiment is like, according to the Fear & Greed Index: As is visible above, the indicator has a value of 51, which suggests the trader sentiment is almost exactly in the balance right now. This is a notable change in market mood compared to just a few days ago. As displayed in the chart, the Fear & Greed Index was inside the fear zone during the past few days. The despair among the traders was a result of the bearish price action that BTC had recently faced. At one point, the indicator even fell to a low of 22, reflecting a state of “extreme fear.” This zone, which occurs below 25, corresponds to investors being the most bearish toward the market. There is a similar region for the greed side as well, called the “extreme greed,” situated above 75. Historically, the extreme sentiments have been quite significant for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as they are where major tops and bottoms have tended to form. The relationship has been an inverse one, however, meaning extreme fear is where bottoms form, while extreme greed facilitates tops. Since the extreme fear low earlier in the month, BTC has been on the way up, a potential indication that the contrarian signal of the sentiment may once again be in action. Related Reading: XRP Flashes TD Buy Signal: Start Of Fresh Rally? The cryptocurrency has extended its recovery in a sharp manner during the last couple of days, which may be a potential reason why the Fear & Greed Index has surged back to the neutral territory now. Though, for now, Bitcoin traders are still undecided on whether bullish action will follow next. It now remains to be seen whether they will embrace greed, or continue to be hesitant about the recovery. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $114,900, up 3.6% over the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Alternative.me, chart from TradingView.com
