Bitcoin Can enter a decisive phase while the macro and crypto-specific forces converge.
With the closure of the American government and traditional market indicators such as delayed employment reports, traders look at alternative assets, in particular bitcoin and gold. BTC climbed $ 120,000 after rallying 9% this week, while Gold increased by 2.9% to receive $ 3,900.
The closure experienced more than 90% of the SEC staff and left the CFTC with a skeleton crew. Reacting to the closing markets has rallied, because investors see the federal reserve reducing interest rates of 25 BPS later this month as an almost certainty of an unexpected drop in American private pay and a delay in other key economic data.
“The merchants lacked immediate catalysts, highlighted by a moderate commitment after the FOMC meeting, even if gold and the actions have displayed strong gains. However, the wider trend remains higher as we go to a rate reduction cycle,” said Jake Ostrovskis, OTC negotiation chief in Wintermute, Coindek.
The drop in interest rates makes risk assets like cryptocurrencies more attractive, and this happens in a month when feeling is high given historical performance.
“October has historically been a month bruise for bitcoin, and the first signs suggest that this year may not be an exception.“Said Gadi Chait by Xapo Bank, in a statement sent by e-mail.” Far from being a speculative aberrant value, Bitcoin continues to show its capacity to challenge the chances and to assert itself as a digital asset with respect for power. “”
Channel data support this. The apparent demand for Bitcoin has increased by around 62,000 BTC per month since July, according to the cryptochus, mainly led by ETF and whales. For the context, ETF Holdings jumped 71% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In addition to that, the crypto-native market continued to grow.
“During the last month, the DEFI DEFI share share of Defi climbed considerably, expanding both the market and our opportunity,” said Dydx Labs president Eddie Zhang in Coindesk.
“A large engine of this change is the renewed energy and participation that we see in Asia. We think that DEFI is starting to keep its long -standing promise, and the pace of market adoption is accelerating in response.”
For the future, cryptographic markets anticipate other potential catalysts: ETF decisions for several altcoins, including Solana and XRP, which could be delayed in relation to closure, and Fusaka Ethereum upgrade, which is slowly approaching. Stay vigilant!

Talk about tokens
By Oliver Knight
- The cryptography market increased on Friday with tokens, notably ETH, Sol and XRP, all increasing by more than 2%, while smaller altcoins like Ethfi and Cake climbed up to 25%.
- The relative force comes as Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency in the world, reached $ 120,000 because it aims at the August record greater than $ 124,000.
- Unlike previous incursions greater than $ 120,000, this decision was rather silent; With the price remaining in a tight range as opposed to a peak of volatility.
- This augurs well for altcoins, which generally work well when bitcoin is consolidated because it allows capital to turn bitcoin to more speculative bets.
- However, the change of increase was not nice for a few selected tokens, especially which was treated an exhausting drop of 43% due to a rapid course of the lever effect.
- The XPL plasma token, as reported in the book on Thursday, continues to stutter in the middle of speculation to find out if market manufacturers short-circuit on behalf of the founding team, an assertion that the founders of XPL denied.
Positioning of derivatives
- The BTC -long market remains strongly optimistic, with interests open to summits of all time over 32 billion dollars. The three -month annualized database is also high, approaching 8%.
- However, a notable divergence exists in funding rates. The deribit rate is exceptionally high at 25%, while other exchanges like Bybit have more neutral funding, suggesting a potential concentration of aggressive long positions in specific areas.
- The BTC options market displays a state of neutrality. The 24 -hour call volume is still slightly dominated by 52.25%calls, but this is a decrease compared to previous days, indicating a potential moderation of upward conviction.
- At the same time, the 1 -week Delta SKEW is now essentially 0.33%stable, signaling balanced implicit volatility for puts and calls.
- This combination of measures suggests a market that is installed in a more balanced and hesitant phase after a stronger period of hassy feeling.
- Coinglass data shows $ 380 million in liquidation 24 hours a day, with a 35-65 division between long and shorts. Binance Liquidation Heatmap indicates $ 121,300 as a basic liquidation level to monitor, in the event of a price increase.
