Cryptocurrency market in the morning of October 18, 2025, alarming signals for investors

This morning, the cryptocurrency market is showing a decline. Bitcoin (BTC) has broken the $105,000 mark, which is the lowest level in the last three months. The market capitalization of BTC has decreased to $2.1 trillion, and the drop since October 10 has been nearly 13%.

Other top coins are not lagging behind:

• Ethereum (ETH) — around $3,863

• XRP — $2.33

• Cardano (ADA) — $0.63

• Binance Coin (BNB) — lost over 6% in a day

The reasons for the decline are global macroeconomic instability and geopolitical news. The wave of sell-offs has been intensified by statements about a trade war between the USA and China, as well as news about rising interest rates in the USA.

🔹 Futures and derivatives show increased volatility

🔹 Technological movements: shares of Nvidia and BlackRock have attracted attention to the topic of data centers and AI, but the cryptocurrency market remains in the shadow of these events.

🔹 The Fear and Greed Index of the cryptocurrency market is 43, indicating a predominance of caution and distrust towards short-term fluctuations.

In conditions of high volatility, it is better to act cautiously, monitor the news, and track futures.
