After weeks of optimism, crypto markets closed the month in red — marking Bitcoin’s first losing October since 2018. Tariff tensions, heavy liquidations, and cautious Fed commentary combined to shake the jungle, leaving traders searching for direction.
Bitcoin & Market Overview
Bitcoin failed to reclaim 120 K, posting its weakest monthly close in years. Over 19 billion dollars in leveraged liquidations rocked futures markets after tariff headlines spooked risk assets. Despite the fear, institutional traders stayed active — CME futures and options hit record open interest, proving deep liquidity is still there.
Ethereum now trades near 3 870 USD, holding stronger than most majors. Support sits around 3 700–3 750 USD with breakout potential above 3 900. Altcoins lagged, but capital flowed into Solana and early AI + DePIN projects that continue to trend across launchpads. The Fed’s 25 basis-point rate cut gave brief relief, but uncertainty over December’s policy path kept crypto cautious.
Macro Pulse — The Bigger Picture
Data from Investing.com highlighted:
• U.S. inflation cooled slightly, while retail sales remained resilient.
• The Fed reiterated its “data-dependent” stance — no clear signal for December’s meeting.
• New tariff announcements reignited risk-off sentiment, shaking equities and crypto alike.
• Lower bond yields and a weaker dollar offered short-term breathing room, but volatility remains high.
New Token Listings / TGEs
• AI and DePIN projects dominated early launchpads with strong presale traction.
• Regional exchanges rolled out new GameFi tokens tied to move-to-earn incentives.
• Binance Launchpool is now live for KITE, the first confirmed listing since October — showing renewed momentum in infrastructure and DePIN narratives.
• Smart money continues accumulating pre-listing, watching for the next burst of liquidity.
Market Focus
Bitcoin’s 110 K–115 K zone remains key support, with upside momentum possible if price reclaims 118 K.
Ethereum’s 3 900 USD zone is the level to watch for confirmation of strength.
Solana’s rising DEX volume continues to act as a sentiment gauge.
Fed speeches and inflation revisions mid-week could bring added volatility.

My Take
The market’s not broken — it’s just catching its breath.
Liquidations washed out the excess, ETH’s stability is quietly impressive, and new listings like KITE hint that builder momentum never stopped.
The real jungle isn’t the charts — it’s how you handle uncertainty.

Is this the calm before the next crypto breakout — or just another false dawn?
