🚀 Bitcoin Maintains Bullish Market Structure Amid $60,000 Retest
#Bitcoin #BTC #Bullish #MarketStructure #SupportLevel #FearSentiment #PriceAction #Trading #Investment #BuyTheDip
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to exhibit a bullish market structure despite a recent retest of the $60,000 support level. Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital has dismissed the fearful market sentiment surrounding the current BTC price action, emphasizing that Bitcoin's return to the $60,000 level is not a cause for concern.
BTC/USD has experienced a 6% drop over the past three days, following a recent peak above $66,000. Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin has revisited the low $60,000s multiple times in recent months, and each pullback has been met with different narratives of fear. He maintains that the bullish market structure remains intact.
Fellow trader Jelle shares this optimistic outlook, suggesting that Bitcoin is undergoing a significant resistance/support flip. He reassured his followers that despite the initial red start to the quarter, Bitcoin's market structure is bullish, and key support levels are being reinforced.
Previously, Cointelegraph reported on bearish BTC price predictions, with some analysts forecasting a potential drop below $60,000. Entrepreneur Mark Cullen advised traders to prepare for a possible dip to around $57,000, indicating that Bitcoin might still be heading lower.
Onchain data analysis by Checkmate, the pseudonymous creator of Checkonchain, provides further insights. Using the short-term holder spent output profit ratio (STH-SOPR) metric, Checkmate observed that recent price performance reflects profit-taking by Bitcoin speculators. The STH-SOPR metric, which measures the proportion of funds in profit when moved onchain, has dipped below its center value of 1.0, suggesting a potential 'buy the dip' opportunity.
Checkmate explained that a high STH-SOPR indicates profit-taking and selling pressure, while dips back to 1.0 or brief undercuts in a bull market present opportunities to accumulate Bitcoin at lower prices.

🚀 Cryptocurrency Market Faces Sharp Downturn As AI And Big Data Tokens Plummet
#Cryptocurrency #MarketDownturn #AI #BigData #Tokens #MarketCap #Octobear #NEAR #BIT #TAO #ICP #RNDR #FET #Bitcoin #GeopoliticalFactors #MarketTrends
According to Cointelegraph, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant decline, with artificial intelligence and big data-related tokens losing $4.69 billion in market capitalization over three days. The market, which was valued at $38.82 billion on September 30, fell to $34.13 billion by October 3, casting doubt on the anticipated 'UPtober' trend where investors had hoped for a market recovery.
Despite October's historical reputation as a favorable month for traders, this year appears to be shaping up as 'Octo-bear' rather than 'UPtober.' Among the leading AI and big data tokens, Near Protocol (NEAR) has seen the steepest decline, dropping 14.88% over the past seven days. As of the time of writing, NEAR is priced at $4.61. Other top-performing tokens, such as Bitensor (TAO) and Internet Computer (ICP), also experienced significant price declines, losing 9.37% and 13.35%, respectively, over the same period. This downward trend has impacted the broader AI and big data market, with tokens like Render (RNDR) down 13.64% and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) down 16.68%.
Historically, October has been a period of strong gains and market stability, with many expecting Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins to see upward momentum throughout the month. However, 2024 has defied that trend, with nearly $5 billion wiped from the AI and big data token market cap just three days into October. The broader crypto market has also seen a downward trend, influenced by geopolitical factors such as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, regulatory challenges, and macroeconomic concerns.
Despite the recent downturn, AI tokens are still performing significantly better than in July, when the total market cap was around $20 billion. Considering the shift in pace from three months ago, the AI and big data token market is up over $13 billion, essentially trivializing the recent loss in market cap in October. While the long-term trend for BTC in the fourth quarter and early 2025 seems positive, recent signs indicate there could be some short-term volatility in October.#Cryptocurrency #MarketDownturn #AI #BigData #Tokens #MarketCap #Octobear #NEAR #BIT #TAO #ICP #RNDR #FET #Bitcoin #GeopoliticalFactors #MarketTrends
🚀 Fed Chair Powell Signals No Rush to Cut Rates Amid Upcoming Job Reports
#FedChair #JeromePowell #InterestRates #JobReports #Employment #RateCuts #LaborMarket #Economy #Unemployment #JobGrowth #FederalReserve
According to Odaily, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has indicated that the Fed is not in a hurry to lower interest rates and prefers a gradual approach to rate cuts. However, this patience will be tested with a series of highly anticipated employment reports set to be released starting this Friday. If there are any new signs of deterioration in the job market, the Fed may be compelled to make a significant rate cut of 0.5 percentage points initially, followed by another substantial cut, even though policymakers currently expect to reduce rates by 25 basis points in both November and December.
The latest employment market data, expected to be released on Friday, is anticipated to reinforce a trend of moderate cooling. Economists predict that 146,000 jobs were created last month, with the unemployment rate remaining steady at 4.2%. This report is largely in line with the creation of 142,000 jobs in August.#FedChair #JeromePowell #InterestRates #JobReports #Employment #RateCuts #LaborMarket #Economy #Unemployment #JobGrowth #FederalReserve

According to PANews, the Federal Reserve may encounter additional complexities in the October employment report, which is expected to be released before the upcoming meeting on November 6-7. Lydia Boussour, a senior economist at EY, stated that any significant slowdown in wage growth and a substantial rise in the unemployment rate could lead data-dependent Fed policymakers to consider another 50 basis point rate cut. However, Neil Dutta, head of economic research at Renaissance Macro Research, anticipates two significant 50 basis point rate cuts in November and December due to complications arising from strikes and hurricane damage.#FederalReserve #InterestRates #EmploymentReport #WageGrowth #UnemploymentRate #Economy #EconomicResearch #MarketAnalysis #RateCuts #NovemberMeeting
🚀 Mysterious Whale '7 Siblings' Reenters Market with Significant ETH Purchase
#Whale #7Siblings #Cryptocurrency #ETH #Ethereum #Investment #MarketFluctuations #USDC
According to Odaily, the enigmatic whale known as '7 Siblings,' which holds assets worth $2.2 billion, has made a notable reentry into the cryptocurrency market. During the recent downturn, the whale acquired 28,120 ETH, valued at $66 million, at an average price of $2,350 per ETH. This significant purchase highlights the whale's strategic investment moves amid market fluctuations.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that on August 5, during a market crash, '7 Siblings' spent 129.3 million USDC to buy 56,093 ETH at an average price of $2,305 per ETH. This substantial acquisition underscores the whale's confidence in Ethereum's potential and its ability to capitalize on market dips.#Whale #7Siblings #Cryptocurrency #ETH #Ethereum #Investment #MarketFluctuations #USDC
🚀 Swift To Launch Digital Asset Trials In 2025

According to Cointelegraph, banks across North America, Europe, and Asia are gearing up to participate in new digital asset trials initiated by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT). SWIFT announced on October 3 that it will commence a digital asset trial on its network in 2025. The trial will focus on experimenting with transactions involving multiple digital currencies and assets.
The primary objective of these trials is to explore how the banking network can offer financial institutions unified access to various digital asset classes and currencies. Initial use cases will concentrate on payments, foreign exchange, securities, and trade, enabling multi-ledger delivery-versus-payment and payment-versus-payment transactions.
In its announcement, SWIFT emphasized the rapid growth of unconnected platforms and technologies within the digital asset economy, leading to an increasingly fragmented landscape. This fragmentation, according to SWIFT, poses significant challenges to global adoption by creating a complex web of 'digital islands.'
SWIFT aims to leverage its unique position to interlink these disparate networks with each other and with existing fiat currencies. This initiative is intended to enable its global community to seamlessly transact using digital assets and currencies alongside traditional forms of value.
Cointelegraph reached out to SWIFT for comments regarding which digital assets are likely to be part of its blockchain trials in 2024 but did not receive a response at the time of publication. This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.#Swift #DigitalAssets #Cryptocurrency #Banking #Finance #DigitalCurrency #Blockchain #Payments #ForeignExchange #Securities #Trade #FinancialInstitutions #GlobalAdoption #FiatCurrencies #2025Trial

According to Odaily, Standard Chartered Bank analyst Geoff Kendrick has indicated that Bitcoin might fall below $60,000 before the weekend due to concerns over geopolitical risks. However, Kendrick views this potential drop as an opportunity for accumulation. He also highlighted a significant increase in bullish Bitcoin options positions, noting a rise in open interest for options with an $80,000 strike price expiring on December 27.
Kendrick further pointed out that Bitcoin has not emerged as a safe haven against geopolitical tensions. He stated, 'Gold is a geopolitical hedge. Bitcoin is a tool to hedge against traditional financial issues such as bank failures or de-dollarization and sustainability issues of the U.S. Treasury.'#Bitcoin #GeopoliticalRisks #StandardChartered #GeoffKendrick #BullishOptions #Accumulation #SafeHaven #Gold #FinancialIssues #DeDollarization #USTreasury #BTC

🚀 Proposed Unrealized Capital Gains Tax Could Harm Cryptocurrency Investors
#UnrealizedCapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyInvestors #TaxProposal #ZacTownsend #CapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyMarket #FinancialImpact #StoreOfValue #EconomicConsequences #InvestorConcerns
According to BlockBeats, on October 3, Among Us CEO and co-founder Zac Townsend expressed concerns that the proposed unrealized capital gains tax by Harris would negatively impact cryptocurrency investors.
The core of the unrealized capital gains tax proposal is to require individuals to pay taxes on the appreciation of their cryptocurrency holdings, even if they have not sold any assets. Townsend highlighted that this approach is fundamentally different from traditional tax principles, which only apply to gains realized upon the sale of assets.
Townsend warned that this plan could have devastating consequences for cryptocurrency investors and the broader economy. It could undermine the intrinsic value of cryptocurrencies as a store of value not controlled by any single government. The tax could incentivize large investors to sell off assets to pay the tax, leading to a decrease in cryptocurrency prices and affecting the returns of everyday investors, including those who have invested small amounts in hopes of improving their financial situation.#UnrealizedCapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyInvestors #TaxProposal #ZacTownsend #CapitalGainsTax #CryptocurrencyMarket #FinancialImpact #StoreOfValue #EconomicConsequences #InvestorConcerns
🚀 Taiwan Introduces New AML Regulations For Crypto Firms
#Taiwan #AMLRegulations #Crypto #VASPs #FinancialSupervisoryCommission #DigitalAssets #ETFs #Compliance #RiskAssessment #Cryptocurrency #Finance
According to Cointelegraph, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of Taiwan has unveiled new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations that all local virtual asset service providers (VASPs) must adhere to by 2025.
On October 2, the FSC released updated AML measures following earlier amendments proposed by the financial watchdog. Taiwan has been expected to introduce new crypto-related regulations since March. The new regulations mandate that all crypto firms register with the government by September 2025 or face penalties, including a two-year prison sentence or fines up to 5 million New Taiwan dollars ($155,900).
Effective January 1, 2025, these regulations will replace the current system for Taiwanese VASPs. Even if companies have previously completed the old AML compliance measures, they are still required to meet the new standards and registration process. The FSC advised VASPs to consider waiting until the new registration system is implemented before submitting their documents to avoid reapplying under different rules.
VASPs are also expected to prepare a risk assessment report and submit it to the respective government agency each year as part of the new compliance measures. The FSC is anticipated to submit a new proposal for crypto-related laws by June 2025, with a draft expected by the end of this year.
In addition to its new AML regulations, the Taiwanese government has been expanding its involvement in the crypto sector. On September 30, the FSC opened the digital asset ETF market to local professional investors, allowing access to high-risk foreign digital asset exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move aims to boost Taiwan’s financial market competitiveness and aligns with similar efforts in Hong Kong and Singapore.#Taiwan #AMLRegulations #Crypto #VASPs #FinancialSupervisoryCommission #DigitalAssets #ETFs #Compliance #RiskAssessment #Cryptocurrency #Finance

According to Odaily, QCP Capital's analysis suggests that the current weakness in the cryptocurrency market is temporary, given its strong correlation with US stocks. As the US stock market recovers, cryptocurrencies are likely to follow suit. This correlation highlights that macroeconomic factors are currently the primary drivers of risk asset prices.
The ADP employment report exceeded expectations, making tomorrow's non-farm payroll report crucial for confirming the strength of the US labor market. The combination of expected interest rate cuts and robust labor market strength could boost risk assets. Despite the Middle East tensions affecting Bitcoin during a historically strong month, this decline is seen as temporary, with an anticipated 'October rise' rebound expected to prevail.#Cryptocurrency #MarketRecovery #USStockMarket #QCPCapital #MacroeconomicFactors #RiskAssets #EmploymentReport #NonFarmPayroll #InterestRateCuts #LaborMarket #OctoberRise
🚀 Traders Anticipate Significant Price Swings For Ether Amid US Election
#Traders #Ether #ETH #Bitcoin #BTC #PriceSwings #Volatility #USElection #DeFi #RegulatoryScrutiny #Crypto #MarketExpectations #DigitalAssets
According to Cointelegraph, traders are expecting more substantial price fluctuations for Ether (ETH) compared to Bitcoin (BTC) due to upcoming macroeconomic events. Derive founder Nick Forster noted in an Oct. 2 analyst report that Ether's forward volatility is projected to spike between Oct. 25 and Nov. 8, coinciding with the United States presidential election on Nov. 5.
Forster emphasized that the US election could significantly impact ETH prices, particularly because of its connections to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, which might face regulatory scrutiny depending on the elected president's stance on crypto. Derive data indicates a 68% chance of a price swing between -14% and +16% within three days after the election, with a 95% chance of a move ranging from -26% to +35%.
At the time of publication, ETH forward volatility stands at 76.6%, while BTC is at 69.8%. This suggests that traders expect significant movement during this period, with ETH appearing more sensitive to external events. Forster explained that traders seem more confident in Bitcoin's ability to withstand macro events, likely due to its established position as a digital store of value and its relatively less direct exposure to regulatory concerns compared to Ethereum.
With broader ecosystem concerns hinging on the US election outcome, traders are pricing in more extreme movements for ETH. Forster added that this data reflects traders' expectations for increased uncertainty as the election approaches. Currently, Ether is trading at $2,364, down 5.93% since Oct. 2. Despite the much-anticipated Ether ETF launch in July, the historical debut has not bolstered Ether's price.#Traders #Ether #ETH #Bitcoin #BTC #PriceSwings #Volatility #USElection #DeFi #RegulatoryScrutiny #Crypto #MarketExpectations #DigitalAssets
