Earlier in October, BTC fell into a bear trap and shed more than 20% of its value from its ATH, struggling to break past $110k and then eventually losing steam and testing the $99k-$100k support zone.

There was some optimism regarding a possible reversal based on the US-China trade deal in late October, but it was not to be. Crypto investments saw major outflows with BTC ETFs losing more than $2Bn in just eight trading sessions.

Stocks related to crypto also declined, with Coinbase and Strategy both falling more than 8% last week.

Technically, BTC has broken through its consolidation phase and is trying to hold above $106k, between $106.3k and $106.7k. It will retest the $110k level soon.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned positive, currently at 57, indicating a lot more headroom before it reaches overbought territory.

BTC has historically rallied when interest rates have dropped. It happened in 2020 and 2023, with BTC jumping more than 30% after the Fed eased financial conditions.

It is trying to hold steady above the $3.5k level after buyers stepped in when the price briefly fell near $3,058. Meanwhile, its support around $3.2k helped ETH gain momentum, especially since BTC also started to recover.

Market Cap





Technical indicators now suggest a growing bullish interest in the altcoin king as its price action has moved above a key trend line and has cleared half of its recent losses, pointing to a stronger short-term outlook.

Its next big resistance is at $3.7k. If ETH can close decisively above this level, it could further climb towards $3,820, a level where it has faced heavy selling pressure before.

However, if ETH fails to break above $3.7k, it could pull back again to its first support at around $3.580, followed by a more critical level at $3.5k.

CoinShares: Global ETPs Face $1.2Bn Weekly Outflows

Global ETPs saw massive outflows, driven by post-liquidity volatility and investor profit-taking after recent price surges. Most of the withdrawals came from BTC-related products, which accounted for over $1Bn of the total. 

Per the report, ETH ETPs also saw outflows, but to a lesser extent. 

Although institutional interest in crypto is strong, short-term market turbulence and uncertainty around macroeconomic conditions have led to somewhat of a repositioning. 

Meanwhile, trading volumes are still high despite the sell-off.

DeFi In Corporate Cash Flow? Execs Park Excess Cash In DeFi Vaults

David Pakman, managing partner at CoinFund, a crypto investment fund, highlighted the slow emergence of DeFi as a viable option for corporates looking to earn yield on idle cash. 

Pakman explained that traditional corporate treasuries typically park funds in low-yield instruments like money market funds or short-term bonds. DeFi, on the other hand, can offer higher returns, sometimes in the 5-10% range, by lending stablecoins or participating in liquidity pools.

He emphasized that the infrastructure and compliance landscape around DeFi has matured, making it accessible and less risky for institutional players. 

He believes that as more companies explore blockchain-based finance, DeFi could become a mainstream tool for treasury management. 

Robert Kiyosaki: Bitcoin Will Reach $250K

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says he’s buying more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as he prepares for what he believes could be a sharp economic downturn.

In a post on X on Sunday, Kiyosaki warned that markets may be heading toward trouble. He said he’s shifting more of his money into what he calls “real money,” suggesting he sees these assets as safer than cash.

Kiyosaki said his view on gold is influenced by economist Jim Rickards. 

He also repeated his long-held call that Bitcoin could reach $250,000, arguing that BTC acts as protection against what he describes as the Federal Reserve’s “fake money.”

He pointed to growing interest in Ethereum, citing analyst Tom Lee from Fundstrat, and said he views ETH as the main network supporting stablecoins, a role he believes gives it weight in global finance.

Kiyosaki said his views are shaped by two key ideas: Gresham’s Law, which holds that weaker money replaces stronger money in daily use, and Metcalfe’s Law, which links a network’s value to the size of its user base.

Japan Plans to Tighten Crypto Custody Rules

Arijit Mukherjee

By Arijit Mukherjee

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is planning to chart a new framework that would require crypto custody and trading management service providers to register with the authority before working with exchanges. 

With this framework, the FSA hopes to close security gaps exposed by prior accidents, most notably the 2024 DMM Bitcoin hack, where $312 million was stolen through a third-party software provider.

Currently, crypto exchanges in Japan follow strict asset management rules. But third-party software companies are not held up to the same standards.

The proposed rule will mandate that only registered custodians be used by the exchanges in Japan going forward.
