Crypto Market Shows Growth: Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead
As of this morning, Bitcoin has settled above the $111,000 mark, reaching $111,094, which corresponds to a daily increase of 2.3%. The price of Ethereum has also risen by 2.3%, trading at $4,072. This positive trend has not only affected the market leaders but also altcoins: the average increase among the top 10 cryptocurrencies ranges from 2.8% to 6.8%.
Liquidation Volume, Market Sentiment, and Macro Factors
The daily liquidation volume in the futures market exceeded $520 million, primarily from short positions, due to a sharp price spike. The Fear and Greed Index has increased by five points, continuing to signal caution among market participants while also showing a gradual rise in optimism.
It is worth noting that at the end of last week, the market experienced a correction: the price of Bitcoin fell below $105,000. However, according to BTC Markets analyst Rachel Lucas, the market’s recovery occurred due to a more stable macroeconomic situation and increased institutional interest.
“Major players viewed the previous sell-off as a buying opportunity. Additionally, the positive trend, she says, is fueled by expectations of a decrease in the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate.”
Furthermore, users of the Polymarket platform estimate the probability of the U.S. imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting November 1, 2025, at 12%. This indicates a certain skepticism regarding the escalation of trade tensions between the countries.
