Bitcoin advanced on Monday, building on a weekend bounce as cooler rhetoric around the U.S.\u2013China trade dispute and expectations of imminent Federal Reserve rate cuts encouraged broader risk-taking across crypto markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The largest cryptocurrency rose 3.5% to $110,608<\/strong>, recovering from last week\u2019s trough near $103,000<\/strong> that followed an escalation in U.S.\u2013China tensions. Sentiment also steadied alongside gains in other risk assets, with traders leaning into the view that the Fed could cut rates later in October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recovery gathered pace after President Donald Trump<\/strong> signaled that a prolonged trade war with China was \u201cnot sustainable,\u201d while indicating plans to speak with President Xi Jinping<\/strong> in about two weeks. Separately, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent<\/strong> said high-level talks with Chinese officials would continue this week. The more conciliatory tone cooled bets on sweeping 100% tariffs<\/strong>, trimming a key macro headwind that had weighed on risk assets\u2014including crypto\u2014earlier in the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lingering concerns over U.S. economic momentum remain a drag, with a continuing government shutdown delaying several key data releases ahead of the Federal Reserve\u2019s meeting next week<\/strong>. The temporary lack of visibility has kept volatility elevated across macro-sensitive assets, crypto included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The updraft broadened beyond Bitcoin. Ether<\/strong> climbed 4.1% to $4,057.96<\/strong>, reclaiming the psychologically important $4,000<\/strong> mark. XRP<\/strong> gained 4.2% to $2.4510<\/strong>, BNB<\/strong> rose 3.6% to $1,130.20<\/strong>, while Solana<\/strong> and Cardano<\/strong> advanced 3.2%<\/strong> and 5.4%<\/strong>, respectively. Among meme tokens, Dogecoin<\/strong> added 5.6%<\/strong> and $TRUMP<\/strong> increased 2.2%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite Monday\u2019s rally, the market remains softer for the month. Both Bitcoin<\/strong> and Ether<\/strong> are down roughly 2%<\/strong> apiece in October, diverging from the historical pattern of outperformance often dubbed \u201cUptober.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Near-term direction hinges on two swing factors: the durability of the improved U.S.\u2013China tone and clarity from the Fed<\/strong>. A definitive de-escalation in trade risks or a dovish policy signal could extend the rebound, while renewed tariff threats or a more hawkish-than-expected Fed would likely re-ignite pressure across crypto majors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin advanced on Monday, building on a weekend bounce as cooler rhetoric around the U.S.\u2013China trade dispute and expectations of imminent Federal Reserve rate cuts encouraged broader risk-taking across crypto markets.
