Asian stocks surged \u2014 with <strong>Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225<\/strong> hitting new records on optimism over fiscal dove <strong>Sanae Takaichi\u2019s<\/strong> rise toward premiership, while <strong>Chinese markets<\/strong> rebounded on signs of softer rhetoric from U.S. officials regarding trade talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, crypto markets moved in the opposite direction. Bitcoin struggled to reclaim the <strong>$110,000<\/strong> level following <strong>October\u2019s flash crash<\/strong>, which wiped out <strong>$500 billion<\/strong> in total crypto market capitalization and shattered the \u201c<strong>Uptober<\/strong>\u201d narrative of historically strong October performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts noted that <strong>Bitcoin\u2019s correlation with equities has broken down<\/strong>, as traders focus more on internal market risks \u2014 including thin liquidity, leveraged liquidations, and regulatory uncertainty \u2014 than on broader macro relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fading Uptober Sentiment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once expected to deliver strong gains, \u201cUptober\u201d is now losing steam. Bitcoin has shed over <strong>2% month-to-date<\/strong>, reflecting renewed caution in an asset class still reeling from sharp intraday swings earlier in the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>flash crash<\/strong> not only damaged confidence but also triggered widespread <strong>risk aversion<\/strong> in crypto markets. Many traders remain hesitant to reenter positions until volatility subsides and momentum reestablishes itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Altcoins Mirror Bitcoin\u2019s Slide<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Broader cryptocurrencies mirrored Bitcoin\u2019s pullback. <strong>Ether (ETH)<\/strong> dropped <strong>5.3% to $3,859.65<\/strong>, failing to sustain above the key <strong>$4,000<\/strong> threshold. <strong>XRP<\/strong> slipped <strong>2.2% to $2.4145<\/strong>, showing limited reaction to news that <strong>Ripple Labs<\/strong> plans to list <strong>Evernorth<\/strong>, a Ripple-backed entity, on the <strong>Nasdaq<\/strong> through a <strong>SPAC merger<\/strong> expected to raise over <strong>$1 billion<\/strong> in XRP-related capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other major altcoins followed suit \u2014 <strong>BNB<\/strong> fell <strong>5.7%<\/strong>, while <strong>Cardano<\/strong> and <strong>Solana<\/strong> slid between <strong>4% and 6%<\/strong>. Among meme tokens, <strong>Dogecoin<\/strong> declined <strong>4.3%<\/strong>, and <strong>$TRUMP<\/strong> dropped <strong>3.1%<\/strong>, reflecting the broader market\u2019s cautious tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite improving risk sentiment in traditional markets, crypto remains <strong>decoupled and vulnerable<\/strong> to selling pressure. Analysts caution that without renewed institutional demand or clearer regulatory direction, Bitcoin\u2019s <strong>technical resilience around $105,000\u2013$107,000<\/strong> may soon be tested again \u2014 marking a potential shift from the optimism that characterized earlier months of 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin extended losses on Tuesday, reversing a brief weekend recovery as crypto markets failed to follow the broader rally in risk assets driven by easing U.S.\u2013China trade tensions and upbeat sentiment across Asian equities.
