After the liquidation of more than $19 billion in leveraged positions at the beginning of October, the market is stabilizing again.
Bitcoin (BTC) is holding around the range of $108,000 – $109,000
Ethereum (ETH) is trading at around $3,800, with narrower fluctuations than previous weeks.
Most altcoins are in a state of accumulation, reflecting the wait-and-see sentiment of large funds.
1/ Institutional money continues to flow into the market
T. Rowe Price, one of the oldest funds in the U.S., has just filed for its first crypto ETF. This move indicates that institutional confidence is returning amidst a sideways market.
Liquidity provider B2C2 launches PENNY platform, allowing free & instant stablecoin swaps across multiple blockchains – a major step forward for the DeFi liquidity space.
2/ Legal pressure continues to mount
The UK financial regulator (FCA) has sued the exchange HTX (related to the American billionaire investor) for violating financial advertising regulations.
A clear sign that countries are tightening the legal framework to protect investors and shape a more transparent market.
3/ Strategic outlook
This phase is a 'accumulation zone', where professional investors look for opportunities in preparation for the new wave.
Short-term traders should pay attention to the low volatility zone – it could be the start of a breakout.
Long-term holders may consider gradually accumulating in the support zone.
Noticing that:
Crypto is 'compressing' after significant volatility, but positive news from investment funds and infrastructure platforms shows the ecosystem is still expanding sustainably.
“When the market is silent – that is when smart people prepare for the next wave.”
