Expert Comments
Vishal Sacheendran, Head of Regional Markets at Binance, emphasized Bitcoin’s resilience, noting its ability to recover and the historical strength of October for the cryptocurrency. Despite fluctuations, Bitcoin has shown enduring strength, with positive returns in 9 of the past 11 years and an average gain of 22.9% in October, said Sacheendran. Illia Otychenko, Market Research Analyst at CEX.IO, highlighted Bitcoin’s technical indicators. The cryptocurrency recently bounced off the 50-week Simple Moving Average (SMA), a key support level, and is now aiming to stay above the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. Otychenko also pointed to a potentially bullish signal from the NVT Golden Cross indicator, which suggests strengthening network activity despite recent price declines. Greg Cipolaro, Global Head of Research at NYDIG, noted that immediate catalysts for Bitcoin are currently limited, focusing more on macroeconomic factors and monetary policy rather than specific cryptocurrency events.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to showcase significant changes and remain in the spotlight for investors and analysts. The recovery and current trends in the market indicate opportunities and risks associated with these assets.
