The recent declines on Wall Street and renewed fears of a trade war with China triggered a sharp selloff in Bitcoin. Since August 10, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has fallen by over $600 billion.

\nThis large-scale deleveraging could act as a \u201creset\u201d for the market\u2019s internal structure.<\/p>\n


\n\tHowever, Bitcoin began the new week with strong gains, rebounding to nearly $111,000, riding a wave of global optimism across equities and other risk assets.\u00a0
\n\tEthereum is also recovering losses, breaking above the key $4,000 resistance level.
\n\tA different volatility profile and the absence of systemic buyers\u2014such as central banks in the gold market\u2014mean that BTC has underperformed gold so far this year.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

If Bitcoin were to close October at its current level, it would mark its weakest October in eight years, signaling a clear seasonality disruption.\u00a0Despite having its worst week since March, Bitcoin\u2019s renewed buying momentum has pushed it back above $110,000.<\/p>\n

Derivatives Market and Leverage Reset<\/p>\n

The put-to-call ratio on the Deribit options exchange rose to 1.33, signaling persistent demand for downside hedging and overall market caution.<\/p>\n


\n\tFollowing the recent panic in the crypto market, a significant number of leveraged Bitcoin positions were liquidated, leading to a sharp price drop.
\n\tBTC fell further, slipping below its 200-day EMA for the first time since April 2025.
\n\tBoth in the spring and summer, Bitcoin briefly fell below this technical level, which supports the notion of an \u201copen-ended future\u201d for the trend.
\n\tHowever, this time the initial selloff has been notably more abrupt than before. <\/p>\n

Until the market regains confidence in the sustainability of Wall Street\u2019s rally\u2014and in U.S.-China trade relations\u2014Bitcoin may struggle to regain leadership among risk assets.

\nOn the other hand, BTC has quickly reclaimed the 200-day EMA, now trading about 7% higher from its local lows.<\/p>\n

ETF Flows and Institutional Holdings<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have slowed, but this appears to be merely a correction following massive earlier inflows.\u00a0In both cases, the net balance of ETF activity remains positive, continuing to support the underlying price fundamentals.\u00a0BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) currently holds over 800,000 BTC, representing about 4% of Bitcoin\u2019s total eventual supply (data as of Thursday, October 16).<\/p>\n

Liquidity, Money Supply, and Macro Outlook<\/p>\n

All indications suggest that the global M2 money supply will continue to rise.\u00a0In theory, an increase in M2 means more liquidity, which could boost demand for Bitcoin.\u00a0However, the impact depends on where this additional liquidity flows.<\/p>\n

If new money remains locked within fiscal deficits or government bonds, rather than reaching the real economy, the M2 expansion alone may not be a sufficient catalyst for risk assets \u2014 including Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Swissblock Bitcoin Liquidity Index, which tracks on-chain activity, exchange flows, and spot demand, has risen again, pointing to an environment favorable for price growth.<\/p>\n
