The most recent October is the worst for Bitcoin in the past seven years.
Why is the crypto market up today (oct 31)?

Overview

  • Bitcoin rebounded to roughly $109,000 on Friday but still logged a monthly decline, breaking its long-running October streak.
  • Ethereum underperformed Bitcoin for the month, falling about 10% to roughly $3,800–$3,900.
  • Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw about $600 million in weekly outflows, reflecting reduced risk tolerance among investors.
  • The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points, and Chair Jerome Powell signaled a guarded outlook that tempered expectations for additional 2025 cuts.
  • October’s volatility featured the largest crypto liquidation on record, with more than $19 billion in positions wiped out as the market sank following President Donald Trump’s 100% China tariff threat.
