Bitcoin Updates: Rising Global Tensions Disrupt Bitcoin’s ‘Uptober’ Momentum as $100K Level Challenges Bullish Strength
- Bitcoin fell below $113,000 in October 2025 amid U.S.-China trade tensions and macroeconomic risks, defying its historical "Uptober" trend. - Record $19B in liquidations and 52% probability of breaching $100,000 highlight volatility, though $3.55B ETF inflows and corporate holdings growth signal institutional confidence. - BTC rebounded to $115,041 as trade tensions eased, with Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick suggesting $100,000 support may hold if macroeconomic conditions improve. - Mixed technic
In early October 2025, Bitcoin’s value dropped below $113,000, prompting analysts to issue urgent alerts that the cryptocurrency could dip under $100,000 before the month concludes. Renewed trade disputes between the U.S. and China, along with broader economic uncertainty, have fueled the selloff, disrupting Bitcoin’s typically strong October trend, often referred to as “Uptober.” CoinGlass data shows that

The market has since steadied, with BTC recovering to $115,041 at the time of writing, buoyed by hopes that U.S.-China trade tensions are easing, according to a Bitcoin Magazine piece
Kendrick also pointed to renewed inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and the possibility of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve as positive drivers. Meanwhile, the broader market is watching for major earnings announcements from technology and crypto companies, which could further impact Bitcoin’s direction.
Despite the recent recovery, technical signals remain mixed. BTC is encountering resistance at $117,600 and $122,000, while support is found at $106,900. Should prices fall below $105,000, the $96,000 level will be tested, which is crucial for sustaining the ongoing bull market, according to Bitcoin Magazine.
As Bitcoin navigates a challenging environment shaped by geopolitical strife, central bank decisions, and growing institutional involvement, investors are divided between caution and optimism. The next few weeks will be critical in determining whether October’s downturn is merely a short-term setback or a sign of more significant issues ahead.
