What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Crypto markets opened Q4 on a strong note, with total market cap up 4.2%. The U.S. government shutdown drove investors toward alternative assets including Bitcoin, while gold, the classic safe haven, hit fresh all-time highs. Weak U.S. private payroll data further lifted sentiment by boosting Fed rate-cut expectations. October, often dubbed “Uptober,” has historically been one of Bitcoin’s strongest months, reinforcing the bullish backdrop. BTC ETFs have drawn $1.2B in inflows over the past three trading days. At the same time, rotation from BTC into altcoins may sustain, supporting broader market strength. BTC has support near $117.5K, and crossing $120K could open more upside.”
