Nasdaq Hits Record High as Gold Plunges; Bitcoin Slides Back to $108K After Volatile Swings
Macro Environment: The U.S. government shutdown has entered its 21st day. Supported by strong corporate earnings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an intraday record high, while the Nasdaq closed lower and the S&P 500 barely stayed flat.

U.S.-China Trade Talks Lift Market Sentiment; Trump Pardons CZ
Macro Environment:
News that the U.S. and China will hold consultations on trade issues boosted market sentiment, with all three major U.S. stock indices closing higher. The U.S. dollar remained steady, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4%. Renewed risk appetite outweighed uncertainty ahead of Fridayâs CPI release. Gold rebounded after two days of decline, and oil prices surged sharply due to new sanctions on Russia â indicating that commodities remain heavily influenced by geopolitical tensions.
Crypto Market:
U.S. President Donald Trumpâs pardon of Binance founder CZ triggered a wave of optimism across crypto markets. The total crypto market cap rose 1.23%, with Bitcoin hitting a high of $111,000, pushing its dominance up to 59.2%. Altcoins showed a mild recovery in activity, with their trading volume share rising to 64.3%, though overall market volume still fell by 18.3%. Overall, market liquidity remained weak; investor sentiment improved slightly but stayed within the fear zone.
Project Developments:
Trending Tokens: ASTER, WLFI, YB
ASTER: Launched Rocket Launch, a liquidity support platform for early-stage projects.
CZ-related tokens such as BNB, ASTER, and WLFI surged after the pardon; rumors suggest CZ may serve as an advisor to WLFI.
YB: YieldBasis management fee will drive token value accrual; veYB holders will receive added benefits.
HYPE: Listed for spot trading on Robinhood.

U.S.-China Trade Talks Lift Market Sentiment; Trump Pardons CZ
Macro Environment:
News that the U.S. and China will hold consultations on trade issues boosted market sentiment, with all three major U.S. stock indices closing higher. The U.S. dollar remained steady, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4%. Renewed risk appetite outweighed uncertainty ahead of Fridayâs CPI release. Gold rebounded after two days of decline, and oil prices surged sharply due to new sanctions on Russia â indicating that commodities remain heavily influenced by geopolitical tensions.
Crypto Market:
U.S. President Donald Trumpâs pardon of Binance founder CZ triggered a wave of optimism across crypto markets. The total crypto market cap rose 1.23%, with Bitcoin hitting a high of $111,000, pushing its dominance up to 59.2%. Altcoins showed a mild recovery in activity, with their trading volume share rising to 64.3%, though overall market volume still fell by 18.3%. Overall, market liquidity remained weak; investor sentiment improved slightly but stayed within the fear zone.

Powell Turns Hawkish Unexpectedly; Crypto Market Lacks Momentum
Macro Environment: The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 bps as expected and announced that QT will end in December. However, the vote distribution revealed significant internal disagreement, and Powellâs hawkish remarks indicated that a December rate cut is âfar from guaranteed.â The market-implied probability of a December rate cut plunged from 95% to 65%. U.S. stocks opened higher but dropped sharply after Powellâs hawkish comments. Nvidiaâs market cap surpassed $5 trillion, supporting the Nasdaq to close higher, while the S&P 500 and Dow both ended lower. The U.S. Dollar Index rose above 99, and the Treasury yield curve shifted upward. Markets are closely watching the upcoming meeting between Chinese and U.S. leaders, which could present an opportunity to reshape bilateral relations.
Crypto Market: Crypto asset prices struggled to rise, with market sentiment falling back into fear. Bitcoin briefly rebounded to $113.6K before the U.S. market open but weakened afterward due to fading December rate-cut expectations, stabilizing around $110K. The total crypto market capitalization fell by 2.75%, while altcoinsâ market share rose to 40.9%, showing relative resilience amid the broader decline.
Project Developments
Hot Tokens: TRUMP, WLFI, CLANKER
TRUMP: Tokens related to TRUMP â including TRUMP, MELANIA, and WLFI â rallied collectively. The TRUMP meme issuer, Fight Fight Fight LLC, plans to acquire Republicâs U.S. business to promote token usage in startup fundraising.
WLFI: Appointed former Robinhood executive Mack McCain as General Counsel; plans to distribute 8.4 million WLFI tokens to participants in the USD1 Points Program.
CLANKER: Coinbase launched CLANKER perpetual futures trading; Farcaster acquired Clanker.
SYRUP: Maple Financeâs AUM rose to $5 billion, and October protocol revenue hit an all-time high of $2.159 million.
Crypto Fear & Greed Index: 34 (down from 51 24 hours ago) â Fear
Todayâs Outlook
Chinese President Xi Jinping to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Busan, South Korea, on October 30 (local time).

U.S. Stocks End October with Continuous Gains; Bitcoin Rebounds to $111K
Macro Environment:
Strong earnings from tech stocks pushed U.S. equities higher, with all three major indexes closing up on Friday and marking at least six consecutive months of gains to end October. Following the FOMC meeting, three Fed officials voiced opposition to a rate cut in October. Meanwhile, the near-record duration of the U.S. government shutdown has delayed key economic data releases, further increasing uncertainty over the Fedâs rate-cut outlook. The interest rate market now prices in a 63% probability of a rate cut in December.
Crypto Market:
Major cryptocurrencies have rebounded for three consecutive days since Friday, with Bitcoin peaking at $111.2K, maintaining a 60% market dominance. While altcoin market share declined slightly, trading volume share rebounded. Despite weekend sentiment recovery, the overall market remains in the fear zone.
