Market Sentiment for October 19, 2026

Crypto: bulls count on seasonality

The crypto market capitalisation stood at $2.76T on Monday, 2.5% below the levels seen seven days ago. The market has been trading within a narrow range around its 50-day moving average for the past four days, finding support on dips to $2.70T, but lacking the momentum to break above $2.80T. The movement over the past 24 hours is giving cause for cautious optimism, as the coins with the largest market capitalisation are gaining between 1% and 2%. Among the most liquid coins, those rising outnumber those falling by almost two to one. The leaders in growth are Hyperliquid, Uniswap and Solana, each gaining just over 2%. The biggest declines were seen in Hedera (−3.8%), Basic Attention Token (−2.4%) and Aptos (−2.2%). In traditional markets, a local bottom often forms towards the end of October. Consequently, investors in major coins are banking on seasonal trends working in their favour to recoup last week's losses.

Bitcoin is up 1.4% over the past 24 hours to $82.8K. Over the weekend, bulls continued to buy dips in Bitcoin near the 50-day moving average, creating a favourable backdrop for the entire cryptocurrency market. Risk appetite in Asian trading is helping BTC, but so far, this rise is better described as a rebound than a resumption of upward momentum. Last summer, fluctuations around this level stretched out over a month, and it was only the strong surge on 19 August that signalled the start of a bull run.

Today is Monday, October 19, and let’s talk about an alternative scenario for the EUR/USD market, one that has a very high probability of playing out. For this, we’ll use the four-hour chart, where, as a reminder, an ABC structure is currently developing.

🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📈 The US stock market is showing mixed trends in pre-market trading, with a slight upward bias: major technology companies are, on average, outperforming the market, while commodities and some consumer stocks remain under pressure.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 1.86%, Broadcom (AVGO) is up 3.24%, while Microsoft (MSFT) is down 0.13%.
In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is up 0.71%.

In the Energy sector, Exxon Mobil (XOM) is down 1.11%, while Chevron (CVX) is down 1.23%.

Pre-market trading reflects a cautious risk-on mood: interest in major tech names is supporting risk appetite, but weakness in the energy sector and parts of the cyclical sectors is dampening overall optimism.

This creates a neutral backdrop for the dollar: demand for safe-haven dollar assets is not strengthening, but there is as yet no significant pressure on the currency from the reallocation of global capital.

The pound is capitalising on expectations

• The weakening of the US dollar has allowed GBPUSD to mount a counterattack.

• The greenback is struggling due to waning interest in artificial intelligence.

The S&P 500 is on a dangerous path

• History shows that stock market bubbles burst.

• Overly optimistic expectations regarding corporate earnings could lead to a slump in the S&P 500.

Market Sentiment for October 20, 2026

The crypto market is holding just below a key level

The crypto market has lost 1.4%, falling back to $2.72T, closer to the lower boundary of the narrow consolidation range seen over the last few days. Stock indices are falling after Monday’s impressive rally, which is holding back cryptocurrency speculators. This indecision is fuelling the bears, as the upward-trending 50-day moving average continues to diverge from the current market capitalisation level. This is a rather worrying scenario, marking a shift from the confident bull market of August and September towards a sideways trend or even a correction, similar to what was seen for much of July and August. Meanwhile, altcoins are showing mixed movements. Basic Attention Token (+11.3%) and Theta (+3.9%) are once again the top performers, with Polkadot (+2.7%) also in the top three. Near Protocol (−6.7%), Uniswap (−3%) and Avalanche (−2.8%) are falling the most. The ratio of gainers to losers is approximately 1:4.

Bitcoin has lost around 1% over the past 24 hours, falling to $81.5K. Unlike the wider market, the leading cryptocurrency is holding above its 50-day MA. At the current level, BTC has returned to the high point of its early September rally, which was followed by a correction. This correction fitted neatly into a Fibonacci correction pattern. Still, the subsequent upward momentum was half as strong as technical analysis would suggest, whilst the October decline raised even more questions about the sustainability of the bull market.
