Crypto Markets will continue their increase this week after weaker than expected US working data and in the midst of a government stop that saw the market adopting the attitude that a federal reserve rate next month is an almost security.
Bitcoin increased another 2.15% in the last 24 -hour period to $ 118,700, while the wider market, measured by Coindesk 20 (CD20) index, increased 2.33% in the same period. The rally came despite or due to increasing uncertainty in traditional markets.
The spark came from an unexpected fall in US private wages. ADP data showed a 32,000 job drop in September against forecasts for a 50,000 gain. With the government that stops official working data, dealers are forced to lean on this miss of insight, leading to increased rate -cut bets.
Data from the Polymarket now shows that dealers weigh a 91% chance that Fed will reduce the rates by 25 BPS later this month, while on CME’s FedWatch tool, odds of such rate cutting stand 99%.
“Markets appear to have responded with relative stability in the first 24 hours after the US government’s shutdown,” Philipp Zentner, CEO and founder of Lifi Protocol, told Coindesk. “It is worth noting that during the last major shutdown in 2018–2019, which lasted for 35 days, the markets remained largely resistant, and we can see similar dynamics this time.”
This stability combined with a dovish macroeconomic environment is well -fed for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Derivater markets also reflect this shift, with open interest rises almost 4% to $ 216 billion according to Coinglass data. Similarly, Spot Crypto ETFs have seen more than $ 2.3 billion in net flow since the beginning of the week, according to Sosovalue.
Still, some warn about structural risks. “Strategies that rely on stock prizes for buying Bitcoin hit limits,” Justin Wang, co -founder of Zeus Network, told Coindesk. “Sustainable institutional Bitcoin -adoption requires infrastructure that does not depend on market mood and stock prizes.”
As the shutdown pulls on and financial signals become griming, investors appear to turn against alternative assets such as gold and crypto. In a speech with Coindesk pointed out Xyo-co-founder Markus Levin BTC’s pricing structure is “Shows a classic Elliott Wave completion within a rising wedge, a pattern that often signalizes consolidation before a crucial feature. “
“Institutional currents and derivatives activity will be critical for determining whether this setup is resolved with new heights or a deeper withdrawal. No matter what we enter one of Bitcoin’s historically most dynamic months and market participants should be prepared for volatility,” he said.

Token Talk
By Oliver Knight
- Plasma founder Paulie Punt has rejected claims that the newly issued XPL token had been sold by team members, despite the fact that across the chain suggested the opposite.
- Paul stated that no members of the plasma team have sold their XPL holdings since the launch. According to him, all investor and team allocations are subject to a three-year-old lock-up with a one-year cliff, which means they cannot be accessed or sold within this time frame. He emphasized that the circulating allegations of unloading insider were unfounded.
- The plasma founder also pushed back against characterizations that the team primarily consisted of “ex-blast” employees. Of the approx. 50 team members had only three prior stints on blur or explosion, he said. He noted that the group also includes professionals with backgrounds at Google, Facebook, Square, Themasek, Goldman Sachs and Nuvei, which emphasizes the project’s wider pedigree.
- Another point of contention has been Wintermute, a well-known crypto-trading company, often engaged as a market manufacturer for new projects. Paul denied that Plasma had a contract with Wintermute on market making or other services, where he said the company has no more information about Wintermute’s XPL Holdings than the public.
- Pseudonymous researcher Manamoon had initially claimed that over 600 million XPL tookens has been transferred from the project’s vault to exchanges since launch.
- XPL has worked relatively poorly since the launch and slipped from a high of $ 1.68 to $ 0.97, while the daily trading volume has remained stable at $ 2.6 billion.
Derivatives Location
- The BTC Futures Market shows a strong and lasting bullish trend where key meters reach new heights. Open interest rates have risen to a highlight at all times of $ 32.6 billion, reflecting a significant increase in exposure to the trader, where Binance is at the forefront of $ 13.6 billion.
- This record high interest is supported by a stable 3-month annual basis that has decided around 7%, indicating that the basis remains profitable and reinforces the positive market atmosphere. The combination of these two measurements suggests that the recent price action is driven by strong, conviction -based bullish positioning rather than short -lived speculation.
- BTC Options Market presents a complex and conflicting image of mood. While the 25 Delta Skew for short-term settings continues its downward trend, now at only 3.25%, suggesting that dealers are willing to pay a premium for uncovering downward risk, 24-hour put/call volume tells another story.
- Calls still dominate the volume of over 56%, indicating that a majority of traders are actively positioning a rally rather than a fall.
- Meanwhile, BTC’s financing rate is hovering on larger exchanges between an annual 9% to 10%, indicating a healthy demand for geared long positions.
- However, a significant outlier is abandoned where the degree of funding has spiked dramatically to over 60%. This isolated but extreme spike suggests intense, concentrated demand for long positions on this platform, but the overall market, including Altcoins, does not yet appear to be overheated with average financing to the top 30 coins at market value around 10% annually, according to coinglass.
