Bitcoin has concluded its weakest October performance in six years, according to Crypto Daily. This underperformance has raised concerns among investors about whether the cryptocurrency is approaching a bottom or setting a potential bull trap.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading just below its 50-day moving average, a key technical indicator that traders use to gauge short-term momentum. The 200-day moving average, another critical level, will be closely watched to determine the next major price direction.
Despite the recent weakness, some long-term projections remain optimistic. Bitwise, for instance, has set a target of $1.6 million for Bitcoin by 2036, suggesting confidence in the cryptocurrency's long-term growth potential.
The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market capitalization of $2.75 trillion. Bitcoin's 24-hour price change is -0.99%, and it is down 4.88% over the past week, currently trading at $80,041 with a market cap of $1.61 trillion.
The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment. This suggests that investors are cautiously observing the market, waiting for clearer signals before making significant moves.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution).

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.31M (about $79,765.00), down 1.5% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
