- Bitcoin price tumbles 6.2% to $103,612, with a 29% spike in volume signaling strong profit-taking.
- The 50-week SMA at $101,677 remains key support; a break above $110,000 could reignite momentum toward $120,000.
- Bitcoin dominance slips below 55%, hinting at an upcoming altcoin rally.
Bitcoin price has dropped 6.2% in the last 24 hours to trade at $103,612 as of 6:24 a.m. EST on a 29% surge in trading volume to $91 billion. But as October 2025 unfolds, the crypto market is buzzing with excitement and caution.
Bitcoin Price Sharp Pullback Spreads Jitters Among Traders
Bitcoin shattered records recently, reaching a new all-time high of $125,000 earlier this month, but a sharp pullback has traders on edge. This week’s chart shows BTC closing at $104,792, down 9.07% from last week’s opening price of $115,250.
Volume has surged 29% in the downturn, signaling some profit-taking after the surge. Yet, the 50-week SMA at $101,677 holds firm as support, although price action is breaking below the ascending curve from the July 2023 lows.
A red downtrend from the recent peak warns of short-term volatility, but bullish green arrows point to potential rebounds toward $120,000 if it breaks resistance at $110,000.
Market Overview & Bitcoin Key Indicators
Bitcoin’s dominance is slipping below 55%, a classic sign that altcoins are gearing up for their season, much like the pre-alt rally phase in late 2021.
Historically, October kicks off a bullish shift, and analysts are forecasting a big push. The chart’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 47 indicates a neutral position, not oversold, while the MACD shows a bearish crossover at -1,389, accompanied by a rising histogram, suggesting a potential build-up of momentum downward.
Lower pane MACD lines (blue signal over orange) crossed bullishly in September, aligning with the breakout above $100,000.
2025 is the Wood Snake year, and it echoes 1965, when a 47-day correction led to a bull run. Markets love these repeats. For instance, there were 47-day pauses before highs in 2017 and 2021.
The zodiac’s sneaky energy fits the chart’s coiled spring, where price consolidated in a tight range from $90,000-$100,000 before exploding.
Key Dates and Bitcoin Price Predictions
Investors may want to watch November 17-23, especially the 19th, as it ties to Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday (April 5, 1975). In correlation to 1965, the gematria of Satoshi’s birthday links to 50, the snake’s number.
What’s more, it’s the 47th week, 47 days from the October lows. Lunar alignments mirror past cycle tops, so expect fireworks around these dates, maybe even a peak.
Final Thoughts
Fear is the market maker’s tool, so investors should stick to charts over headlines. Altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and XRP could surge into discovery, sparking euphoria in the coming few days.
XRP crushed it in November 2013’s snake year with 177% gains, and extrapolating to this year, the asset may hit $15-$25, topping out mid-November and potentially shadowing BTC’s green trend.
Seasonality suggests 20-40% gains in October, eyeing BTC at $137,000-$160,000. However, the 47-day November run-up could cap the cycle.
