BTC price pressures $107,000 range floor

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that the BTC price action dipped to near $107,000.

That level marked the bottom of the local range for BTC/USD, and was thus key for bulls to defend.

Crypto joined US stock markets in a comedown from another 0.25% interest-rate cut by the US Federal Reserve the day prior.

The would-be macro catalyst of the week, a trade deal between the US and China to avert steep tariffs from Nov. 1, lacked certainty despite hopeful commentary from President Donald Trump.

In a post on Truth Social following a meeting with China’s Xi Jinping, Trump said that the two “agreed on many things.”

“I had a truly great meeting with President Xi of China. There is enormous respect between our two Countries, and that will only be enhanced with what just took place,” the post stated. 

“We agreed on many things, with others, even of high importance, being very close to resolved.”

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index both opened down on the day, while gold gained, climbing back above $4,000 per ounce.

High liquidations characterized Crypto’s struggle as traders’ macro bets unraveled. Data from monitoring resource CoinGlass indicates that 24-hour liquidations reached over $1.1 billion at the time of writing.

Some, including trader CrypNuevo, saw Bitcoin repeating “usual” behavior around Fed rate meetings.

“Nothing to worry about in terms of market structure or trend –  price is now retracing the new imbalances created this evening,” he told X followers.

CrypNuevo noted that price had filled its latest weekend “gap” in CME Group’s Bitcoin futures market.

Other perspectives were a lot less relaxed. Trader Roman warned that since BTC/USD was failing to follow stocks even during periods of upside, their trend reversal could spark another price rout.

CoinGlass confirmed that October 2025 was now “red” for Bitcoin for the first time since 2018, with a single trading day left to turn the situation around. 

As Cointelegraph reported, the average gain in October since 2013 has been 20%.
