Market Sentiment Recovers From Extreme Fear

Funding rates remain below 0.01 percent, indicating no excessive long positioning exists currently. In fact, funding rates turned negative multiple times during the past two weeks. Traders demonstrate a cautious approach rather than aggressive bullish speculation on Bitcoin price movements.
The Federal Reserve meeting on October 29 presents another potential catalyst for Bitcoin markets. CME Group’s FedWatch data shows a 96.7 percent probability of a quarter-point rate cut. Lower interest rates typically support Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency market valuations going forward.
