Bitcoin's 5% decline in October is the worst in nearly a decade, with macroeconomic risks overshadowing typical month-end rallies and creating uncertainty in the crypto market.
Bitcoin is experiencing its worst October since 2015, down 5% month-to-date, with macro risks such as the U.S.–China tariff standoff and weak liquidity suppressing potential rallies. Despite this downturn, historical trends suggest a possibility of recovery later in the month. Other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana also faced declines, while stablecoins revealed instability in the recent $500 billion crypto market sell-off.
