ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph citing on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant, in the past 30 days, the number of small Bitcoin transactions (under $10,000) has increased by 13%, reflecting that retail investors are gradually returning to the market, in line with the upward trend in Bitcoin prices.CryptoQuant analyst Cauê Oliveira pointed out: "Retail demand has increased by about 13% in the past 30 days, a phenomenon that only occurred in March this year when Bitcoin was nearing its historical high. In the past 4 months, the activity of small investors has declined, while large holders have maintained high-frequency trading and accumulation." Data shows that in the 30 days before October 20, Bitcoin prices rose nearly 10%.

ChainCatcher news, as Bitcoin attempts to break through the resistance level of $70,000 again, reaching a new all-time high, analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein have stated that the inflow of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, the crypto stock market, and retail trading sentiment indicate a very high risk appetite.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani wrote that as the likelihood of Donald Trump, who openly supports cryptocurrencies, winning the U.S. presidential election continues to rise, and his competitor Kamala Harris has also made more optimistic and clearer statements on cryptocurrency policy, the market seems less concerned about downside risks and finds Bitcoin attractive.

ChainCatcher news, QCP released a weekly summary stating that this week has been an exciting one for cryptocurrencies. BTC rose by 10.48%, reaching a high of $69,000, with the psychological barrier of $70,000 now within reach. There are no major macro data points to act as resistance next week.The inflow of BTC ETFs this week has been substantial. As of Friday, ETF inflows reached $203.3 million, and there has been a net inflow trend for six consecutive days. The continued inflow into ETFs indicates that institutional demand remains strong. With the SEC approving Bitcoin ETF options to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this morning, it is believed that this will provide the necessary liquidity for ETFs, attracting sustainable capital inflows.Bitcoin's market share currently stands at a multi-year high of 58%, a level last seen in April 2021. As it approaches the key resistance level of 60%, we believe this will lay the foundation for a strong recovery of Layer 1 (L1) tokens.As the U.S. stock market approaches historical highs, the yen continues to weaken, and with the U.S. elections approaching, risk appetite will only strengthen further. This will drive up risk assets and support the "Uptober" rebound narrative.

ChainCatcher News: The U.S. Department of Commerce announced yesterday that September retail sales exceeded expectations with a month-on-month increase of 0.4%, highlighting the resilience of U.S. consumer spending, which continues to provide strong momentum for the U.S. economy. A series of robust economic data recently has reinforced market expectations for only a 25 basis point rate cut.According to 4E monitoring, after the data release, U.S. stocks opened higher but then fell, with the S&P reaching a new intraday high before turning down, and the Nasdaq also nearly erasing its early gains. However, the Dow Jones reached new intraday and closing highs, marking two consecutive days of gains. By the close, the S&P 500 was down 0.02%, the Nasdaq was up 0.04%, and the Dow was up 0.37%. The cryptocurrency market followed U.S. stocks with slight fluctuations; at the time of writing, Bitcoin was at 67,972, up 0.8%, and Ethereum was at 2,632, up 0.43%.In the forex and commodities sector, positive economic data pushed the U.S. dollar index to an 11-week high, rebounding 3.34% since October. The European Central Bank is expected to cut rates on Thursday, causing the euro to decline for four consecutive days to an 11-week low. Last week, U.S. EIA crude oil inventories unexpectedly decreased, indicating strong demand, which led to a rise of about 0.40% in international oil prices, halting a four-day decline and moving away from two-week lows. Spot gold benefited from uncertainties surrounding the U.S. elections and expectations of more monetary policy easing, approaching 2,700 dollars, setting a new historical high, with an increase of over 30% this year.Recent data shows that retail sales continue to grow, with better-than-expected non-farm payroll data, a stronger-than-expected unemployment rate, and a recent cooling trend in initial jobless claims. Coupled with the steady decline in U.S. inflation and the upward revision of long-term GDP growth rates beyond expectations, this provides strong support for the "soft landing" logic of the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, a new round of global rate cuts is accelerating, significantly improving financial market sentiment and generally increasing investors' risk appetite. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, commodities like gold, and forex.

ChainCatcher message, Bitfinex Alpha research report shows that with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's comments at Jackson Hole hinting at a possible rate cut, risk assets have generally risen, and BTC surged to $65,000.This statement led to a decline in the dollar, boosting the stock market, with the S&P 500 index nearing historical highs. Bitcoin, which had lagged behind the stock market, saw a significant increase of 6.06% in a single day, marking its second-largest single-day gain since May.This rise occurred against the backdrop of an increasingly positive correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S. stock market. Since hitting a low in early August, Bitcoin has been relatively weak compared to stocks. Friday's price surge also witnessed a sharp increase in correlation, indicating that risk appetite has returned to the Bitcoin market.

ChainCatcher news, 10xResearch stated in its latest analysis that Bitcoin attempted to rebound yesterday but failed to break through the triangle pattern.However, with changes in election odds and a slightly favorable risk appetite environment, Bitcoin may attempt to break upwards again. Nevertheless, significant risks remain, which could lead to a pullback in late September, followed by a potential rebound before the end of the year. All three reversal indicators show strong rebounds, with momentum exceeding its moving averages, which is an encouraging sign of improved market technical conditions. The possibility of rising to $65,000 is within range. However, we will closely monitor the direction of the triangle breakout. Risk management remains crucial.As expected, following the sharp decline after the crash on August 5, long positions in perpetual contracts are limited. Ethereum's open interest remains relatively unchanged, while Bitcoin's small short positions may be closed, driving prices up. From a positive perspective, derivative positions are no longer overly extended, unlike in late July when excessive leverage led to an inevitable pullback.
