Bitcoin or Investors Fatigue?

[osasshem]

The month of October, also called Uptober showed a promising strength at the early days of the month, surfacing at the price of $126k as its new ATH recorded on 6th October, 2025. This ATH and the expectation of the price increase the month normally gives; made investors, traders and all crypto enthusiast caught off guard. Ever since, the market has continuously been on a downward price movement, and this has entered the month of November.

This makes me want to ask, is the market now facing fatigue after the disappointment of Uptober or the investors are now being cautious after the high rate of liquidation faced in the month of Uptober? And will November continue with this dip, giving room for the bear market to set in or a chance for altcoins to surface in this period?

It is recorded that BlackRock moved $383.9 million in Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime along with $122 million in Ethereum, of which did not show any effect in the market.

BlackRock Bitcoin Move

It's interesting to hear the fund can be cashed out directly and isn't sold as shares. The lack of market makers taking it on from BlackRock is interesting - that probably shows institutional fear in Bitcoin and Ethereum too short term (unless BR are just planning to mitigate and keep a high amount of liquidity available for if and when sells occur).

When we hit a bear market, it'll be the first one with these huge funds. I can imagine, like what happened with CME, that there'll be gaps, mergins and other metrics to speculate on.

A lot has happened in the crypto market in October. Initially, Bitcoin's new ATH, then the price of Bitcoin decreased slightly due to price correction. Due to the delay in ETF approval due to the US government shutdown, Donald Trump's tariff policy, all these reasons, the month of October has not been good for Bitcoin at all. Among them, this month saw the highest liquidation in the history of cryptocurrency. Despite all this, Bitcoin is still above $100,000, meaning that the current price of Bitcoin is $20,000 less than the highest price. I think nothing is over yet, meaning that it cannot be said that a bear market is starting. After so much dollar liquidation, investors are being a little cautious or their cash flow has decreased due to which they are not able to buy as before, which is why the price of Bitcoin is a little lower. I will still consider it as a correction stage. But if altcoins start to bear season alongside Bitcoin, I would see it as an opportunity to buy Bitcoin. Since those who invest in Bitcoin are told to invest for the long term, and since we are investing for the long term, and since we believe that no matter what the current price of Bitcoin is, its value will increase much more in the future, Bitcoin holders have nothing to fear about the price of Bitcoin falling.

The liquidation that happened in the month of October will really make a lot of investors to be more cautious of the market and that may also push some to take their profits out of the investment. A lot of positive sentiment was talked about of the month of October even before arising, but many were left dissatisfied at the end of the month which makes the bitcoin market be furthermore not a market to be able to predict as a result of past historical trends.

We are already in the month of November with today being the fourth day of the month. So far, November hasn’t shown any sign of the bearish market slowing down to get some hope for a bullish market, we are just hoping we don’t go into the bear run with the market already showing signs and trying to break the support of $100K. If this happens, many would give up on the bullish market trend and have full confidence that the bear market is on.

One hopes that the more leveraged people who are removed from the market the people who are in bitcoin for the benefits and uses will remain and we can resume an upward trajectory.  People speculating in the market are playing with fire.

[mary63frank]

The sharp drop and $19 billion in liquidations following the $126k ATH suggest investor caution and forced deleveraging are driving the current dip, rather than simple fatigue. Historically strong for crypto, November faces a mixed outlook: it could continue the dip toward a bear market, or it might present a chance for altcoins to gain traction if Bitcoin dominance declines and positive economic cues emerge.

Long-term investors aren't tired, and neither is Bitcoin. It's simply because the market has been holding prices for a long time, with prices that are unusually high since the uptrend, leading to the phrase "disappointment" due to sudden liquidations.
October is over, and I don't consider it a bad month, even though the monthly returns differed from the usual closing price at the end of October.

As for whether the decline will continue in November, it's likely it will. The assumption that this is the beginning of another price decline has already occurred. Given this situation, there's no need to panic, especially for large investors.

BlackRock Bitcoin Move

Yes you are right it has happened every time. But after this fall, Bitcoin has created a new ATH in the market every time. Although this is a very scary thing for a new investor. But they should not be mistaken that Bitcoin is always on top and no matter what the fall is, the market has returned to an upward trend after a while.

Every investor needs to have faith in Bitcoin. One thing should always be remembered that Bitcoin is a very volatile market, you cannot say when it will happen, currently the market is falling, in a few days the market may rise again as before. There is no idea that it will always be upward. Every investor should have faith in Bitcoin and take advantage of this fall. For example, they should buy aggressively at this time and hold it for the long term.

Yes, big companies like BlackRock invest in Bitcoin but there has been no such effect on the Bitcoin market. It is never possible to say why this happened. Because Bitcoin is not under anyone's control, if any person or bank was controlled, then it could be said that for some reason it was not affected. But it is expected that the Bitcoin market will turn upward again very soon. BlackRock has taken a new decision regarding Bitcoin, which is to launch a Bitcoin ETF in Australia. If this happens, then perhaps a very big impact can be seen in the Bitcoin market.

This year, the October month is bad for Bitcoin, as it is a red month, not green one while in median and average from previous years, October is one of best months.

Will they actually sell Bitcoin and Ethereum at Coinbase or it's just movement to trigger FUD in the market, then they will move bitcoins and Ethereum from Coinbase Prime back to their own wallets.

But you know, BlackRock use Coinbase as their custodian.

It appears like the market is showing classic post rally exhaustion. After hitting a recent ATH at $126k, gain-taking and over leveraged positions likely raises a wave of liquidations. That sort of shock normally leaves traders cautious and thin in liquidity, which tells why the weak follow through to November.

Talking about transfers from Black rocks, it is probably a custody or rebalancing step instead of a buy or sell signal, it is why it doesn't move the market.
In brief: the market is cooling off, it isn't collapsing. November might remain choppy, having Bitcoin consolidating and altcoins slowly picking up some attention as soon as volatility settles

[Alana Arden]

Yes, the current market structure clearly shows that the Bitcoin market is now in a correction phase after the Uptober boom. Just as the new ATH of $126k gave hope to investors, the subsequent decline has brought many to face reality, especially those who have made new investments. The gradual selling pressure that has built up at the ATH of $126k is not just a reflection of market fatigue but also a reflection of investors' risk management. Especially after this high level of liquidation, everyone has become more prudent now. However, every investor should have faith in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is always volatile, and even though the market is currently falling, the market may return to its previous level in a few days.

And if the huge transfer of BTC and ETH by institutional giants like BlackRock does not have any effect on the price, it indicates that the market is now looking for liquidity and direction assurance, not just large transactions. Maybe November will be the time of restructuring that will determine the direction of the market, whether we will see a bear trend or a new altcoin awakening.
However, the current situation has proven that crypto is no longer just a trade but a reflection of institutional decisions and global sentiment.

I think investors are obviously now being more cautious than before due to a major reason like the liquidation that happened in October and for a fact that we are in the yuletide season where speculation has a higher effect.
Although there is still much fear that concerns entering into a bearish season, the rate of adoption and volatility is still healthy but it boils down to bitcoin to hold its ground in the current price level market that it has established.

There will be a good chance for some high performance altcoins to show their strength if Bitcoin holds its current price level rather than plunge deep into a bearish season in this November, but one thing we must remember is that Bitcoin is the king and leader of all these coins, therefore if it is affected by a deep bearish run, all altcoins won't be spared from experiencing same.

[bitzizzix]

At the very least, Uptober could be a repeat of what we saw, with Bitcoin performing well in early October and even reaching a new record high. However, as we know, Bitcoin is unpredictable, as anything can happen without us realizing it, such as bad news that can impact Bitcoin's movements.
Given the current situation, many investors are worried that the decline will deepen and they will suffer greater losses, which they are doing by selling, which will only worsen the situation. However, this decline will not affect long-term investors, and they see it as an opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin. And don't worry, because Bitcoin will eventually recover, and it's only a matter of time.

Fatigue? it's a usual thing that we see with Bitcoin. A correction that comes unexpectedly but that Uptober was we have thought will come but no.

And will November continue with this dip, giving room for the bear market to set in or a chance for altcoins to surface in this period?

No one knows if this dip is about to continue for this month. But we're having some healthy signs of recovery. And forget about altcoins when Bitcoin is dropping, it's the huge mover of the market especially with the altcoins.

yeah  I believe Uptober absolutely spent the miel of this year doing this,,  it came in hot &  left like it owed someone money, LMAO. However, I do not see evidence of complete investiot fatigue but more like over leverage, hype fatigue due to whales shuffling. BlackRock is interesting, but big wallets do not necessarily indicate price action, it could just as easily be repositioning or prepping for OTC. November could also prove to surprise us especially if we get some base sentiment. For now, we just have to have patience. With bitcoin, there is typically a weak hand shake out in a correction, before the mext leg up. Whatever I got another chance to stake more 1000 $$ into my this year Hodling jar..

[michellee]

Investors become cautious about entering the market because there is a chance that the market will go down this month. But they still have a hope that everything will be back to normal and they will make a profit again. It is just a matter of time for that so the investors will wait for the price increases. No matter how long, they can be patient and accumulate more to fill their bag with Bitcoin. This situation set a chance for altcoins to surface but no one knows when that will happen and the investors just wait and see.

[JoyMarsha]

It was really a disappointing October. Nobody sees it coming that the ATH we had in the month will later show a downtrend movement that we never saw in previous Octobers.

Well, nothing remains permanent. It is never written that every October will keep showing green candlelight movement in the crypto market. That's to remind us to always trade with caution because the market can leave us disappointed when we have a strong belief that it will soar to a particular amount in a particular year or month.

October was a month to shake off weak hands from the market while investors with golden hands buy their coins and hodli. This isn't the first dip that has happened after Trump took over power. Long-term investors are not bothered by this dip rather, they see it as an opportunity to buy more.

Nobody can tell what the month of November has for bitcoin because the price is going dipper compared to that of October. No need to be worried about the price so that you don't make wrong decisions. Only invest with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

I don't know if this is what we call rally exhaustion, on the other hand, if this is it then we might be in a bear market already which I don't think that we are. Maybe we are tired, yes, but once we had that one good news again, for sure the bull are going to run again. That's how the market is, just one FOMO and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon again and doesn't want to missed it. So let see this November, October is really unexpected, but we still have some time to make that final push in the market. We've recovered from $98k as the price rallies past the support of $103k, as we're up 3.x%. So there's no exhaustion, just everyone is waiting but willing to pounce back.

Bitcoin went below $100K which shows a strong sign of a bear market being imminent already. The bull cycle has performed well even though it is not above expectations, we just need to keep up with the market condition as the market is entirely unpredictable. As for the market to being able to bounce back above $100K to record another all time high will be left with the decision of the investors if they want to sell now, or wait a bit, or hold till the next bull run.

This is one of the most tricky bull cycle while left everyone in surprises. Hopefully we get to see some improvements in the market in the coming days, because the price that lead it to go down below $100K was very alarming, good to see it trade back above $100K, hoped we get to see a push upwards and not the bear run already in.
