The Federal Reserve is expected to deliver its second interest rate cut of 2025 this Wednesday, even as the ongoing U.S. government shutdown leaves policymakers without access to crucial economic data. The standoff between Republicans and Democrats over health care subsidies has halted most official reports, forcing the Fed to make decisions with limited insight into the economy’s health. Analysts anticipate a quarter-point cut, lowering the benchmark rate to 3.75–4.00%, as officials weigh inflation pressures against signs of labor market weakness. With only limited data available, including a recent inflation report showing prices up 3.0% year-on-year, the Fed faces one of its most uncertain policy meetings in years.

Despite recent skepticism, market data suggests XRP’s downside liquidity is nearly exhausted, meaning there’s limited room for further decline. While short-term price fluctuations are still possible, the lack of liquidity below current levels often leads to a liquidity grab higher, as exchanges and market makers seek deeper zones where trading volume and profits increase. Analysts believe this setup could soon trigger a strong upward move, catching many traders off guard.

Strategy has added 390 BTC to its treasury for approximately $43.4 million at an average price of $111,053 per Bitcoin, marking a 26% BTC yield year-to-date in 2025. As of October 26, 2025, the company now holds a total of 640,808 BTC, acquired for around $47.44 billion at an average price of $74,032 per BTC. This latest accumulation reinforces Strategy’s long-term conviction in Bitcoin as a premier store of value asset.

This week could define global markets — and possibly ignite the biggest bull run in history. Here’s what’s lined up:

Monday: Quantitative Tightening (QT) ends

Tuesday: FOMC expected to announce a rate cut

Wednesday: The Fed to inject $1.5 trillion in liquidity

Thursday: Potential US–China trade deal

Friday: S&P 500 earnings season kicks off

Saturday: Tariff deadline approaches

With liquidity returning and macro catalysts aligning, traders believe a massive risk-on rally could begin as

Bitcoin’s breakout above the $112K resistance zone marks a major turning point, confirming renewed bullish strength in the ongoing market cycle. The move signals that the bull market is far from over, with analysts eyeing more upside in the weeks ahead. A short-term pullback before the FOMC meeting is expected, offering a potential buy-the-dip opportunity as BTC retests support on lower timeframes. If key levels hold, Bitcoin could be on track to hit a new all-time high in November.

The BNB Foundation has completed its 33rd quarterly BNB burn, permanently destroying 1,441,281.413 BNB valued at approximately $1.66 billion. This latest burn reduces the total BNB supply to 137,738,379.26 tokens, bringing it closer to the network’s target cap of 100 million. The quarterly burn program is a core part of BNB’s deflationary model, designed to increase scarcity and support long-term value growth for holders.

Pi (PI) surged 15.61%, sparking optimism for a potential 5x–10x rally as excitement builds around the upcoming Pi Network DEX. Long-time pioneers who mined Pi for years are reportedly choosing to HODL rather than sell, anticipating major ecosystem growth. The Pi Core Team aims to counter centralized exchange manipulation by introducing its own decentralized exchange — a move expected to enhance transparency, liquidity, and long-term confidence in the Pi ecosystem.

OKX, which has completed KYB verification with Pi Network, announced that the Pi SWIFT Integration has been successfully activated. This marks the internal launch of Pi’s cross-border banking capability, effectively connecting Pi Network to the global SWIFT payment system. The integration could open the door for seamless international transactions using Pi, signaling a major milestone for the project’s transition toward real-world utility and financial interoperability.

Altcoin investors are showing familiar signs of early-cycle hesitation — many are simply relieved to be breaking even after months of volatility. The sentiment echoes Q4 2019, when traders sold their holdings at breakeven during the first rally, only to watch those same coins surge 20x in the following months. With market momentum building again, history may be hinting that patience could pay off for those holding strong.

Uphold has officially partnered with Vast Bank in a strategic move led by CEO Greg Kiss, former Ripple Chief Revenue Officer. The collaboration enhances liquidity for RLUSD — Uphold’s stablecoin that leverages XRP for settlement and compliance under U.S. Regulation E. This partnership marks another step in integrating XRP into real-world financial systems, strengthening Uphold’s position in regulated digital payments and expanding Ripple’s ecosystem reach within U.S. banking infrastructure.

Bitcoin’s latest price structure is echoing the 2024 ETF pump pattern, reflecting how market psychology often repeats. The chart shows a familiar descending wedge and compression below resistance — a setup that previously led to a powerful breakout. With liquidity and resistance between $115K and $120K still to clear, momentum continues to build. If Bitcoin breaks above this range, analysts say it could trigger another explosive rally, opening the path to new highs.

Evernorth Holdings has accumulated 388,710,606.03 XRP, reaching nearly 95% of its acquisition target. The firm’s average purchase price of around $2.44 is emerging as a key psychological and technical level for Ripple’s future price action. Analysts suggest that if XRP sustains momentum above this range, it could signal growing institutional confidence and strengthen long-term bullish sentiment around the asset.

XRP price is holding steady above its recent swing equilibrium, forming higher lows and signaling potential bullish continuation. Traders are eyeing the 2.55–2.59 demand zone particularly near 2.5529, where a fair value gap aligns as a possible entry point if a bullish reversal forms. Immediate resistance sits near 2.67, while a break below 2.5529 could flip the bias bearish toward 2.40 support. Market participants await confirmation signals before positioning for the next move.

Ethereum (ETH) is showing strong bullish momentum, reclaiming a crucial weekly demand zone between $3,800 and $4,100. The price is up 1.84% today, trading near resistance at $4,235.64. On the 4-hour chart, ETH’s structure remains positive, with support at $3,796.16. If bulls can hold above the current zone and break resistance, analysts expect Ethereum to target the $5,000 mark, signaling a potential continuation of the broader market rally.

$ZEC is soaring as the entry plan plays out perfectly, hitting resistance at the 1.618 Fibonacci projection. Traders are now watching closely to see whether Zcash will retrace for a healthy pullback before targeting the 2.618 extension or face a deeper correction back to the breakout zone. As momentum heats up, one truth remains in crypto markets: “What goes up, must come down.” The next move could define Zcash’s mid-term trend.

Privacy-focused crypto Zcash (ZEC) is making a comeback as investors highlight its strong fundamentals and long-term value. Like Bitcoin, it’s built as a store of value — but with advanced privacy features that could prove crucial in an era of rising surveillance and quantum threats. Since launching in 2016, Zcash has built credibility and a loyal “cult-like” community. With growing interest from top minds like Naval Ravikant, analysts say ZEC remains deeply undervalued at just 0.33% of Bitcoin’s market cap.

Bitcoin soared 3.41% to $115,243, smashing resistance levels and triggering massive short liquidations. Ethereum surged 6.91% to $4,212 amid whale accumulation and rising stablecoin activity. Institutional interest exploded Sharplink Gaming added $80M in ETH, and JPMorgan began accepting crypto collateral for loans. Solana hit $203.97 following Hong Kong’s first spot SOL ETF launch. With Japan debuting its yen stablecoin and DeFi volumes topping $1 trillion, the crypto market is in full-blown bullish mode.
