It was a quiet overnight session for Bitcoin, holding steady around $115K with a modest gain of less than 0.20%. But the same can’t be said for altcoins. Hyperliquid led the charge among majors, while several others came close to posting double-digit gains on the day. It has been a strong 48 hours for alts, especially considering the drawdowns over the weekend. While most, if not all, remain below their Friday levels, the bounce has opened clear accumulation opportunities, which still remain as the broader crypto market trades below all-time highs.

Most of the volume overnight was in the traditional space. The Nasdaq and S&P500 both recovered well and are now less than 2% from their respective all-time highs. Meanwhile, gold and silver printed fresh highs, with silver surging over 4% and now trading above $52. It seems trade war and tariff concerns have cooled for now, as risk assets across the board have moved higher since last weekend’s threats. That is a welcome signal for all markets, especially crypto, which took the hardest hit. Still, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index sits in fear territory at 38, unchanged from yesterday despite BTC holding above $115K.

More than likely, we have seen the lows for this move. If Bitcoin can clear $118K, the all-time high discussion will be back on the table and ‘Uptober’ can resume in full. Until then, the market is still offering plenty of discounted entries for quality projects. Make sure you are taking advantage.

Stormrake Spotlight: Hyperliquid (HYPE) ($40.14)

HYPE stood out yesterday, gaining over 7% and nearly reclaiming its pre-liquidation levels. Despite this, it still trades well below the key buying range and remains over 40% from its all-time high. Given its relative strength and strong recovery, HYPE is likely to continue leading the altcoin pack.

BTC/USD Key Levels and Price Action:

Bitcoin is holding firm and maintaining bullish momentum, but it is struggling to sustain a move above $116K. It looks like bulls may be running out of short-term steam. That is not a bad thing. BTC has already bounced over 5% from $109.5K on Sunday and is now up more than 10% from the liquidation low at $102K. A healthy pullback to $112K would create another higher low, allowing momentum to reset before a proper test of $118K.
