Bitcoin demand “weakness” closes out Uptober

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that the BTC price was recovering losses from Friday’s Wall Street trading session.

This began with sell pressure — a frequent phenomenon throughout the week — involving both US exchanges and the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Onchain analytics platform Glassnode said that ETF outflows highlight “rising sell pressure from TradFi investors and renewed weakness in institutional demand.”

The Fed delivered the expected rate cut, but the hawkish tone for December has cooled optimism,” it told X followers.

Trader Daan Crypto Trades, meanwhile, said that a true move could only come once BTC price decisively crossed the upper or lower boundary of its local range. The two key levels of interest were $107,000 and $116,000.

Discussing the topic, commentator Matthew Hyland added that the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator continued to imply record volatility was on the way.

“Monthly Bollinger Bands have reached the most extreme levels in Bitcoin’s entire history,” he wrote on X.

Bollinger Band narrowing has long been on the radar for market participants.

Last month, the indicator’s creator, John Bollinger, said that it would soon be “time to pay attention” to volatility on both Bitcoin and major altcoins.

FORT STOCKTON, TEXAS – MARCH 24: The sun sets behind a pumpjack during a gusty night on March 24, 2024 in Fort Stockton, Texas. Employment in Texas has reached record highs, with the oil- and gas-producing Permian Basin, which covers a large swathe of west Texas, leading the way. Permian Basin towns of Midland and Odessa notched 2.6 and 3.5 percent unemployment respectively, according to the report touted earlier this month by Gov. Gregg Abbott.

U.S. Oil Production 1860-2024. Energy Information Administration It is now clear that the U.S. is on track this year to set its third consecutive annual record for crude oil production. Year-to-date production through the week ending September 12, 2025 shows a production level of 13.44 million BPD, which is about 1.9% ahead of last year’s record pace.
