Bitcoin is trying to recover after the strong bearish wave, but the current momentum looks weak. Every time the price approaches the $114,200 area, strong selling pressure appears, indicating that the bears are still in control of the market. The price structure remains in a Lower High – Lower Low pattern, which is a clear feature of a downtrend. Despite the attempts to rise, the small candles and weak momentum reflect that buyers do not have enough strength to change the trend. If the price fails to break the $114,200 level, there is a high probability that it will fall back towards $107,200, an area where some demand may emerge again. Overall market sentiment remains cautious and lacking in confidence in this current bounce.

Gold is under new pressure after the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 3.1%, beating expectations of 2.9%. This data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates high for longer, prompting investors to move away from safe-haven gold and back to the US dollar. On the 4H chart, gold is moving inside a converging triangle pattern, and after a short corrective move, the price is still unable to cross the resistance area near 4300. Weak upward momentum and formation of lower highs indicate that sellers are in control of the market. The current scenario suggests a decline towards the 4050 support area, which is intersected with the lower border of the triangle and the long-term ascending trend line. If this level is broken, gold may continue to fall deeper. In short, with continued high inflation and the strength of the dollar, the general trend for gold over the next 24 to 48 hours remains bearish, and any rebound at the present time is considered only a corrective move.

In trading, it is not always necessary to enter into a trade. Knowing when not to trade is an important factor that helps you protect your account and avoid risks. Here are the times you should avoid trading: 1.When there is no clear trend in the market A basic rule of trading: trade only when the market is in a clear trend. Trading in sideways market periods is usually difficult and error-prone because the price moves slowly and without direction. How do you know: When the market is moving within a narrow range, and there is no clear up or down trend — it is better to stay out of the market and wait for a clear signal before entering. 2. When you do not have a specific trading plan A trading plan is the key to controlling risk and achieving goals. If you enter a trade without clearly defining the SL, TP or entry point, this is reckless. How do you know: When you don't have a clear strategy, postpone trading. A specific plan will help you reduce risks and increase the success rate. 3. When there is important news about to be released Events such as an interest rate announcement, GDP, or NFP report... can make the market highly volatile and difficult to predict, and may even reverse the trend completely. Trading in this case is risky if you lack experience. How do you know: When there is important news coming, avoid trading until the market stabilizes again, because prices may form gaps and trades may be difficult to control. 4. When emotions control your trading decisions Trading based on emotions is the quickest way to lose. After a series of losses, you may feel an urge to "recover" losses, and after a series of wins, you may become overconfident—both are dangerous. 5. When you lack knowledge or analysis tools If you do not have a clear idea about analysis tools or lack the necessary knowledge, do not rush into trading. Take your time to learn more before participating in the market. 6. When you have weak capital or bad management Capital management is the crucial factor in trading. If you do not adhere to risk management principles (such as using 1–2% of your account on each trade) or your capital is insufficient, it is easy to lose your account. How do you know: When you do not have reserve capital or a capital protection plan, stop trading until you are fully prepared.

Ethereum (ETH) is trading in a narrow range as the market awaits the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on October 24, a report that could significantly impact interest rate expectations and decisions of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) as well as investor sentiment. Despite positive news about institutional money flowing into Ethereum and Citizens Bank's prediction that the price could cross the $10,000 mark within the next two years thanks to increased adoption and reduced supply, the short-term trend remains clearly sideways between buying and selling forces. On the chart, the price is moving between the support at $3,700 and the resistance at $4,050 without a clear breakout to either side, indicating a consolidation phase and a sideway move. Proposed strategy: Trading within the range: Buy near 3,700 and sell near 4,050. Waiting for a break of one of the levels to confirm the next trend. Currently, Ethereum remains moving calmly and steadily, and the market will not regain its activity until the CPI data is released and the Federal Reserve’s position is clarified.

After a short rebound, Bitcoin appears to be gradually losing momentum. Big money is still on the sidelines, while a risk-off sentiment prevails throughout the cryptocurrency market. When gold - the traditional safe haven - declines, it is natural that Bitcoin will not escape the spiral of selling pressure. On the chart, BTCUSDT remains trapped within a clear falling channel. Every bounce towards the 111,400 area looks like a “last gasp” before reversing again. If sellers continue to take control, the 104,000 level could be the next stop – and we may see a deeper decline if demand continues to be weak. The market is sending a clear signal: do not try to catch the falling knife, because the real decline may have just begun.

After the strongest decline in five years - the “drain” that shook the gold market - it seems that gold (XAUUSD) is starting to regain its breath again. Selling pressures have temporarily subsided, and the area around 4060 has become a strong support area that restores confidence to buyers. On the chart, the price reached a technical bottom and paused at a strong demand zone, with signs of a short-term consolidation pattern emerging. If the buying momentum continues, gold may be heading to test the downtrend line near 4200 – where the situation will be decided to see if buyers are able to change the trend or not. Although the global mood has become calmer after Trump's conciliatory statements, uncertainty remains. Therefore, a mild technical bounce higher seems a realistic possibility – just as gold used to do after every violent sell-off.

Bitcoin shows weakness around $110,000, while rebound strength fades despite positive news. On the 12-hour time frame, the price is showing a bearish arc indicating a potential deeper decline if it fails to break $116,000. The area around $105,000 is now the last line of defense for buyers. If it breaks, Bitcoin could quickly slide toward $100,000. The market is in a “calm before the storm” — either a strong bounce or a thunderous fall, it is only a matter of time.

Despite growing warnings about a speculative bubble, gold continues to quietly rise towards the $4,400 per ounce level, breaking all previous records. With the Federal Reserve likely to continue lowering interest rates, as well as the risk of a prolonged US government shutdown, smart capital is still turning to gold as a safe haven. On the H4 time frame, the chart shows that buyers still dominate the scene. Every time the price touches the trend line, the buying force reappears and pushes the price higher. The $4,270 level is currently the main defense line for the uptrend, and if support continues at this level, gold may retest the $4,430–4,480 resistance area. Overall, the uptrend is still the dominant tone in the market, and any correction at the moment looks like just a slight pullback before gold continues its journey towards new highs.
