Bitcoin Ends October Slightly Lower; Analysts Eye November Rebound

Bitcoin finished October in negative territory for the first time since 2018, pressured by a wave of liquidations and profit-taking. Market participants highlighted roughly US$19 billion in liquidation events during the month. Despite the pullback, historical seasonality and renewed ETF inflows are cited as reasons traders expect a rebound in November. Analysts say macros — dollar moves and ETF flows — will determine whether digital assets regain momentum in the near term.
