Bitcoin’s long-awaited October 2025 rally disappointed investors, with BTC posting a negative monthly return despite an average October gain of 18.1% between 2020 and 2025. As of October 25, Bitcoin was down 4.2% month to date following a 3.8% decline in October 2025, trading at $81,296.02 after a 1.9% rise over 24 hours but down 28% over the past year. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $26.10 million in outflows, while the Bull Score Index fell from 90 to 60, indicating weaker market conditions for Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve’s October 28 decision, upcoming U.S. economic data and the November 3 midterm elections are the main potential catalysts. Meanwhile, 58,857 traders were liquidated over 24 hours for a total of $174.62 million, although the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained neutral at 51.
