Bitcoin might rise in October since the month has been bullish historically.
The Fed’s rate cuts might also benefit the Bitcoin price trajectory.
Microstrategy and Metaplanet purchasing BTC are also bullish for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, may rally in October despite a bearish start to the month. Three signs point to a potential upswing. As of this writing, BTC is trading at $62,311.60, down 0.6% in the past 24 hours but up 1% over the last seven days.

October has historically been a bullish month for Bitcoin. According to Coinglass data , Bitcoin gained 28.52% in October 2021 and 39.93% in October 2022. So far in October 2024, the cryptocurrency has declined 1.65%, but it has surged 123% in the past year, according to Coingecko data .

If Bitcoin follows this general “Uptober” trend, there is a strong possibility of a bullish turn and a push towards the $69,000 resistance level. However, this is not a guarantee, as BTC fell 3.83% and 12.95% in October 2018 and 2014, respectively.

Another reason for a possible surge could be the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cuts to 50 bps. Lower interest rates often lead investors to seek higher-risk assets, including equities and Bitcoin.

Furthermore, institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to grow with the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and companies like Microstrategy and Metaplanet actively accumulating BTC.

As the U.S. midterm elections approach, Wall Street is generally betting on a "divided Congress" scenario, with the Democratic Party taking back the House of Representatives and the Republican Party retaining the Senate. This is expected to limit radical policies and reduce uncertainty. Historical data shows that since 1950, when a divided Congress occurred under a Republican president, the average annual gain of U.S. stocks was 13.7%, higher than the 8.3% and 4.9% gains when either the Republican or Democratic Party controlled Congress alone. If the election results deviate from expectations, the market may still experience significant volatility.

In the era of AI inference, demand for "optical interconnects" is booming! Lumentum (LITE.US), "standing in the light," is ahead of NPO, expanding OCS to embrace the moment of profit surge

From an underlying engineering perspective, the growing demand for optical interconnection arises from more frequent and stricter data exchanges between computing nodes: expert parallelism in Mixture of Experts (MoE) models requires distributing and aggregating data across GPUs; Prefill–Decode Disaggregation necessitates the transfer of KV Cache; complex agent workflows increase the concurrency of model invocation, tool execution, and data access.

Driven by the rebound in energy product prices, the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for August accelerated further, continuing a series of elevated readings since renewed hostilities between the U.S. and Iran.
