Bitcoin to End October With a Decline for the First Time Since 2018

Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin is set to end October with a loss for the first time since 2018, breaking a seven-year winning streak in a month that has earned a reputation as favorable among cryptocurrency traders.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency is heading toward an almost 5% decline this month, as it has struggled in recent weeks amid broader market concerns and reduced investor appetite for risk.

October 2025 also witnessed the largest crypto liquidation in history, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports and threats of export controls on critical software.

Between October 10 and 11, Bitcoin fell to $104,782.88, shortly after reaching a new all-time high above $126,000 just a few days earlier.

Despite the October pullback, Bitcoin still shows a year-to-date gain of more than 16%.
