Smart Crypto Investing: Bitcoin, Altcoins & Trading Strategies podcast.
Hey, it’s Crypto Willy here, ready to drop the lowdown on all things smart crypto investing this last week of October 2025. If you’ve been eyeing the charts, you know it’s been another roller coaster for Bitcoin, altcoins, and all those traders searching for an edge.
Let’s lead off with **Bitcoin**, which spent most of the week hovering around $114,000 after a big rally saw it rip from $104,800 up to nearly $116,000. This move came just as speculation heated up ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, where Wall Street’s expecting a second rate cut this year. Traders are jittery—no one wants to be caught on the wrong side if Jerome Powell surprises the market. Seasoned analysts like Lacie Zhang from Bitget Wallet highlight that open interest in Bitcoin futures jumped from $25 billion to just under $30 billion, meaning there’s fresh leverage piling in. That’s a double-edged sword: we could see wild swings above $112K, but if we slip under $110K, liquidations could get nasty.
Meanwhile, institutional money hasn’t blinked. According to OpenAI’s ChatGPT market model, Bitcoin’s short-term trend looks bullish, thanks to ongoing ETF inflows and global risk sentiment shifting more positive after a period of U.S.-China trade optimism. AI forecasts are calling for a price between $128,000 and $136,000 by October 31, with a base target right at $132,000, as long as Bitcoin stays above $117,650. Ali Martinez, a sharp-eyed analyst on X, is tracking key support at $118,000 and sees resistance looming at $125,000 and $130,000. If ETF flows and sentiment keep up, the psychological $140,000 is within sight before year’s end.
But it’s not max bullish across the board—altcoins like **Ethereum, Solana**, and *Binance Coin* slid about 2% this week, tracking Bitcoin’s lead. DOGE and other meme coins also took a breather, as traders hit pause and assessed macro risks. VanEck’s research arm points out this is a classic mid-cycle reset: some leverage flushed out, and on-chain activity rising. For hands-on traders, key strategies remain: watch those resistance levels, manage your margin smartly, and don’t get caught over-leveraged—you know how crypto can punish the greedy.
On the volatility front, Bitcoin is at its calmest in years, with market swings hitting record lows, as reported by Bitcoin Magazine. Some market veterans like PlanB are out here saying we may “never see Bitcoin below $100K again”—so bullish sentiment is definitely back in fashion if you’re looking long-term.
Looking into the November forecast, crypto analysts expect Bitcoin to find an average trading value right around $123,000, peaking possibly at $127,500 if bulls stay in control. December could see a bit of cooling, with the range dipping to an average near $117,000.
