Bitcoin News Today: Crypto Rebounds on Trade Truce, but Analysts Warn of Volatility Ahead
Bitcoin rebounded to $115,236.91 on October 13, 2025, as U.S. President Donald Trump signaled a de-escalation in trade tensions with China, sparking a rally across major cryptocurrencies. EthereumETH-- (ETH) surged 8.9% to $4,142.30, XRPXRP-- climbed 8.86% to $2.57, and DogecoinDOGE-- (DOGE) rose 11.31% to $0.2093 [3]. The recovery followed a sharp sell-off earlier in the week triggered by Trump's initial announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese goods, which led to over $19 billion in liquidations and a 12% drop in Bitcoin's price [2].
The shift in sentiment came as Trump softened his stance, stating on Truth Social that the U.S. and China could resolve their disputes, with both sides expressing openness to dialogue. Coinglass data revealed that the market's largest liquidation event-$19 billion in leveraged positions-occurred within 24 hours of the tariff announcement, erasing 1.6 million traders' positions [7]. However, weekend easing of tensions and institutional buying activity fueled a rebound. Marathon Digital Holdings, for instance, purchased $45.9 million worth of BitcoinBTC-- via FalconX, adding to a trend of crypto treasury companies capitalizing on lower prices [3].
Market analysts attributed the recovery to reduced geopolitical risk and macroeconomic factors. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink emphasized crypto's potential role as a store of value, akin to gold, while retail sentiment on platforms like Stocktwits turned bullish [1]. The global crypto market cap surged to $3.89 trillion, with altcoins like BNBBNB-- and SolanaSOL-- (SOL) gaining 14% and 7%, respectively [4].
Despite the rally, technical indicators and analyst commentary highlighted lingering volatility. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez warned that Bitcoin's TD Sequential indicator had flashed a sell signal, historically preceding significant corrections . Similarly, Il Capo of Crypto predicted a 20%-40% drop for altcoins before a potential bottom . Institutional investors, however, remained optimistic, with some viewing the pullback as a strategic entry point.
The U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy and potential rate cuts in 2026 were also cited as factors that could bolster Bitcoin's long-term trajectory. Edul Patel of Mudrex noted that a dovish stance from Fed Chair Jerome Powell could further strengthen the rally [4]. Meanwhile, on-chain data suggested that Bitcoin's key resistance levels were around $120,000, with support at $113,500 [4].
The market's resilience was underscored by spot Bitcoin ETF inflows of $6 billion for October, despite outflows of $4.5 million on October 10 [3]. However, the rapid price swings highlighted the sector's susceptibility to macroeconomic shocks. As of October 13, Bitcoin remained 2.84% above its $114,692.50 24-hour low, with analysts divided on whether the current rally would solidify or give way to further corrections [4].
