On the evening of October 20, the cryptocurrency market rebounded collectively after several days of deep declines. According to data from OKX, over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin (BTC) surged by over 2%, reaching $110,700.
Altcoins followed suit. Ethereum (ETH) rose by more than 2%, hitting $4,029; BNB increased by over 1%, reaching $1,110; XRP gained 3.2%; and Solana (SOL) climbed by over 1%, reaching $191.
As reported by CoinDesk, following a significant sell-off that wiped out over $500 billion in market capitalization, Bitcoin’s price has seen a slight recovery but remains down approximately 4% in October.

The recovery was bolstered by positive global market sentiment, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s indication of potential easing in import tariffs, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) suggestion of slowing monetary tightening by year-end.
Cryptocurrency expert Linh Tran (XS.com) noted that Bitcoin is in a reaccumulation phase after a short-term correction, as institutional investor demand remains strong and the market gradually stabilizes.
On-chain data reveals that over the past 30 days, the amount of Bitcoin held by institutions increased by 8.4%, reaching 4.04 million Bitcoin.
However, experts caution that the recovery may not be sustainable, as a strong U.S. dollar, high U.S. bond yields, and geopolitical risks remain significant obstacles.
