On October 19, the cryptocurrency market staged a strong V-shaped rebound following a deleveraging flush triggered by US September CPI/PPI inflation data. Total market capitalization approached $2.8 trillion, recovering pre-release levels. Bitcoin reclaimed the $82,000 institutional cost floor, Ether broke above $2,400 amid rising Layer 2 staking demand and gas fees, and Ripple surpassed $1.30. Although high inflation dampened aggressive Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, the initial shock has passed. Safe-haven capital is returning to elastic mainstream digital assets, allowing bullish market sentiment to gradually recover.

TradingKey - Crypto Market Stages Strong Rebound! Bitcoin Reclaims $82,000, Ether Breaks Above $2,400.

On October 19, after enduring a deleveraging flush triggered by the shock of the US September CPI/PPI inflation data, the cryptocurrency market demonstrated significant technical V-shaped rebound momentum, with total market capitalization approaching $2.8 trillion, largely returning to levels seen on the eve of the economic data release.

Among them, Bitcoin (BTC) successfully returned to the $82,000 institutional cost floor zone, while Ether (ETH) also successfully broke through the $2,400 round-number mark, driven by a recovery in Layer 2 staking demand and Layer 1 gas fees, while Ripple (XRP) also returned above $1.30.
