Cryptocurrencies entered the new week with gains after a series of sharp declines last week. Bitcoin rose about 2% to trade just below $112,000. Ethereum and XRP each advanced 2.5%, with Ethereum moving to $4,100 and XRP to $2.85.
BNB and Solana added 3.5% each, with BNB reclaiming the $1,000 level while Solana traded near $210, still down more than 7% over the week.

Market conditions
The overall crypto market capitalization increased 2.25% in the past 24 hours, reaching $3.86 trillion. Sentiment indicators remain mixed though. The Fear and Greed Index stands at 50, signaling neutral sentiment, while CoinMarketCap’s version of the index sits at 39, showing that a degree of caution persists.
Trading activity remains active, and analysts are monitoring whether the recent rebound develops into a more sustained recovery or remains contained after last week’s volatility.
Broader markets
Traditional markets also opened the week with gains. Futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 each rose between 0.2% and 0.4% after all three major indexes posted losses last week.
The broader market is focused on the risk of a potential US government shutdown, with a Wednesday deadline approaching. A shutdown could delay the release of important economic data, including the September jobs report. Jobless claims came in lower than expected last week, and GDP growth was revised upward, adding to discussion over the pace of possible future Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Market outlook
In crypto, the rebound comes after a week in which liquidation-driven selling pressure erased billions of dollars in leveraged long positions, contributing to sharp price swings. Despite the volatility, Bitcoin remains above $110,000 and Ethereum above $4,000, keeping both well above levels seen earlier this summer.
The broader market is also preparing for upcoming regulatory decisions, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission expected to rule on multiple crypto ETF applications throughout October. These decisions could influence institutional participation and provide further signals for market direction heading into the final quarter of the year.
