Bitcoin is approaching a second consecutive October loss after falling 3.95% in October 2025. The Nasdaq closed Friday down 2.9%, sitting 7.8% below its October 6 record closing high. Gold fell below $3,900 an ounce while Brent crude settled above $117 a barrel. Weak U.S. spot demand has weighed on Bitcoin, although some researchers maintain their bullish views. According to Reuters, Bitcoin touched $77,646 on Oct.
