The crypto market is experiencing another correction, with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies suffering slight losses. On the evening of October 16, 2025, Bitcoin fell by around two percent, while other coins recorded losses of between three and five percent. This development is also reflected in the stock market, where the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 each fell by around 0.7 percent at the start of trading.
A direct trigger for this correction cannot be identified, but concerns about an AI bubble bursting are growing. The rapid development of artificial intelligence has led to significant investments in recent years, but now investors fear that expectations may be excessive. At the same time, the renewed trade war between China and the USA is causing additional uncertainty. Already on October 10th, Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs triggered the biggest flash crash in the history of cryptocurrencies.
The macroeconomic environment also contributes to the tense mood. In the USA, yields on ten-year government bonds are rising again above 4.8 percent, which is putting additional pressure on risky asset classes such as tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. In times of financial uncertainty, investors are increasingly looking for safe havens, which is reflected in the rising price of gold. Gold recently hit a new all-time high of $4200.
The current Fear & Greed Index stands at 32 points, indicating prevailing fear among investors. The Altcoin Season Index is at 29 points, meaning an altseason is a long way off. The total market capitalization of the crypto market is currently $3.7 trillion and has lost about three percent of its value. These developments raise the question of whether the traditionally strong month of October, often referred to as ‘Uptober’, will fail this year.
