Bitcoin’s dominance stayed just above 58%, while Ethereum’s market share fell below 13%. Cryptocurrency liquidations reached $325 million in the last 24 hours, with nearly equal amounts of longs and shorts evaporated, according to Coinglass. Interestingly, Bitcoin’s open interest dropped 1.31%. A drop in open interest coming alongside a price increase typically indicates short position traders closing their positions. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of Binance traders with open BTC positions were short as of this writing. **Top Gainers (24 Hours)** The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $4.20 trillion, following a modest increase of 0.70% in the last 24 hours. ## Stocks Back At Record Highs Stocks rebounded to record highs on Wednesday. The S&P 500 rallied 0.58% to close at 6,753.72. The tech-focused **Nasdaq Composite** rose 1.12% to end at 23,043.38. The **Dow Jones Industrial Average** ended another day in the red, dropping 1.20 points to end at 46,601.78. According to the Minutes of the Fed’s September meeting, participants noted that President **Donald Trump's** tariffs increased inflation this year and would likely add further pressure next year. The central bank estimates inflation returning to the 2% target only in 2027. Meanwhile, the odds of a 25 basis point rate cut during the upcoming meet dropped marginally to 94%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. ## BTC To Continue Rally? **Julio Moreno**, Head of Research at on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant, said Bitcoin’s profit-taking remained low despite hitting record highs at $126,000 "This suggests that Bitcoin may continue to rally, and that a top is still not on the horizon," Moreno added. Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst **Ted Pillows** highlighted the importance of the $4,250-$4,300 support zone for Ethereum. "If this level holds, Ethereum will start the reversal. Otherwise, expect a drop towards $4,000 in the coming weeks," Pillows projected. _Photo Courtesy: Travis Wolfe on Shutterstock.com_ - **Bitcoin Could 10x From Here, Says PayPal’s Ex-Boss—And This Pricing Model Agrees** ### Related Stocks - [Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHE.US.md) - [DOGE/USD (DOGEUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DOGEUSD.VAHK.md) - [BTC/HKD (BTCHKD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCHKD.VAHK.md) - [BTC/USD (BTCUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) - [ETH/HKD (ETHHKD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHHKD.VAHK.md) - [ETH/USD (ETHUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHUSD.VAHK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Eightco Reports $326M Total Holdings Including 277.2M Worldcoin, $90M OpenAI Stake](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281191320.md) - [Mark Zuckerberg texted Elon Musk to offer help with DOGE](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280887963.md) - [BTC miners are collectively turning to Bitcoin.](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281160892.md) - [Peter Schiff Sounds Alarm On Bitcoin-Backed Mortgages](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280834905.md) - [AVAX One Q4 revenue surges on Avalanche strategy, bitcoin mining, maintains 2026 revenue forecast](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281241243.md)
