Crypto prices are rising today, and traders are asking if the Uptober rally has started. This crypto price prediction looks at Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, plus the data that may move them next.
The total crypto market is up 2.57% and sits near $2.94 trillion. Gains are modest for now. Traders are waiting for the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report due later on Friday.
Here is where the four coins trade right now.
Coin | Price | 24-Hour Move |
Bitcoin (BTC) | $86,368 | +3.18% |
Ethereum (ETH) | $2,750 | Not stated |
XRP | $1.53 | +3.70% |
Solana (SOL) | $121.85 | +3.60% |
Bitcoin rose 6.33% in September. That makes three straight monthly gains. It is still down about 1% for the year.
The index reads 72, which is in the Greed zone. Sentiment is still upbeat, but a little lower than yesterday.
Period | Fear & Greed Score |
Today | 72 |
Yesterday | 74 |
Last week | 71 |
Last month | 63 |

Traders lost $333.60 million in liquidations over the past day. Short sellers took the bigger hit.
Item | Amount |
Total liquidations | $333.60M |
Short positions | $244.96M |
Long positions | $88.64M |
Bitcoin | $132.02M |
Ethereum | $70.66M |
Solana | $15.56M |
In all, 76,387 traders were liquidated. The largest single order was $11.72 million on BTCUSDT on Binance.
Money flows were mixed, according to SoSoValue. Most funds saw money leave on Oct 1.
US Spot ETF | Net Flow (Oct 1) |
Bitcoin | -$102.67M |
Ethereum | -$535.37M |
XRP | +$4.07M |
Solana | -$5.91M |
Hopes for a good October are helping. Many traders believe the month tends to favor Bitcoin.
Fed rate hike odds also dropped. The chance of a 25 bps hike in October fell from almost 65% a week ago to 23.80% now. Weaker-than-expected PCE inflation data played a part.
FOMC Vice President John Williams said there was "no need for urgency." Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson also hinted that officials may want more time.
Markets now expect rates to stay at 3.75% to 4.00%. The 10-year Treasury yield eased from highs near 5.3%. The dollar index fell to 101.95. Lower yields and a weaker dollar often help Bitcoin.
Still, the jobs report could change the mood fast. Strong payrolls would give the Fed more room to hike, which is usually bad for crypto.
The numbers lean positive, but not by a lot. Bitcoin has gained in 10 of the past 15 Octobers.
The average gain in those months was 27.4%. The average loss in the other months was 13%.
October 2025 went the other way. Bitcoin hit a record high early in the month, then fell on U.S. tariff threats and worry over artificial intelligence.
As per Ali, Chart patterns point to several long-term levels. Each one needs a breakout first, and none is guaranteed.
Coin | Pattern | Level to Beat | Potential Target |
Bitcoin | Rising channel (2 years) | $125,000 | $190,000 |
Ethereum | Channel (5+ years) | $5,000 | $8,800 |
XRP | Ascending triangle (monthly) | $3.66 | $31.87 |
Solana | Cup and handle (monthly) | $295 | $2,744 |
For Bitcoin, the first test is its previous high near $125,000. A decisive break could bring the channel's upper edge near $190,000 into view.
Ethereum needs to clear $5,000. XRP needs a monthly close above $3.66. Solana needs a monthly close above its $295 neckline.
Social mood has soured fast. Santiment data shows ETH at 0.89 bullish comments per bearish comment. That is its lowest since June 7.
XRP sits at just 0.67, its lowest since August 17. A reading below 1.0 means negative talk is the majority.
Heavy pessimism can sometimes set up a contrarian entry. When many people expect lower prices, much of the panic selling may already be done.
That does not mean ETH or XRP will bounce right away. It only shows the crowd mood is very different from past peaks.
The jobs report is the next big event. A hot number could lift Fed hike fears again and push yields up.
Traders should also watch ETF flows and the Fear and Greed score. A drop back toward fear could slow the rally.
Overall, this price prediction stays open-ended. Bulls have the calendar and softer Fed odds. Bears have mixed ETF flows and weak altcoin sentiment.
