Crypto analyst Darkfost stated in a post that over the past decade, the amplitude of Bitcoin price fluctuations around the "Power Law" trendline has been gradually decreasing, with market cycle volatility trending toward convergence. The oscillator index peak has declined from +169 in 2018 to +102 in 2025, while its daily change standard deviation has fallen from 4.81 to 2.47, representing a drop of approximately 49%. Darkfost added that as of October 3, the model’s oscillator index stood at +34.5, with Bitcoin trading at approximately $84,700. Based on that day's model parameters, an oscillator index reaching +100 would correspond to a Bitcoin price of roughly $157,800, which is about 86% higher than the current price. He also noted that $157,800 is not a fixed target price, but rather a reference level calculated based on current regression parameters. If the Power Law trendline continues to rise in the future, this reference level will increase accordingly.
Crypto analyst Ali posted on the X platform stating that Nvidia (NVDA) shares reached an all-time high of $237.88 on October 2, rising nearly 14% since September 14.

With the AI sector regaining market focus, AI-related ETFs may see breakout rallies. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) aims to generate triple the daily performance of the semiconductor index and has recently displayed breakout tendencies. If the support around $150 holds, a follow-through target of $210 comes into view. The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM), which primarily invests in global memory chip manufacturers, is currently consolidating in an ascending triangle pattern. A decisive break above $64 could open further upside room toward an $80 target. Ali believes the subsequent performance of these two ETFs will likely confirm the ongoing extension of the AI cycle.
