Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Darkfost stated on X that Bitcoin spot trading volume has seen a moderate rebound since hitting a low in July, but the overall recovery remains limited. Among major exchanges, Binance's spot trading volume rose to over $50 billion in September, up from $42 billion in July; Bybit's spot trading volume increased from $14 billion in July to $19 billion; Kraken rose from $4 billion to $8 billion.Darkfost noted that when Bitcoin hit its phase low in July, spot trading volume also fell to its lowest level since the last bear market, reflecting the weakest market interest in BTC in nearly 3 years. Since then, spot trading volume has picked up somewhat, but no significant recovery has yet emerged. Typically, moderate growth in spot trading volume accompanies a new round of upward momentum for Bitcoin, but if BTC wants to challenge new highs, the market still needs further increases in spot trading volume, especially new demand.

The company stated that the vulnerability had existed since October 2023, and any user with a free Blink account could potentially exploit it to gain customer-service-level privileges, take over customer accounts, and raise withdrawal limits.

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.

Odaily News: Analyst Ali posted on X platform that Bitcoin recently faced resistance in its attempt to reach $87,000, during which whales took profits and sold over 30,000 BTC. Meanwhile, $87,000 also marks the upper boundary of a price channel that has been suppressing BTC for over the past two weeks.Ali stated that in the short term, attention should be paid to the lower boundary of the channel at approximately $82,500. If BTC falls back to that level and whales begin accumulating again, it would serve as a confirmation signal for considering buying the dip, with the next rebound target set at $87,000.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that due to limited liquidity inflows into the crypto market, the stablecoin market cap remains sluggish in its recovery. Since May this year, the stablecoin market cap has contracted by $14 billion, signaling notable capital outflows from the market. Although conditions have shown slight improvement since September, with the stablecoin market cap rising by roughly $4 billion and reclaiming around $270 billion, and signs of a trend reversal appearing to materialize, the overall rebound remains relatively weak. Further driving Bitcoin to new all-time highs will require substantially greater liquidity support from the market.
