Market Sentiment for October 28, 2026

Crypto recovers as Fed decision looms

The crypto market capitalisation rebounded by 1.5% to $2.71T, buoyed by positive momentum in traditional markets. However, the fact that it remains below the 50-day moving average suggests market caution. Among the most liquid coins, the ratio of gainers to losers over the past 24 hours stands at 12:1. The top gainers were Bitcoin Cash and Near Protocol (both up 6.3%), as well as Hyperliquid (up 4.8%). Dash (−1%), Hedera (−0.3%) and Internet Computer (−0.1%) are down.

The main short-term risk is the Fed’s rhetoric. Concerns about inflation and a willingness to raise interest rates could intensify sell-offs across markets, including cryptocurrencies. A wait-and-see attitude could bring buyers back, creating the conditions for a new rally following a prolonged slide. In our view, despite high oil prices and inflation seeping into core commodities, the Fed will be more cautious in its wording than the market expected a month ago, taking into account the rapid deterioration in equity market sentiment and the fragility of the debt markets.

🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📉 Ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision, negative sentiment is prevailing in pre-market trading on the US stock market.

In the Financials sector, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is down 1.18%, while JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up 0.20%.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 0.76%, while Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is up 1.64%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Tesla (TSLA) is up 0.80%, while McDonald's (MCD) is down 0.71%.

The predominance of declines among major issuers, alongside localised support for certain technology names, reflects risk aversion within the US market.

In this environment, short-term capital flows are shifting toward more defensive dollar-denominated assets and Treasuries, which is providing a moderately supportive backdrop for the dollar.

Market Sentiment for October 29, 2026

Bitcoin has failed to break through resistance, whereas BNB is gaining ground

The crypto market has returned to the region of local lows, with a market capitalisation of $2.67T. Cryptocurrencies failed to mount a rally as stock indices resumed their downward trend, with markets pricing in a slightly higher probability of interest rate rises over the coming year and growing concerns about corporate earnings following a 10% slump in Alphabet shares. The decline in altcoins over the past day was widespread. BNB (+0.6%), Tron (+0.02%) and Litecoin (−0.7%) outperformed the market, while the three worst-performing coins were Basic Attention Token (−9.5%), Near Protocol (−8.3%) and Dash (−7.4%).

On Wednesday, Bitcoin encountered resistance at its 50-day moving average, reversing lower from the $81.7K region and retreating to $79.9K at the time of writing. This marks yet another test of support within the very narrow trading range in which BTC has found itself. Given the close correlation between cryptocurrencies and the Nasdaq-100, the greatest risk today is a decline in the price of the leading cryptocurrency toward $75K, as the bears have demonstrated their strength in curbing the uptrend.
