## Market Trends: BTC narrowly held at $60,000, market shifted from Sui to hype Aptos
### Market Hotspots
-The high-performance Layer1 public chain Sui ecosystem token ended its strong upward trend for a month last night and began to adjust downwards last night. Funds have turned to hype up the <a href="/uk/price/aptos-apt" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Aptos</a> sector, which is also a Move series. The circulating market value of this sector has increased by 6.69%, with Aptos (APT), Cellana Finance (CELL), and Thala (THL) experiencing 24-hour gains of 3.63%, 11.03%, and 18.74%, respectively.

-The privacy sector saw a slight increase, with leading players <a href="/uk/price/monero-xmr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Monero</a> (XMR), Aleo (ALEO), and <a href="/uk/price/dash-dash" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Dash</a> (DASH) experiencing 24-hour gains of 4.6%, 6.9%, and 1.0%, respectively.

-Thanks to the launch of a dedicated investment fund by Grayscale, Aave (AAVE) has once again turned red and risen, with a 24-hour increase of 1.1%. Aave is the leading protocol in the DeFi lending arena. Since a new proposal in July this year considering activation fee conversion and repurchasing tokens from the public market, tokens have been highly sought after and the popularity has continued to this day.

### Mainstream Coins
-After 4 consecutive days of decline, BTC hit bottom and slightly rose yesterday, with significant support from the $60,000 integer level and 60 day moving average. Positive sentiment is gradually accumulating;

-ETH has been falling for 6 consecutive days, and the issuance of Eigenlayer coins and ETH spot ETFs have not effectively promoted the improvement of ETH prices. ETH/BTC has once again approached its previous low, showing a preference for BTC funds in the market under a cold sentiment;

-Bitcoin fell below $60,000 last night, and Altcoins followed suit, with Aptos, Base, and Ton chains rebounding first.

## Macroeconomics: The Fed is not in a hurry to significantly cut interest rates, focus on tonight's employment report
Federal Reserve official Goolsby said yesterday that the magnitude of interest rate cuts is not as important as a significant reduction to neutral rates in the next 12 months. Powell also holds a similar view, emphasizing cautious interest rate cuts, but the upcoming employment report will test his patience.

Specifically in the capital market, tensions and policy swings in the Middle East have intensified investor concerns. Yesterday, the three major US stock indices fell slightly, with the VIX volatility index breaking 20. Correspondingly, the US dollar index rose to a new high for three consecutive days, and gold and oil prices both rose.

Tonight's non-farm payroll data will be released, and the market generally expects a month on month increase of 150,000 people, with the unemployment rate stabilizing at around 4.2%.

Overall, market expectations are more aggressive than those of the Federal Reserve, believing that this will prompt the Fed to further adopt loose policies.

### Conclusion
Amid the tense situation in the Middle East and the uncertainty of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut policy, investors' concerns have not eased yet, and safe haven assets such as gold are being sought after. The <a href="/uk/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> has undergone a certain degree of adjustment, with BTC slightly rising yesterday after four consecutive days of decline, and market sentiment beginning to brew a positive trend.

Despite Bitcoin's recent poor performance, setting a record for the worst October in nearly a decade, according to history, most of the October rally occurred after the 19th. Overall, the crypto market still faces short-term adjustments, but some hot sectors still have a certain wealth generating effect.
