According to Gate Research, Bitcoin rebounded to around $106,000 this week after briefly dipping below $100,000, driven by easing concerns over the U.S. government shutdown and improving risk appetite. While a preliminary MACD bullish crossover has formed, both trading volume and capital inflows remain weak, indicating the uptrend is not yet established. Ethereum continues to fluctuate between $3,400 and $3,650 with limited rebound momentum. Overall, market sentiment remains cautious, and the recent rebound appears to be a technical correction rather than the start of a new bullish phase.

BTC edged up 0.36% to 103,261 USDT, while ETH rose 0.87% to 3,448 USDT, with technical indicators showing signs of weakening downside momentum. Among trending tokens, Lisk (+52.65%) led the market on strong inflows driven by its EMpower Fund and emerging market expansion; Allora (+10.54%) gained traction as its mainnet launch and multi-chain deployment reignited interest in the AI + Web3 narrative; and Canton Network (+11.81%) stood out in the enterprise blockchain sector with its new “Cantonics” economic model and developer incentive program. Meanwhile, Gate Connect launched the first-ever Apple Pay crypto-off-ramp feature, advancing Web3 payment adoption.

This report highlights that as of October 2025, the global oracle sector’s Total Value Secured (TVS) has surpassed $102.1 billion, with a total market capitalization of $14.1 billion. The market remains dominated by Chainlink, while competition is shifting from technical scalability toward economic model sustainability and cross-chain capability.
