According to a report by Crypto Briefing, Grayscale's research indicates that the correlation between crypto assets and Bitcoin is decreasing, with Bitcoin currently explaining only about 50% of the return volatility across various crypto sectors.The report breaks down the annualized volatility and the impact of Bitcoin-related factors by sector: the annualized volatility of the currency sector is 49%, with 43% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the smart contract platform sector is 58%, with 38% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the finance sector is 59%, with 30% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the utilities and services sector is 67%, with 30% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the consumer and culture sector is 76%, with 46% attributed to Bitcoin; the artificial intelligence sector has the highest annualized volatility at 85%, with only 35% attributed to Bitcoin.The research points out that Bitcoin's own annualized volatility has recently been around 43%, while the volatility of all sectors tracked by Grayscale is higher than that of Bitcoin. The report suggests that lower correlation does not imply lower risk, but the fact that Bitcoin explains only half of the return volatility means that the other half is driven by factors specific to each sector, providing investors with a reference for assessing which sectors can offer true diversification.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin's market performance before the 2026 U.S. midterm elections has broken the trend observed in the previous three elections. As of November 3, Bitcoin was priced at approximately $76,990, about 5.2% higher than the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of $73,169, indicating that its long-term trend remains above the average.In contrast, during the U.S. midterm elections in 2014, 2018, and 2022, Bitcoin's price was approximately 35%, 9%, and 22% below the 200-day average, respectively, all during bear market phases. The report noted that although Bitcoin broke through $126,000 in October 2025, the current bear market has seen relatively shallow declines, mainly concentrated in January and February of this year.Martin Lee, head of research at DWF Labs, stated that historical data shows Bitcoin typically exhibits volatility or slight weakness in the initial months following midterm elections, but has achieved gains in the subsequent 12 months. However, short-term trends may still be influenced by election results, ETF fund flows, U.S. employment data, and geopolitical risks.Additionally, Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility index BVIV has broken through a descending triangle pattern, indicating an increase in market expectations for short-term volatility.

According to Bitfinex analysis, Strategy shareholders voted on October 28 to approve the proposal for daily dividends on STRC preferred shares, with preliminary results showing that 99.3% of votes supported the proposal. STRC is expected to change from bi-monthly dividends to daily dividends starting November 1, with the first cash dividend to be credited on November 2; the other three preferred shares under Strategy, STRF, STRK, and STRD, are expected to follow suit in January 2027.This move by Strategy aims to reduce price volatility caused by ex-dividend dates. The company's CEO Phong Le stated that previously, when STRC paid monthly dividends, the average price dropped about 49 basis points around the ex-dividend date, which decreased to about 36 basis points after switching to bi-monthly dividends. The company expects that daily dividends will further disperse selling pressure and enhance price stability.This model is not unique to Strategy. Bitcoin treasury company Strive switched its SATA preferred shares to daily dividends in June this year and launched a subordinate preferred share SATS with a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%. In October, Strive issued 7 million shares of SATS at $90 per share, raising approximately $630 million, and used about $511 million of that to purchase 6,182 BTC.

The cryptocurrency KOL Seven research stated that currently, the majority of the major funds and main margin accounts of market makers and quantitative institutions in the cryptocurrency market are on Binance. Many institutions are engaged in cross-exchange arbitrage or hedging, and the suspension of withdrawals by Binance could lead to a sudden halt in their capital chain.Seven research mentioned that if the market continues to fluctuate violently, relevant institutions will be unable to withdraw funds from Binance to supplement margins elsewhere. To prevent liquidation, they will be forced to close positions on other exchanges and on-chain, forcibly pulling cash back. They also indicated that this is why the stolen assets were Ethereum-based, resulting in Solana and a bunch of altcoins dropping on the same day.

Glassnode's latest report indicates that Bitcoin has fallen back below the range of $84,000 to $85,000, a range that has blocked price increases four times this year. The inflow of funds into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has significantly cooled, with a net inflow of only about $67 million in the past two weeks; the major buy orders on Binance's spot order book have also shifted down to the range of $78,000 to $79,000, with a scale of about $42 million.Meanwhile, Bitcoin's one-month realized volatility has dropped to about 25%, returning to the levels seen in the summer of 2023; since August, the realized losses triggered by each round of decline have continued to narrow, indicating that selling pressure has eased.Glassnode believes that Bitcoin is currently in a range-bound state with weak demand and limited selling pressure, as the market is focusing on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. If the daily close re-establishes above $85,000, it may serve as an initial signal for further rebounds; if it falls below the average cost of active investors around $77,900, attention should be paid to the cost support for short-term holders near $75,800.
