Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Solana & Crypto – European Wrap 14 October

Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC edges below $112,000 as US-China trade war escalates ahead of Powell’s speech

Bitcoin (BTC) price trades below $112,000 at the time of writing on Tuesday as it struggles around a key resistance zone. Weakness in BTC comes amid the rising US-China trade conflict, which further supports a bearish view and triggers a risk-off sentiment in the market. Moreover, the spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded an outflow of over $320 million on Monday, signaling cautious sentiment among institutional investors. Market participants now turn their focus to Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech, which could spark fresh volatility across risk assets, such as Bitcoin.
