Bitcoin (BTC), the oldest and most valued cryptocurrency, fell below $70,000 after reaching a peak of $73,000.
The global crypto market cap now stands at $2.29 trillion, down over 5%. Additionally, a recent transfer of 500 BTC from Mt. Gox wallets has raised concerns, adding to selling pressure.
The approaching US presidential election and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East also weigh on Bitcoin's performance.
- Positive Note: Robinhood's rising crypto revenue highlights growing retail interest, which may help drive Bitcoin demand, supporting a potential rebound in price and market confidence.
These factors create a mixed outlook, with cautious sentiment offset by bullish retail interest.
Robinhood's Q3 Crypto Revenue Surge and Its Impact on Bitcoin Market
Robinhood’s Q3 revenue grew 36% year-over-year, reaching $637 million, driven by a remarkable 165% increase in cryptocurrency revenue, which hit $61 million.
This surge signals growing interest from everyday investors in digital assets. However, despite this growth, Robinhood’s shares dropped 12.4% after hours due to missing Wall Street's expectations, sparking investor concerns.

@RobinhoodApp reported a 165% growth in cryptocurrency-related revenue in its Q3 earnings, highlighting a strong performance driven by increased crypto activity.
The company attributed this surge to rising transaction volumes and renewed interest in digital assets.…
Looking forward, Robinhood is set to launch new products aimed at active traders, including Robinhood Legend, a desktop platform, as well as features like index options and futures trading.
CFO Jason Warnick noted the company's goal to achieve profitability in 2024 despite rising marketing expenses.
- Key Advantage: With $4.6 billion in cash, Robinhood is well-positioned for expansion, which may boost Bitcoin (BTC) demand as retail investor interest rises. However, the share price drop might impact market sentiment toward Bitcoin in the short term.

Mt. Gox, once handling 70% of Bitcoin transactions, collapsed in 2014. Creditors have awaited payments for nearly a decade, beginning in July 2024, with a recent one-year extension due to system issues.
- Market Insight: Despite Bitcoin dropping below $70,000, analysts indicate the price decline started before these transfers, suggesting market sentiment is influenced more by broader market volatility than by Mt. Gox-related movements.
Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Holds Critical Support Amid Bearish Signals
Bitcoin (BTC) has retreated from its recent peak of $73,800 and now trades around $69,010, testing the crucial Fibonacci support level of 61.8% at $68,700.
This support is significant for BTC's immediate outlook; a drop below could open the way toward the next support at $67,300.
Immediate resistance stands at $70,600, a level BTC needs to surpass to regain upward momentum. Further resistance can be seen at $71,800 and $73,800, where selling pressure may intensify.
Technical indicators reflect caution. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is near 40, suggesting weak buying interest, while BTC remains below its 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $69,700, adding to the bearish sentiment.
To reverse this outlook, BTC would need a strong close above $70,600 to overcome these technical hurdles.
In summary, Bitcoin faces a pivotal moment. Holding above $68,700 could support stability, but a decisive move above $70,600 is necessary to shift market sentiment positively.
