🌍 Global Market Overview
The global crypto market extended its bullish streak on 4 October 2025 as major assets continued their steady climb. Bitcoin crossed $84K once again, fueled by strong institutional buying, while Ethereum edged closer to the $5,000 resistance level. Solana’s network performance and rising DeFi volume strengthened its position as one of the top-performing Layer-1 blockchains.
Global investor sentiment remains positive following stronger macroeconomic data from the US and Europe. Tech stocks and crypto have been moving in sync, signaling a broader risk-on rally across markets. In Asia, crypto adoption and trading activity continue to surge in India, Japan, and South Korea.
💰 Bitcoin (BTC) — Holding $84,000 Support
Bitcoin maintained its dominance above $84K, signaling a strong continuation of the ongoing bull cycle. ETF inflows remained stable, with BlackRock and Fidelity Bitcoin ETFs collectively managing over $95 billion in assets. On-chain metrics indicated accumulation among long-term holders, while exchange balances dropped to their lowest level since 2020.
Analysts see $85,500 as the next key resistance and $82,000 as the critical short-term support zone. If Bitcoin closes above $84.5K for three consecutive days, a breakout toward $87K is likely.
⚡ Ethereum (ETH) — The Merge Upgrades Pay Off
Ethereum traded near $4,970, continuing its slow grind toward the much-awaited $5,000 mark. Following recent Layer-2 upgrades and zk-rollup integrations, Ethereum’s daily transactions exceeded 2.3 million. Gas fees remained around $3.80 per transaction, significantly lower than the previous year’s average. The total value locked (TVL) in Ethereum-based DeFi platforms rose to $78 billion.

Solana led the day’s gains, rising over 2.3% to hit $278. SOL’s impressive growth has been supported by record-breaking daily transactions (150M+) and NFT sales that topped $11 million in 24 hours. New decentralized social media projects building on Solana have attracted over 300,000 active users this week alone.
