Geopolitical Détente and Fed Rate Cut Hopes Propel Bitcoin to $115,400

Edited by: Yuliya Shumai

Global financial capital flows have undergone a significant realignment, culminating in a remarkable surge for Bitcoin (BTC). On October 27, 2025, the cryptocurrency soared to $115,400, marking an impressive 2.72% increase. This ascent reflects a broader shift in risk appetite across international markets. The impetus behind this movement is not solely technical momentum but is deeply rooted in fundamental shifts concerning global economic policy and international relations.

A pivotal catalyst for this market optimism was the establishment of a framework agreement between the economic agencies of the United States and China. This accord is specifically designed to halt the escalation of trade risks, which include mutual tariffs and restrictions on the export of rare earth metals. This reported de-escalation, which is slated for review in South Korea, immediately alleviated systemic tension that had long suppressed the growth of risk assets.

Negotiators have already reached a preliminary consensus, paving the way for President Donald Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping to meet in South Korea on Thursday to finalize the deal. This favorable geopolitical backdrop spurred a general rally across the digital asset sector, often referred to as 'digital gold' by enthusiasts.

The positive momentum was not limited to BTC. Ethereum (ETH) climbed to $4,167.08, posting a robust 4.73% gain, while Binance Coin (BNB) reached $1,153.60, up 2.77%. However, not all assets participated equally; XRP saw a minor dip of 0.76%, settling at $2.62. Concurrent with these diplomatic successes, investors are keenly focused on the actions of the Federal Reserve (Fed).

The market widely anticipates that the Fed will announce a 25 basis point reduction in the key interest rate during its October 29 meeting, providing a powerful macroeconomic tailwind for assets sensitive to borrowing costs. This expectation of monetary easing is reinforced by recent inflation data. The September Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a year-over-year increase of 3.0%, falling just below the consensus forecast of 3.1%. Historically, a softening of monetary policy tends to weaken the national currency and encourages the flow of capital into riskier instruments.

The market is also bracing for a series of major corporate events, including earnings reports from US tech giants: Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta. Within the digital asset space, institutional interest continues to mount, particularly in companies such as Metaplanet, BitMine, and Galaxy Digital. Analysts observe that market sentiment has pivoted away from a pronounced bias toward defensive instruments and moved toward a more neutral stance, signaling reduced caution among participants. Nevertheless, for Bitcoin to sustain its trajectory toward the $120,000 threshold, it must decisively consolidate above the $116,000 level by the close of the month.

The current situation represents a rare synchronization where external factors—specifically international relations and macroeconomic policy—have aligned perfectly, opening up significant growth potential for assets that had previously been constrained by systemic uncertainty and geopolitical friction.
