Bitcoin closed the trading day on October 13, 2025, at $115,271.08, marking a modest gain of 0.09% from the previous day’s close of $115,169.76. This uptick came after a turbulent week that saw the cryptocurrency drop sharply to a low of $104,582.41 on October 10 before rebounding over the next three sessions.
The day’s open stood at $115,161.68, with prices ranging between a high of $116,020.49 and a low of $113,821.19. Trading volume registered at $71,582,026,739, down from the elevated levels of $93,710,414,091 on October 12 but still above the monthly average of around $65 billion seen in September. At the close, Bitcoin’s market capitalization sat at $2,297,709,116,995, reflecting a slight increase from the prior day’s $2,295,493,500,275.
This performance fits into a pattern of correction following an early October surge. From September 30’s close of $114,056.08, Bitcoin climbed steadily to a weekly peak close of $124,752.53 on October 6, driven by consistent daily gains averaging 1.5% over those six days.
That momentum reversed abruptly on October 7 with a 2.7% decline to $121,451.38, and the slide accelerated on October 10, where the price fell 7% amid the highest volume spike of the month at $153,125,018,868, suggesting heavy selling pressure from short-term holders.
The subsequent recovery on October 11, 12, and 13 totaled about 4%, with each day’s close building incrementally: $110,807.88, $115,169.76, and now $115,271.08. This three-day rebound has narrowed the weekly loss from a potential 8% drop to just 1.8% from October 6’s high, indicating some stabilization as buyers stepped in at levels around $110,000.
Volume trends points to this shift. The October 10 plunge coincided with triple the average daily volume from September, pointing to liquidation events or profit-taking after the rally. By October 13, volume had moderated to 71 billion, comparable to the $71,328,680,132 seen on October 1, which suggests reduced panic and a return to more balanced participation. Compared to September’s more contained fluctuations, where the largest single-day drop was 4.9% on September 25 to $109,049.29, October’s movements have been sharper, with the range from October 6 high to October 10 low spanning over 17%.
For October 14, the price could continue its short-term upward trajectory if the current support around $113,800 holds, potentially testing resistance near $116,000 based on the October 13 high. Historical patterns from similar post-drop recoveries, like the 3.5% gain over three days after September 22’s 2.4% decline, support a scenario where Bitcoin edges toward $116,500 by close, assuming volume stays above 70 billion to confirm buyer interest.
On the downside, a failure to hold above $114,000 might revisit October 11’s low of $109,760.56, especially if broader market sentiment turns cautious amid ongoing global economic data releases. Traders should monitor early Asian session flows for initial direction, as they often set the tone for daily ranges in this 2-3% volatility environment.
Tips for navigating October 14:
Watch the $113,800 low from October 13 as a key support level; a break below could signal further downside to $112,000.
Target $116,000 as near-term resistance, drawn from recent highs, exceeding it might open a path back to $118,000.
Keep an eye on volume: Sustained trades over $70 billion would reinforce the recovery, while a drop below $60 billion could indicate fading momentum.
Factor in external cues like U.S. inflation figures due later in the week, which have historically influenced Bitcoin by 1-2% on release days in similar setups.
