Cardano and XRP breathe a little life into deflated Uptober

BITCOIN briefly retested the $60,000 level yesterday, dipping to a daily low of $59,000 before finding support and rebounding to trade just under $61,000 this morning.

It’s the second time this month Bitcoin has tested this key level, but the price remains range-bound for now.

While Bitcoin and Ethereum are relatively flat this morning, Uniswap has been a notable performer in the market, with its price up by more than 18% over the past seven days. This surge coincides with Uniswap's recent launch of its new chain, designed to improve trade speed and efficiency on the platform.

Other coins such as XRP and Cardano have also shown a bit of life in an otherwise quiet crypto market.

Despite the positive price action in a few markets, broader crypto markets remain cautious.

Investors are closely watching inflation data and the ongoing regulatory scrutiny in the US, which analysts say has added pressure to the market.

The big question now is whether these green shoots signal the beginning of a broader recovery or if the small rally will once again fizzle out.
