Ethereum changed hands at $2,332, while Solana hovered around $101. Among the week\u2019s worst performers were Bitway, Rain, Hedera, and Aave, although Pepe and MemeCore managed double-digit gains.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin price recovers after falling to a five-week low<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s recovery has brought the price back above $80,000 after Saturday\u2019s sell-off pushed it toward $79,100, its lowest level in approximately five weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The cryptocurrency began the week struggling to clear $83,000 before briefly climbing toward $85,000 on Wednesday. Buyers failed to maintain that advance, and prices gradually retreated below $83,000, then $81,000, as the weekend approached.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Selling intensified on October 24, when Bitcoin price slipped below $80,000 and triggered liquidations across leveraged cryptocurrency positions. CoinGlass data <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/liquidations\" target=\"_blank\">showed<\/a> approximately $546.88 million in liquidations over a 24-hour period, affecting more than 116,000 traders.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, Bitcoin price rebounded toward $80,900 before encountering fresh selling pressure. Its market capitalization stood near $1.61 trillion on Sunday, with daily trading volume around $19.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional fund activity offered another indication of the week\u2019s mixed trading conditions. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/why-is-bitcoin-price-down-today-etf-outflows\/\" target=\"_blank\">substantial net withdrawals<\/a> on October 22 and 23, losing approximately $635.6 million and $137.9 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawals followed three consecutive inflow sessions totaling $1.07 billion. Despite the late-week reversal, the funds retained approximately $301.2 million in net inflows across the five trading days, based on Farside Investors\u2019 reported figures.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crypto market watch: worst-performing altcoins this week<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The losses were particularly noticeable among mid-cap cryptocurrencies, where several tokens performed considerably worse than Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>Bitway (BTW) recorded one of the week\u2019s steepest declines, falling 29.31% to approximately $1.72. Rain (RAIN) lost 13.89% to trade near $0.0081, while Hedera (HBAR) dropped 13.47% to $0.0767.<\/p>\n<p>Decentralized finance tokens were among the casualties. Morpho (MORPHO) declined 13.06%, while Aave (AAVE) fell 11.65% to approximately $136.<\/p>\n<p>Avalanche (AVAX) shed 9.68% to $8.83, and NEAR Protocol dropped 9.42% to $4.45. Quant declined 8.09%, Bittensor lost 7.26%, and Polkadot traded near $1.03 after falling 7.21% during the week.<\/p>\n<p>The selling was not confined to one category of cryptocurrencies. Blockchain infrastructure projects, lending protocols, and several established altcoins all recorded losses, although the size of those declines differed substantially.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ethereum price and top 10 cryptocurrencies remain mixed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s price fell 3.41% over seven days, trading at approximately $2,332 on Sunday. The second-largest cryptocurrency remained below $2,400 following another week of selling.<\/p>\n<p>Solana slipped 2.81% to $100.93, while Cardano dropped 7.17% to $0.2042. Chainlink lost 5.27%, changing hands near $11.37.<\/p>\n<p>XRP showed more stability, trading around $1.30 with a marginal weekly loss of 0.09%. BNB gained 2.24% to $737.12, making it one of the better-performing major cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, Zcash recorded a 7.51% weekly increase, reaching approximately $1,209.<\/p>\n<p>The gain coincided with preparations for the <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/zcash-zebra-7-nu7-mainnet-upgrade-deadline\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zcash NU7 network upgrade<\/a>, expected around November 5. The Zcash Foundation released Zebra 7.0.0 on October 22, introducing support for planned consensus changes, including a reduction in target block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pepe and MemeCore defy the weekly altcoin sell-off<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Despite widespread losses, a small group of cryptocurrencies managed to finish the week with gains.<\/p>\n<p>Pepe (PEPE) climbed 14.15% over seven days, trading around $0.0000044. Its market capitalization stood near $1.86 billion, with daily trading volume exceeding $330 million.<\/p>\n<p>MemeCore (M) performed even better on the weekly chart, gaining 19.4% to approximately $0.92. However, the token suffered a daily decline approaching 20%, showing substantial volatility despite its positive seven-day performance.<\/p>\n<p>Monero (XMR) gained 3.82%, trading near $605. Its advance placed it alongside BNB and Zcash among the relatively few established cryptocurrencies posting weekly gains.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s next major price hurdle remains around $82,368, corresponding to its 20-day simple moving average in an October 25 technical assessment. A recovery above that level would bring the $84,725 area into focus, while a renewed decline below $80,000 could expose support around $78,000.<\/p>\n<p>Glassnode\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/bitcoin-etfs-reversed-course-in-a-day-who-is-buying-when-the-funds-sell\/\" target=\"_blank\">October market assessment<\/a> identified buying activity around $80,000\u201381,500 following the October 15 decline. The analytics firm\u2019s estimates placed the average cost basis of U.S. spot ETF holdings and corporate Bitcoin treasuries within that region.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
