Bitcoin (BTC) starts the last week of October in classic style as 3% BTC price gains take cryptocurrency markets higher.<\/p>\n
In what could yet turn out to be a classic \u201cUptober\u201d for Bitcoin and altcoins, BTC\/USD is back near 2023 highs as a resistance battle brews. Can bulls win?<\/p>\n
That is the key question for traders and market observers going into the week\u2019s first Wall Street open as Asia sets the tone for a crypto comeback.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the United States Federal Reserve\u2019s interest rate decision on Nov. 1, the month\u2019s final prints will be all the more significant. Geopolitical events meanwhile add another element to market unpredictability.<\/p>\n
With much at stake for crypto and risk assets, the week thus looks to be a rollercoaster in the making as Bitcoin bulls seek to effect a major trend change via a breakout from a multi-month trading range.<\/p>\n
