Bitcoin rallied 42.7% in Q3, climbing from $58,544 to $83,570, driven largely by the U.S. Treasury doubling long-dated bond purchases which boosted global risk assets. Ethereum and other altcoins also saw significant gains. However, the crypto market now faces uncertainty in Q4 as Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and inflation trends will heavily influence whether this momentum continues. Institutional ETF flows have turned negative, signaling cautious investor sentiment amid macroeconomic concerns. The market could either sustain growth if rates hold or ease, or face volatility and pullbacks if hawkish policies return.
