Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has hinted at a possible halt to tapering, citing significant downside risks to employment. The market took this as a dovish signal, causing the U.S. dollar to weaken and the probability of a rate cut at the Oct 28–29 FOMC meeting to surge to 97.8%.

In crypto markets, BTC has stabilized above $110,000, while ETH shows reduced selling pressure. Despite calmer price action, options volatility (IV) remains elevated — BTC IV ~45%, ETH IV ~70% — reflecting ongoing uncertainty. The 7-day 25 Delta Skew turned positive, signaling growing rebound expectations among traders.

Market sentiment has shifted from risk-off to cautiously optimistic, with eyes on upcoming U.S. economic data and Fed commentary.
