The crypto market is having a whale of a time in “Uptober” with Bitcoin ($BTC) trading around the $69,000 level. Historically, “Uptober” has been a month of significant gains, and this year, it looks like a similar trend will follow.
Bitcoin ($BTC) Breaks Through $69,000
“Uptober” seems to be back on the table as Bitcoin ($BTC) soars. Bitcoin has faced months of sideways price action but is finally breaking out. October looks to be $BTC’s first positive month in a while, and at the time of writing, $BTC traded at $69,074 and has been up 1.27% over the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin is expected to grow even more during the coming months owing to continued optimism in US equity markets, the US elections and the hype around “Uptober.” ChangeNOW CMO Pauline Shangett explains that barring any sudden bouts of profit-taking, $BTC could break out of the multi-month downturn, potentially rally to $80,000 by the end of the year.
“Barring any sudden bouts of profit-taking, Bitcoin could consolidate the breakout of the multi-month downtrend. The first potential target of the new rally appears to be the high area historic figures as it approaches US$74,000, with a more distant target of US$80,000 by the end of the year,” the CMO says.
As the dominant store of value, BTC remains the go-to choice for institutional investors and is an essential element of any well-rounded portfolio. With its position as the market leader, Bitcoin is seen as a protective instrument even in turbulent times.
While Bitcoin investors will surely enjoy the “Uptober” gains, altcoins are gearing up to follow in the market leader’s footsteps.
Husky Inu ($HINU)
Memecoins such as Husky Inu ($HINU) have entered the memecoin space to take advantage of the perceived change in investment strategies. Husky Inu was created to add more value and utility to its holders by leveraging the power of the Solana blockchain. Husky Inu is working hard to build a platform that fits its purpose. The project’s recently launched presale has gone very well, with the first stage selling out within days. The second stage of its presale sold out, and the project is undertaking its third fundraising round with great enthusiasm. Since going live, the presale has generated nearly $453,000.
Husky Inu’s presale is no surprise, given what the platform has in store. The project plans to launch its Earn App and Decentralized Exchange. Beyond its grand plans, $HINU assures it prioritizes a reliable token ecosystem maintained through a well-set-out distribution model and capped token supply. $HINU has a capped token supply of 100 billion and boasts a deflationary quality. The deflationary aspect means that 50% of all platform fees collected from the upcoming Husky Inu Exchange and DEX will be used to buy and burn $HINU tokens to reduce the circulating supply of $HINU.
Dogecoin ($DOGE)
Dogecoin ($DOGE), the top memecoin by market cap according to CoinMarketCap, is undoubtedly following $BTC’s upward momentum.

Solana’s ability to process transactions quickly ensures that trades are efficiently executed, a feature essential to memecoin, which, by nature, is subject to rapid price fluctuations. Memecoins rely on community support, and Solana has cultivated a robust and active community which ideally serves memecoins.
