October tends to be an up month for bitcoin, according to Bespoke Investment Group. But its never had a bear market like this one.

"Yesterday we saw a knee jerk reaction lower in all markets which was algo-driven, then short-covering and real buying stepped in, which was the right response to the CPI data," said Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at Arca. "Markets aren't concerned with inflation, they are concerned with the Fed's expected response to inflation, and nothing changed yesterday: 75 basis points was baked in, it was confirmed further by the CPI data.

October tends to be an up month for bitcoin, according to Bespoke Investment Group. Bitcoin's never been in a bear marketThe cryptocurrency's third-quarter return of 6% – and ether's 25% return – outperformed other asset classes and both have held up fairly well, trading within the $19,000 level for much of the past month, due to the uncertain macro environment.

It had been a tough week for markets before the CPI data was released. Yuya Hasegawa, crypto market analyst at Japanese crypto exchange Bitbank, said the rebound could trigger an unwinding of recent risk-off sentiment in stocks. That "could have a positive effect on the price of bitcoin," he said. "If the price recovers the $20,000 psychological level with substantial trading volume in the next few days, bitcoin could test $23,000 next week."
