Crypto markets end the week under pressure as macro signals turn cautious and risk sentiment dominates. Bitcoin slid below $108,000, marking its worst October return in years, while Ethereum traded near $3,868 after falling ~3.6% today.

This move comes as the Federal Reserve has signaled that future rate cuts are far from guaranteed, increasing headwinds for the crypto industry. Options markets are also in focus, with $16 billion of Bitcoin and Ethereum options set to expire today near key price zones.
