Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis for October 19
The rates of most coins keep rising on the last day of the week, according to CoinStats.
BTC/USD
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has gone up by 1.34% over the last 24 hours.
On the hourly chart, the rate of BTC has broken the local resistance of $108,234. If the daily bar closes above that mark, the upward move is likely to continue to the $109,000 range.
On the bigger time frame, the price of the main crypto is going up after yesterday's bullish closure. However, the volume is low, which means bulls might need more time to get strength for a continued move.
In this regard, consolidation in the narrow range of $108,000-$110,000 is the more likely scenario.
From the midterm point of view, the situation is less positive for buyers. If the weekly bar closes near its low, there is a high chance of a test of the support of $100,426 by the end of the month.
Bitcoin is trading at $108,455 at press time.

VIPTradFi Focus: Where Does the RWA Market Stand Today?
1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
