Gold fell below the round mark of $4000 per ounce for the first time since July, dropping to $3,986.85. The decline followed the collapse of US technology stocks: investors sold the metal to cover margin calls on other positions.
On Friday, October 23, at the start of the US session, BTC plunged to $80,988 - the low of the day. At the same time, Brent crude jumped about 3% to $116 per barrel, for the first time since March 19, and US stocks closed the week in the red.

According to calculations by analytics firm K33, BTC's 28-day realized volatility (a measure of the actual magnitude of price fluctuations over a period) has dropped to 1.2% - nearly the lowest value for all of 2026. The market has frozen right before the Fed meeting and the US elections.
The KBW Bank Index (a stock market indicator made up of shares of the largest US banks - it is used to judge whether investors believe in the financial sector) has been declining for the sixth week in a row and has lost 11% in a month and a half. There has not been such a long streak since the 2008 crisis.

October 12 is a holiday in the US - Columbus Day. The stock market is open, but government bond trading is closed, so investors are temporarily left without one of the main benchmarks of recent weeks - Treasury yields.
Initial jobless claims in the US came in at 197K versus a forecast of 200K. The market read the data as a signal of no mass layoffs: government bond yields rose, while US indices moved lower.
The yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds has risen to 5.70%, the highest level since 2002. Rising yields increase pressure on gold, raise borrowing costs and make stocks less attractive relative to government debt.
On October 2, the Nasdaq 100 updated its all-time high, and Nvidia shares also reached a new record. Both moves occurred in the first minutes of the main US session and were closely linked to each other.
Today, September 30, at 15:30 MSK, the US releases Core PCE. The forecast is 0.3% versus 0.2% a month earlier. The indicator is important for assessing the further trajectory of the Fed rate.
