TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Crypto market players are viewing the consolidation of crypto assets after the meeting between US President Trump‘s and China’s Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea, as a sign that geopolitical factors continue to be the primary driver of market sentiment.
“The current price consolidation reflects the digital market’s adaptation mechanism to rapidly changing global macroeconomic conditions,” said Indodax Vice President Antony Kusuma in Jakarta on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
According to Antony, crypto assets experience moderate corrections with Bitcoins (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) each dropping by 1.66 percent and 1.64 percent, resulting in a market capitalization decline of around 0.77 percent.
Antony said investors are no longer just reacting to interest rate figures or monetary policies but are beginning to evaluate the overall context, from geopolitics and institutional capital flows to market psychology.
The correction that occurred after the Fed’s announcement is a tangible example of an increasingly rational market behavior.
The tariff deal and the resolution of rare earths issues send positive signals, but the market tends to await actual implementation before reacting significantly.
According to him, wise crypto investors will seize this volatility for accumulation purposes, not just to follow price trends.
Antony stated that crypto investors should view volatility as a strategic opportunity, since digital market differs from traditional markets. Sharp price shifts create moments for investors to optimize their portfolios.
The key is discipline, diversification, and a fundamental understanding of assets. Those who can interpret the global economic context and institutional behavior will be better prepared to face short-term uncertainty while maximizing long-term profit potential.
Antony emphasized the importance of understanding the interaction between monetary policy and the digital market sentiment. “Interest rate cuts and the Trump-Xi Jinping meeting indicate liquidity, but their effects are always relative to real economic conditions and investor expectations,” he said.
The combination of the Fed’s monetary policy and international trade issues creates pressure on digital assets, while offering opportunities for disciplined investors.
He emphasized that institutional investors demonstrate maturity by leveraging corrections for accumulation, while retail investors are advised to constantly update information, adjust strategies, and conduct independent analysis before making decisions.
