3 Crypto-Centric Stocks to Buy on the Dip Before Its Next Rally

Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin slipped 3.7% in October after hitting an all-time high early in the month.
  • NVDA, IBKR and HOOD show rising earnings estimates, signaling crypto-driven upside.
  • Historical November gains and potential rate cuts could boost Bitcoin's next rally.

Cryptocurrencies have had an impressive run this year after a stellar 2024, but the rally halted abruptly last month, with Bitcoin (BTC) suffering its worst October in years.

Bitcoin’s sudden decline came after the cryptocurrency hit an all-time high in early October. Massive liquidations sweeping through leveraged markets and several other geopolitical factors have been weighing on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. However, Bitcoin still has a lot of room to advance and November, which has traditionally been good for Bitcoin, could reverse the tide.

Given this situation, it would be ideal to take the buy-the-dip approach and invest in crypto-focused stocks. We have selected three stocks: NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) , Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR - Free Report) and Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) . Each of these stocks has strong growth potential for 2025 and has seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the past 60 days.

Bitcoin Declines But November Holds Promise

Bitcoin suffered its worst October since 2018, with the cryptocurrency declining nearly 3.7% for the month. Bitcoin closed just above $110,000 in October. It has since declined further and was hovering around $107,600 on Monday morning.

This is sharply lower than its all-time high of $126,300 achieved on Oct. 6. However, Bitcoin is still sharply higher than its yearly low of $66,000. The decline in October came primarily because of a whopping $19 billion in liquidations that hit leveraged markets in October, fueling wild swings leading to massive selloffs across several exchanges.

Also, the ongoing government shutdown has now started raising concerns over the economy being impacted further. President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff war with China also dented investors’ sentiment further in October. Although the U.S.-China trade tensions have eased over the past week, the situation is yet to normalize.

Despite a spate of obstacles, investors are hopeful about November, which has historically been the best month for Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency has gained 42.5% on average in November since 2013. Also, Bitcoin is still up 13.6% year to date. Moreover, if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by another 25 basis points this year, Bitcoin may get a further boost.
