🔐 END-OF-DAY MARKET REPORT — October 7, 2026

━━━

🌐 TOP NEWS OF THE DAY

Renewed Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz weakened expectations that maritime traffic would return to pre-war levels; Brent crude rose above $101.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield remains above 5.3%; the 25-basis-point hike that brought the Fed's policy rate to the 3.75%-4.00% range in September was the first tightening move since 2023.

The minutes of the Fed's September meeting are being released today at 21:00 TRT; the market is looking for clues regarding a second rate hike.

The S&P 500 closed at a record level, while index futures are flat; the technology-led rally is not moving in the same direction as crypto.

Saudi Arabia confirmed that the Houthis had attacked airports; the strategic reserve releases planned by the G7 are limiting concerns over oil supply.

In the U.S. Senate, the procedural vote on the CLARITY Act fell below the 60-vote threshold at 49-50 on September 16; Democrats cited ethical concerns, while three Republicans also voted against it. The bill has remained stalled since then.

₿ BITCOIN

Bitcoin traded in the $83,650-$86,650 range during the day and is trading around $84,000. The $87,000 resistance that has limited every upward attempt since the end of September was not broken today either; the first short-term hurdle is $85,300, followed by $86,700. On the downside, $84,000 and the day's low of $83,650 are the first supports. If the daily close falls below $83,300, the $80,600-$82,600 range could come into focus.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $89.9 million in net outflows on October 5; BlackRock's IBIT recorded $69.9 million in inflows, while ARKB saw $85.2 million in outflows. Over the past 24 hours, 88% of the $546 million in liquidations came from long positions; with open interest in futures remaining at $69.3 billion, the risk of sharp moves remains elevated. The price remains approximately 33% below the $126,080 peak from one year ago.

RSI is around 44, indicating a slight bearish bias; without a high-volume close above $87,000, a move toward $90,000 is not a realistic target.

🔷 ETHEREUM & ALTCOINS

Ethereum fell from its weekly opening around $2,700 to $2,580 and is down approximately 42.5% over the past 12 months. The largest liquidation of the day occurred in Ethereum: $174.9 million, putting it first among liquidated assets, while a single $26.6 million ETH/USDC position was closed on Binance.

XRP fell as low as $1.435 before returning to the $1.45-$1.55 range; if $1.39 breaks, selling could deepen, while $1.62 is the upside target. Cardano pulled back from $0.28 and is consolidating around $0.25; $0.237 is support, while $0.26 is resistance.

📋 KEY CRYPTO NEWS

Bitget confirmed that the $387.5 million theft was caused by a zero-day vulnerability in third-party security products. Attackers obtained highly privileged internal credentials and carried out withdrawals that bypassed risk controls across 11 blockchains; malicious activity began on August 31, while the main theft occurred on September 25. Circle, Tether, and NEAR Intents froze approximately $1.1 million, while the exchange disabled affected functions until a vendor patch was provided.

A vault on Base was drained of approximately 1,783 wstETH worth $6 million after a multisig wallet removed a contract and reauthorized it one minute later with valid signatures, allowing the assets to be borrowed through Aave V3 (October 4). The incident appears to involve suspected key compromise or approval manipulation rather than a protocol vulnerability.

September was the worst month of 2026 for crypto hacks, with losses reaching $766 million.

The Hyperliquid team announced that the 3.75 million HYPE unlock on October 6, worth approximately $340 million, went to a single institutional buyer.

Ethena moved the ENA unlock forward on its schedule and completed it on October 5: 171.9 million ENA, worth approximately $41.5 million and representing 1.88% of circulating supply, was distributed to core team members and investors.

🔭 OUTLOOK AND EVENTS AHEAD

Equities are at record highs while crypto is opening at the week's lows: risk appetite is diverging, and crypto is struggling to attract buyers in a high-interest-rate environment. The liquidation of leveraged longs could create the conditions for a bottom, but ETF inflows need to turn positive again for that to happen.

If the minutes signal further tightening, pressure from interest rates and the dollar could push Bitcoin toward the $80,000 area; a softer tone, on the other hand, could open the door to another test of $87,000. A series of exchange hacks could keep institutional inflows cautious while the legislative deadlock continues. In the short term, direction will be determined less by macroeconomic data than by which of these two thresholds breaks first.
