📊 $BTC 80,670 (-1.2%): my 80.9K line held on Friday's close, but BTC is back under it today

Market Brief: October 24th, 2026 (Saturday)

$ETH 2,370 (-1.1%). Total cap $2.69T, BTC dominance 60.1%.

🔸 Friday's low was 80,462, 0.5% under that line, but the daily close was 81,160. A wick, not a break, two days running.

🔸 The Dow fell 653 points and WTI oil jumped 3.8% to $103. BTC finished Friday down only 0.3%. The Fed meets Tuesday and Wednesday.

🔸 One perpetual with no spot market went 16x in a day, then lost 88% in under two hours. $2.9B traded. The spot book never saw it.

What I'm doing: waiting. BTC already wicked to 80,405 today, so a daily close under 80.5K, Friday's low, would change my read.

Follow for tomorrow's brief. Do you trade the weekend or wait for Monday? 👇
