🔥 Morning Market Brief | Bitcoin holds the $81,000 level as leverage cools
$BTC is trading at around $81,546, largely unchanged over the past 24 hours. Ether has also edged up, Solana is up nearly 1%, and BNB has pulled back slightly. Overall, the market is moving sideways on lower trading volume.
The derivatives market has cooled noticeably: around $315 million in liquidations occurred across the market over the past 24 hours, down sharply from the peak of nearly $1 billion on October 15. The leverage flush-out is nearing its end, and the most tense phase may be behind us.
Institutional capital remains cautious: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $82.39 million on October 16, marking a second consecutive week of net outflows and suggesting traditional investors are still sitting on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Bitcoin search interest on Google has fallen to a multi-year low. Retail interest is at rock bottom—which is often when market noise is at its lowest.
The most important event over the next 10 days is the FOMC rate decision on October 28. Technically, $BTC is holding above its 50-day moving average, while the RSI is in neutral territory at 46. The $80,000 level is the first key battleground between bulls and bears.
Ahead of the FOMC meeting, do you think the market will continue to build a base sideways, or will it choose a direction first?
