BTC is consolidating weakly near $81k, while ETH was subdued throughout the day at around $2,385. No major surprise developments, but tonight’s after-hours U.S. earnings and the 20:30 housing starts report could affect risk appetite in the overnight session.
Today’s recap: BTC around $81,400–81,500 (24h: approximately -0.7% to -1.1%), holding above the $80k round-number level, but buying demand is weak; ETH around $2,385 (24h: approximately -1.5% to -1.7%). On Deribit, BTC put options traded at more than twice the volume of calls, with the $80,000 puts expiring 10-30 the most active. Options market sentiment is bearish. (CoinDesk, CoinMarketCap)
Liquidations: Approximately $155 million across the market over the past 24h, down about 55% from the previous day. Longs accounted for about 69%; no new wave of liquidations so far. (CoinGlass via CoinDesk)
ETF flows: On Monday (10-19), U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw net inflows of approximately $527 million, their largest single-day inflow in nearly a month. BlackRock’s IBIT alone recorded +$665 million for the day, its biggest inflow in more than a year. Spot ETH ETFs saw $103.3 million in net outflows, marking a fourth consecutive day of outflows.
