Hyperliquid is trading below 86$ on Tuesday, extending its pullback from last week's high by $98.03. $HYPE shows a bearish bias in the short term, as the pair falls below the 50- and 100-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the four-hour chart, located at 90.77$ and 88.81$, respectively, while remaining modestly above the 200-period EMA at 84.40$, which acts as support for the underlying trend.
BlackRock and Fidelity inject $1.86 billion into bitcoin ETFs in a week
The most notable aspect of last week’s bitcoin ETF rally was its persistence. Capital flowed into the funds every trading day, even as the price of bitcoin pulled back from roughly $87,000 toward the end of the week. Investors increased their exposure during the pullback, turning five consecutive sessions into the largest weekly inflow into bitcoin ETFs since October 2025. Monday set the pace with $998.95 million—the largest single-day inflow into bitcoin ETFs in 2026 and the ninth largest in history. #btc
$XRP is currently trading at around $1.48 on Binance, down about 2% on the day and below the $1.66 high it reached on September 23. Traders at Kalshi who set a price of $1.70 for the September expiry have now got two days left.
The broader market is also not helping, as the price of bitcoin has fallen today to $82,705, even after U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs absorbed $239 million in the same week—roughly 32 times the amount captured by $XRP. Veteran trader Peter Brandt has argued that the charts give him reasons to bet on $XRP, but the steady inflows alone have not yet been enough to push the price above resistance.
With less than 100 days until 2026 ends, cryptocurrency prediction markets have developed a peculiar double personality. Traders bet that Ethereum ($ETH), Solana ($SOL) and Zcash ($ZEC) could reach considerably higher prices before December ends; however, the contracts that measure the real value at which those assets will close the year tell a different story.
The price of bitcoin (BTC) is projected to close September with a positive balance and pave the way for a period of favorable returns. The quotation surpassed USD 87,000 on September 21, its highest level since January, before pulling back toward USD 84,500.
From the lowest point of USD 57,700 to the current level of USD 84,500, the digital currency has recorded a 46.7% increase.
Against this backdrop, market analyst Ali Martinez said: “Uptober is almost here.” The term refers to the English combination of the words “October” and “up” (upward), used to define a period marked by frequent increases. “If the seasonal pattern holds, BTC could be gearing up for another strong month,” Martinez added.
Wall Street has accelerated its losses since the opening and is once again facing one of the risks that can do the most damage to stock valuations: the rising cost of U.S. government debt. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much as 406 points, or 0.79%, as selling picked up in intensity in the technology sector.
