📊 Crypto Market Review: October 12–18, 2026
📉 Market Correction Continues
Crypto markets ended the week under pressure as rising inflation, hawkish Fed expectations, and institutional outflows weighed on investor sentiment.
🔹 $BTC : ~$81.4K — down approximately 0.9% over the week.
🔹 $ETH : ~$2.41K — down around 3.7%, underperforming Bitcoin.
🔹 Total Market Cap: ~$2.72T — down approximately 2.9%.
🔹 BTC Dominance: 60.2% — investors continued favoring Bitcoin over altcoins.
🔹 Fear & Greed Index: 55 — Greed, but optimism is fading.
💸 Institutional Flows
US crypto ETFs recorded approximately $610.7M in net outflows during the week, with Ethereum funds experiencing heavier withdrawals than Bitcoin funds.
🔎 Market Outlook

Key levels to watch: $80K support for BTC and $2.4K for ETH. A sustained recovery will likely require stronger demand and renewed institutional inflows.
