$BTC Bulls Have $82K to Defend A 3% dip could shake out leverage; but are ETF buyers strong enough to absorb it ? Bitcoin is sitting near $83.8K, right where this market gets interesting. A 3% drop from here puts BTC around $81.3K, taking price straight through the $82K support everyone is watching. The leverage side deserves attention. CoinGlass shows roughly $53.3B in BTC futures open interest, with about $100M liquidated over the last 24 hours. That means there is still plenty of fuel for a sharp move if support fails. But spot demand is the bigger question. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs had a $3.1B inflow streak over nine sessions before losing $148.7M on September 30. September itself still finished with roughly $2.65B of net inflows. So I’m watching the $82K close more than the intraday wick. Hold it and BTC can keep rebuilding toward $85K–$86K. Lose it decisively, and late leveraged longs may become the first forced sellers. The real test isn’t whether $BTC dips 3%. It’s whether ETF demand is strong enough to buy that dip. #BTC Price Analysis# #Altcoin Season# #Macro Insights#
