📊 $BTC 82,269 (+1.1%): back above 82K after a dip under 80K, and nearly everything followed

Market Brief: October 16th, 2026 (Friday)

$ETH 2,458 (+3.6%). Total cap $2.79T, BTC dominance 59.2%.

🔸 BTC wicked to 79,800 at 13:00 UTC yesterday, bounced 3.5%, and has held above 81.6K for 18 hours.

🔸 52 of 58 liquid pairs are green, and ETH is rising three times as fast as BTC.

🔸 Fear & Greed is 51, the same as yesterday, and BTC funding is only 0.0063% per 8h. Sentiment and leverage have not moved with price.

What I'm doing: watching whether 80K holds on today's close, and not chasing a one-day bounce.
