#bitcoin traded at $82,000-$83,000 Monday — rejected at $84,000 for a third time, floor defended at $80,700 for a fourth — as Nasdaq futures rebounded 1%+ after last week’s 5.5% selloff. The bounce barely registered in crypto: Bitcoin +0.3%, against a 3% chipmaker ETF gain. China’s Q3 GDP at 4.5% (vs 4.3% prior) and easing oil prices drove Asia’s recovery; the KOSPI reversed a 3.17% opening drop to close +1.76%. Altcoin Season index at 56, down from a 2026 record of 63 — the index requires 75 to qualify, meaning 2026 has never produced an actual altcoin season. This week’s tech earnings (Meta, Tesla, then Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple) settle the AI capex question that drove last week’s damage.
