📊 $BTC 81,892 (-0.8%): it dipped under 81K and still closed above my 81.2K line
Market Brief: October 23rd, 2026 (Friday)
$ETH 2,410 (-1.0%). Total cap $2.76T, BTC dominance 59.4%.
🔸 Thursday's low was 80,940, 0.3% under the 81.2K line from yesterday's brief, but the daily close was 81,416. It held on a close, barely.
🔸 The Nasdaq fell 2.6% on AI spending worries, and BTC fell 3.2% on the day. Not a hedge this time.
🔸 Four of the five biggest 24h gainers on Binance Futures have no spot market. The moves are in perps, not in the spot book.
What I'm doing: waiting. A daily close under 80.9K, yesterday's low, would change my read.
Follow for tomorrow's brief. Is BTC still trading like a tech stock for you? 👇
