BTC is holding in the $83K-84K zone today, pulling back from this month's high above $87K but still holding up well given the backdrop. Long liquidations hit near $82.7K overnight, about $330M wiped in a matter of hours, while total market cap slipped roughly 2% to $2.87T.
Macro pressure hasn't gone away either. Iran tensions keep oil above $100, and higher yields are adding weight on risk assets broadly. Despite that, US spot BTC ETFs pulled in about $2.39B in weekly inflows, a 2026 high, which says institutional demand is still very much intact even as price cools off.
Trending on the alt side: GreenHood $HOOD up over 200% this week, KAIO up more than 80%, and Chintai $CHEX up around 70%, all outperforming the broader tape hard.
Levels worth watching: holding above $82.7K keeps the September range intact, a break below opens more room to the downside. Reclaiming $85K-87K is what puts the bulls back in control.
Bitcoin holds near 75,000 into the biggest macro print of the week, roughly flat in 24 hours after dipping toward 73,750 overnight. Ethereum sits near 2,123, down about 1%, while Solana trades near 86, down about 2%.
Today the US October CPI lands, and it carries an unusual twist. Consensus looks for headline inflation up 0.3% month on month and core up 0.2%, cooler than September's 0.6% and 0.3%. There will be no year on year figure this time, because the BLS never collected October 2025 prices during the shutdown, so the market will judge the print month on month only.
The stakes are high. A December Fed hike is priced near 75% to 80%, and a soft core print could cool that fast, while a hot one could push it higher. Bitcoin also closed the week below its 50 week average near 75,200, so a weak print could test how much patience buyers still have.
👀 Support 75,000 and 73,200. Resistance 76,000 and 80,000.
CPI lands later today and could set the tone into the Fed meeting in December.
After a heavy week, BTC trades near 74,800, down about 1.6% in 24h after dipping toward 73,500. ETH sits near 2,125, down about 5%, while SOL trades near 87, down about 3.6%. Fear is high, and most of the top 100 are still red.
This is the phase where recovery usually starts quietly, not with a green candle everyone can see. If there is a coin you truly believe in, this is the time to scale in slowly, in small tranches, instead of chasing one entry or going all in at once.
Keep some cash aside too. October CPI lands tomorrow, and one hot print could still shake the tape before any real recovery takes hold.
BTC is testing the 75K shelf again, near 74,900 and down about 1% in 24h after dipping toward 73,800 overnight. ETH leads the slide, near 2,130 and down about 5%, while SOL sits near 87, down about 3%.
The tape stays heavy after US spot BTC ETFs lost about 1.28B last week, the biggest weekly outflow since June. All eyes now turn to October CPI tomorrow, with consensus near 0.3% month on month and no year on year print this time. A hot number could firm up December hike odds near 80% and put the shelf under more pressure.
👀 Support 75,000 and 73,200. Resistance 76,000 and 80,000.
CPI lands tomorrow morning US time and could set the tone into the Fed meeting in December.
BTC trades near 75,700, roughly flat in 24h, sitting right on short term holder cost basis near the same level. ETH holds near 2,235 while SOL slips toward 89.
Spot BTC ETFs saw 430.2M in net outflows on Thursday, with no fund recording inflows, and the Fear and Greed Index sits at 25 in extreme fear.
FinCEN moved to cut MEXC off from the US financial system over alleged 16B in illicit flows, a reminder that regulatory pressure is still in play.
👀 Support near 75,700 and 73,200, resistance near 76,000 and 80,000. October CPI on Tuesday is the next big test.
BTC trades near 75,900, roughly flat in 24h, after dipping toward 74,900 on a hot US jobs report. October payrolls rose 165,000, far above the 65,000 consensus, while unemployment eased to 4.1% and prior months were revised up by 84,000.
ETH holds near 2,240, little changed in 24h, while SOL trades near 90, up about 1%. Spot BTC and ETH ETFs saw combined net outflows of about 530 million in the November 5 session.
A strong labor market gives the Fed more room to focus on inflation, and December hike bets moved higher after the print. The dip low near 74,900 is the first level to watch, with the 200 day average near 73,200 below. October CPI on November 10 is the next big input ahead of the December 9 Fed meeting.
📡 Market Update | BTC Gives Back 80K As Tech Sells Off
BTC is trading near 76,100, down about 6% in 24h, giving back the whole midterm rebound. It climbed above 80,000 after Democrats secured both chambers, then slid as US tech stocks sold off hard.
ETH leads the drop near 2,240, down about 8% in 24h, while SOL trades near 90, down about 6%. More than 1B in leveraged positions was liquidated in 24h, mostly longs, per CoinGlass. The Nasdaq fell 5.52% on Thursday, its worst day since April 2025, on AI valuation fears.
About 2.65B in BTC options expire today, with max pain near 79,000. October payrolls land today at 8:30 ET, with consensus near 59K to 65K and unemployment seen at 4.2%. A soft print could cool December hike bets, while a hot one may keep pressure on risk.
BTC is back above 80K, trading near 80,500 after a sharp round trip. It dipped toward 75,600 as early midterm counts came in, then reversed hard once Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress.
ETH leads the rebound near 2,425, up about 6% in 24h, while SOL trades near 96. The snapback flushed leverage too, with close to 1B in liquidations in 24h. That kind of flush can clear weak hands, but it also shows how fast this market can swing both ways.
The next test is close. October payrolls arrive Friday, and that print could set the tone into next week. Holding above 80K would keep the recovery intact, while a slip back below it would put the midterm rebound in question.
📡 Market Update | Midterms Counting, BTC Holds Near 77K
BTC trades near 77,300, roughly flat in 24 hours, while ETH trades near 2,280, up about 1%, and SOL near 92, little changed. The calm tape so far suggests the market is waiting for a clearer count rather than reacting to early headlines.
Early Senate results show Democratic wins in Georgia and New Hampshire, plus a flip in North Carolina, but control of the House and Senate is still undecided as counting continues. That gap between early results and a final call is worth watching, since a slow count could keep volatility contained today and push the bigger reaction later in the week.
ETH firming even as US spot ETH ETFs logged a sixth straight day of outflows on Monday is another point to note. It could signal dip demand holding for now, though one day of firming does not confirm a trend.
Today brings ADP employment and ISM Services data, ahead of October payrolls on Friday. A labour surprise either way could move Fed pricing fast, so the macro calendar still matters more than any single early election headline.
Worth watching whether BTC holds near 77K through the count, or whether today's data gives risk assets a clearer direction.
BTC trades near 76,900, down about 1.6% in 24 hours, while ETH trades near 2,256 and SOL near 92. The total crypto market cap sits near 2.674T, down about 0.7% in 24 hours, so the slip looks broad rather than isolated.
Today is US midterm election day, with all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats on the ballot. Control of Congress could shape the outlook for crypto legislation and oversight, so traders will watch results as they come in for any surprise versus what markets already expect.
September JOLTS job openings data also lands today, ahead of October payrolls on Friday. A soft or strong labour print could shift Fed pricing fast, so volatility could stay high through the week.
Worth watching whether BTC holds near 77K as results come in, or whether election uncertainty keeps pressure on risk assets into Friday's jobs data.
Binance recorded net outflows of $6.148B in 24 hours and $12.47B over 7 days on the DeFiLlama dashboard, even as it still holds $128.872B in tracked assets.
The context matters. Withdrawals reopened in phases after the $6.3B hack, and Binance says the first rush has since slowed. Binance also disputes the DeFiLlama figure, saying it misses flows to its new hot wallet, and puts its own net outflow at $3.64B in the first 9.5 hours.
Either way, the signal is clear. Trust is being tested in real time, not in statements. Outflows of this size are a vote, and the next days will show whether they stabilise or keep running. 👀
BTC trades near 78,300, up about 1% in 24 hours, while ETH trades near 2,280, up about 1%. The bounce stays modest after a volatile week, and breadth still looks mixed rather than broad.
Binance has restarted withdrawals in phases after the 6.3B theft, starting with BTC, ETH, DOGE and selected stablecoins. The exchange put net outflows at 3.64B, about 2.1% of assets, and said withdrawals are stabilizing after an initial spike. It also says about 95% of stolen assets are now covered.
That reopening test could matter more than the bounce itself. A proof of reserves update remains in focus, and traders will watch whether outflows keep easing or pick up again.
Ahead this week, US midterms land Tuesday and October payrolls print Friday, with consensus near 65k and unemployment near 4.2%. Volatility could stay high into Friday, so BTC holding near 78k into those events is worth watching.
BTC ended October 31 near 77,435, up about 0.4% on the day, while ETH closed near 2,253 and SOL near 95.5. The market looks calm on the surface, but breadth stays weak and fear still leads sentiment.
The FBI has linked the 6.3B Binance theft to North Korean hackers known as TraderTraitor, the same group tied to last year's Bybit hack. The bureau urged exchanges to block linked transactions as stolen funds are converted, mostly into ETH. That headline keeps security in focus as Binance works toward reopening.
The week ahead could matter more than today. US midterms land Tuesday, and October payrolls print Friday, with consensus in a 55k to 65k range and unemployment near 4.2%. A soft or strong jobs print could shift December Fed pricing fast, so volatility may stay high into Friday.
Worth watching how BTC holds near 77k into those events, and whether reopening news brings fresh confidence or fresh caution.
Binance says about 80% of the funds lost in its security incident are already covered, with over 6.34 billion set aside and about 3 billion frozen on chain.
Withdrawals are set to resume in phases within about 34 hours, subject to security checks, while a first proof of reserves snapshot is due before November 2.
BTC closed October 30 near 77,160, holding below 80,000 as the market watches whether withdrawals reopen cleanly.
👀 A clean phased reopening may help confidence recover. A delay or fresh issue could keep pressure on majors, so this is worth watching closely.
BTC wicked down to around 77k, and that wick could be the local bottom. The 74k to 76k zone looks like strong support, and with Binance covering the losses, downside could be limited.
Net buying pressure could stay strong if Binance needs to buy back around $1.4B at market, while the hacker cannot dump quickly. Those who were worried have already sold.
On alts, the stance stays more cautious. Binance should recover, but the incident brings back memories of October 10. ICE and Stan Druckenmiller backing Hyperliquid based perps in the US, right as Binance takes the biggest hack, is a side story worth noting. The main watch stays on BTC and that 74k to 76k zone.
