📊 *Crypto Market Update — Oct 1, 2026 (8am WAT)*

New month, new quarter. Here's your Thursday crypto snapshot:

*Bitcoin (BTC):* ~$83,756 — holding the $83K level after yesterday's consolidation. Q3 closed in the red but the recovery is holding.

*Ethereum (ETH):* ~$2,693 — fighting to stay above $2,700. Mixed signals as we open Q4.

*Toncoin → Gram:* ~$1.48 — stabilizing after a volatile week post-rebrand. Watching for a base.

Overall: a cautious Q4 open — majors consolidating, no clear direction yet. October historically a strong month for crypto ("Uptober"). Watch for a breakout above $84K BTC — that could set the tone for the month.
