Bitcoin falls below $80,000 after hot inflation reports, under the $81,500 ETF cost basis, as ETFs see $859 million in outflows over six sessions

Bitcoin fell below $80,000 on Oct. 15 after September CPI hit 3.7% and producer prices rose 1.3% on the month, CryptoSlate reported. Sygnum's base case is a range-bound market into the Oct. 28 Fed meeting, with options pricing $80,000 to $87,000 and spot already below the floor.

Bitcoin bounces 3.5% off a $79,694 low as Seoul's chipmakers recover

Bitcoin dipped below $80,000 and recovered to about $82,500 within hours, coindesk.com and Bitcoin News reported. The sources tie it more firmly to Fed rate-hike odds after hot CPI than to chip stocks, and the chip link rests on one session.

Bitcoin's 10-block quantum sweep model covers 2.5 million BTC, two-fifths of the 6.04 million exposed

CryptoSlate's model fits a hypothetical 2.5 million BTC quantum sweep into 10 Bitcoin blocks, well under the 6.04 million BTC Glassnode counts as exposed. Jameson Lopp estimated about 2.6 million exposed BTC might be unable to migrate, the group a legacy-signature restriction could lock out.

Bitcoin's $80,000 support sits 10% below the $88,000 cost basis of holders seeking to exit

Glassnode says Bitcoin must reclaim $88,000, the cost basis of six-to-twelve-month holders, after US spot ETFs shed about $760 million since October 7. It wants sustained ETF inflows as confirmation, and hot September CPI has raised expectations of another Fed hike.

Large bitcoin holders are buying faster than at any time since February

Bitcoin whales raised holdings to 3.03 million BTC while US spot ETFs lost $744.3 million over six sessions. The whale reading is a 30-day growth rate, so Wednesday's CPI print will test a comparison across unequal windows.

StarkWare's challenge drove the estimated compute cost of a quantum-safe Bitcoin spend to $59

Researchers in StarkWare's optimization challenge cut the estimated compute cost of a quantum-safe Bitcoin spend by 82%, to $59. The method covers only coins with hidden public keys, so the 6.04 million BTC with exposed keys stay outside its reach.

Bitcoin with exposed public keys grows 3.5 times faster than new supply

Glassnode's Rafael Schultze-Kraft counts 31.2% of circulating Bitcoin behind exposed public keys, up 222,000 BTC since May while supply grew 64,000 BTC. Exchanges supplied most of that rise, and a venue can cut its share by moving reserves to fresh addresses.

Brent above $105 and 24-year-high bond yields push Bitcoin back to $81,000

Bitcoin fell to about $81,000 on Thursday as Brent crude rose above $105 on reports that the US may strike Iran again. Whether it holds the $82,500 support traders are watching now depends largely on Treasury yields and oil prices.

Europol tells crypto holders to move exposed wallet keys before quantum computers can break them

Europol named wallet keys as crypto's main quantum exposure, a risk that covers the 6.04 million bitcoin Glassnode counts with public keys already on-chain. Its report says those coins can be protected only by moving them before an attack, so the length of the migration queue sets the deadline for custodians.

Bitcoin extended its selloff on Oct. 8, falling through the $82,180 support level to an intraday low near $80,800, CryptoSlate reported. The next cluster of liquidations that Glassnode models below that low sits near $75,000, about 7% further down.

Bitcoin slips into a Glassnode liquidation band after a $484.9 million ETF exit

US spot Bitcoin ETFs shed a net $484.9 million on Oct. 7, their largest one-day outflow since June, Farside Investors data show. At about $82,700, Bitcoin now trades inside the band where Glassnode maps its nearest liquidation cluster, so the next move depends on how leverage is stacked there.

Citi's old flow ratio carries Bitcoin to about $102,600, short of the bank's $113,000 target

Citi raised its twelve-month Bitcoin target to $113,000, a call that needs a 36% gain from the Oct. 7 price. Citi's own 2025 flow ratio reaches only about $102,600 when applied to the bank's $5 billion inflow forecast, CryptoSlate calculated.

Two sessions account for all of Bitcoin's Wall Street-hours loss since Sept. 21

Bitcoin has lost a compounded 3.24% in US stock-market hours since Sept. 21 and gained 6.07% outside them, a CryptoSlate analysis of Binance data shows. Coinbase prices show the same timing, but neither the exchange data nor ETF flows identify US institutions as the sellers.

Existing holders drove three-fifths of Bitcoin's $12.8 billion realized-cap gain, Glassnode estimates

Glassnode estimates $4.9 billion of new money entered Bitcoin in the 30 days to October 5, against a $12.8 billion rise in realized cap. Most of the gain came from holders already in the market paying each other more, so the advance now depends on outside cash picking up.

Bitcoin's $89.9 million ETF outflow is too small to explain its stall below $87,000

US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost a net $89.9 million on Monday, roughly 0.08% of their $110.8 billion in assets, while Bitcoin stalled again below $87,000. Counted with the two sessions before it, the funds were net buyers, so the sellers who turned the price back over those three days were mostly outside the funds.

Bitcoin stalls under its $87,400 high a second time as futures leverage rebuilds

Bitcoin rose to just shy of $86,950 on Monday, within about $500 of its eight-month high, then fell below $86,000, its second stalled rally in a week. Soft U.S. jobs data drove the move, and clearing the high looks to need both lower Treasury yields and leveraged buyers willing to keep paying to wait.
