Bitcoin falls to its $83,000 average ETF cost basis on the worst fund outflows since June
US spot bitcoin ETFs shed $484.9 million on Wednesday, their worst day since June 25, as bitcoin fell to the roughly $83,000 average ETF cost basis. Inflows have historically been slow at breakeven, Bitfinex says, so October's strong seasonal record is a weak guide to positioning.

Myriad traders price Bitcoin's $90,000 October at 48% against a 5.29% Treasury yield
Myriad traders give Bitcoin 48% odds of touching $90,000 in October, a 7.4% climb that is half the month's median gain since 2013. Rates explain that discount better than fund flows do, since September's spot-ETF buyers have so far barely sold.

Bitcoin rose 0.9% to $84,376 after August core PCE came in at 3.0%, below the 3.3% economists expected. Lower odds of an October Fed hike did little for a market whose September rally ran on ETF inflows that have since faded.
