• Strategy on verge of golden cross, just weeks after bitcoin flashed same bullish signal

  Strategy (MSTR) is about to form a golden cross, when its 50-day average rises above its 200-day average, possibly as early as Monday, just weeks after bitcoin showed the same bullish signal. The company holds $69.81 billion in bitcoin, and its stock has had two earlier golden crosses followed by big rallies: from $15.57 in September 2020 to $127.29 by February 2021, a 717% gain, and from $25.29 on March 2, 2023 to a peak of $473.83 in November 2024, up 1,774%. The article stresses the signal is unreliable, though: since 1999 MSTR has had 19 golden crosses, and only 10 were followed by a higher price 12 months later, a 50% hit rate, with a median 12-month return of just 3.3%. The two worst cases, in 2001 and 2007, were followed by a 61% loss.

• Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound

  Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 as sellers stepped in, and was up 0.3% over 24 hours. The bounce followed tech stocks, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and an ETF tracking chipmakers jumping 3%. WTI crude recovered to $98.55 after touching $96.72, as the U.S. warned citizens across 12 Middle East locations of possible flight cancellations and airspace closures, raising fears of fresh strikes on Iran and disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after protests in France. Bitcoin would need to move through $84,000, its ceiling on October 13 and 14, to signal that the tech rebound is lifting it too.

• Bitcoin extends bounce above $82,000 as stocks rebound, DeFi tokens lead altcoin gains

  Bitcoin rose 0.8% to around $82,700 on Monday, extending a rebound from Sunday's dip to about $80,700, as China's third-quarter GDP beat expectations and Nasdaq 100 futures gained more than 1%. Altcoins outpaced bitcoin: the CoinDesk 80 rose 0.9%, about triple the CoinDesk 5's 0.35% gain, and DeFi led sector gains with a 0.81% rise. Derivatives volume jumped 51% to $146 billion over 24 hours, while open interest rose only 1.25% to $141 billion, suggesting traders churned contracts without adding much net exposure. Arbitrum climbed 6.7% to about $0.20 after the Arbitrum Foundation launched a stablecoin growth program, and Pump.fun gained 7.6%. By contrast, ADA's annualized perpetual funding rate is -8%, meaning shorts are paying to stay short.

• Stocks rebound into key tech earnings: Three things to know in Bitcoin this week

  Bitcoin started the week near $82,000 as stock markets attempted a tentative rebound after last week's tech-led selloff that began in South Korea, where KOSPI gained about 1.8% on Monday. Analysts expect bitcoin to retest $80,000 support after a weekly close below key local support, when the Coinbase Premium Index hit -0.14, its lowest level since late June. About 15% of S&P 500 companies report third-quarter earnings this week, including SpaceX, Tesla and Meta. Markets see 85% odds that the Federal Reserve keeps rates in the 3.75%-4.00% range at its October 28 meeting, and 75% odds of one 25-basis-point hike by year-end after two further hikes were priced out. Persistent inflation remains a concern, with September CPI at 3.7% year-on-year and PPI up 1.7% month-on-month, keeping tighter policy in view.

• Bitcoin, Ether ETFs shed $549M as October ETH outflows near $1B

  According to SoSoValue data, US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs recorded net outflows of $549 million last week, with Bitcoin ETFs losing $229 million and Ether funds $320 million. It was a second straight weekly outflow for Bitcoin ETFs and a third for Ether funds, though the pace slowed from the previous week's $1.22 billion. Spot Ether ETFs have seen roughly $955 million in net outflows in October so far, more than in any other month this year. Ether fell 5% over seven days to about $2,433 and Bitcoin dipped 1.3% to $82,783, per CoinGecko. Even so, both fund groups remain positive for 2026 year-to-date, with Bitcoin ETFs at about $259 million and Ether ETFs at about $610 million in net inflows.

• Financial 'whales' are pouring money back into Bitcoin

  BlackRock's crypto funds drew a net $7.9 billion of inflows in Q3, reversing $2.2 billion of outflows in the first half of 2026. Its digital asset holdings rose 63% to $79.6 billion by end-September from $48.8 billion at end-June, with $22.9 billion of the $30.8 billion gain coming from price increases. Still, assets remain 23% below the nearly $104 billion a year earlier, as market value losses of $30.6 billion over 12 months outweighed $6.3 billion of net inflows. CoinShares data show institutions held about 264,000 BTC through US spot bitcoin ETFs at end-Q2, up 1.3% from the prior quarter. The article notes that ETF ownership does not always signal long-term bets, as some positions may serve hedging or client asset management.

• Duong Son Ba Arrested, Hai Phong Thermal Power Loses Lawsuit and Must Pay VND 115 Billion to Partner

  Hai Phong Thermal Power (HND) disclosed an appellate ruling in a coal supply dispute with Dan Ka Mineral, under which the court accepted the plaintiff's appeal and ordered the company to pay nearly VND 115 billion, including a coal price difference of over VND 80.15 billion and interest of over VND 34.65 billion. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract, with disagreement over price adjustments after global coal prices rose sharply in 2022.

• Iran threatens to use the 'father of all missiles' to strike adversaries' energy facilities

  Major General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior adviser to the IRGC commander, said at a rally in Sari on October 18 that Iran has prepared the most advanced missiles and will respond to any aggression. He warned that energy infrastructure and investments belonging to powers Tehran deems aggressive in the region could fall within Iranian missile range. His remarks answered US President Donald Trump's threat to use the GBU-43/B MOAB, often called the 'mother of all bombs' and weighing about 14 tons, against Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. Naqdi said Iran also possesses these bombs, having seized some that failed to detonate in the 12-day war, and called Trump's impatience a 'public admission of defeat'.

• Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity

  At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.

• Baystreet . ca - When Might October Nasdaq Correction End ?

  The Nasdaq Composite (QQQ ETF) is 6.96% below its 52-week high after falling 5.52% last week, close to the 10% threshold for a technical correction. The article says high oil prices, sustained by Iran's control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, keep September CPI and PPI rising, and that Iran wants higher oil prices to hurt the Republican Party before the midterm elections, so the correction in beaten-down stocks may continue. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost 25.21% last week, closing just 3% above its yearly low, while bears holding a 17% short float bet its $50 billion debt is unsustainable. Nebius (NBIS) fell 25% and Twilio (TWLO) dropped 15.6%, while Autodesk (ADSK), Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) drew buying. The article suggests volatility may ease after the midterms.

• Prediction: Archer Aviation Triples Its Revenue by 2028. Here's What That Would Mean for the Stock.

  The author predicts Archer Aviation (ACHR) will more than triple its revenue by the end of 2028. Archer has barely generated $7 million in revenue over the last 12 months because its Midnight aircraft still lacks FAA approval for full commercial passenger operations, while analysts expect revenue of about $506 million by 2028. Potential upside includes a planned acquisition of three Boeing subsidiaries, one a profitable drone business with over $200 million in annual revenue, and a partnership with Anduril, including a UAE commitment to buy 50 Omen systems. Still, last quarter's operating expenses of about $284 million were more than half of projected 2028 revenue, so revenue growth alone would not necessarily send the stock soaring.

• Second Porphyry Discovery Confirmed at La Verde

  Hot Chili confirmed a second porphyry centre, La Verde South, about 30 km south of the Costa Fuego processing hub, near-doubling the growth potential of La Verde. Step-out RC hole DKP084, about 250 m south of La Verde's +0.4% Cu footprint, intersected 148 m grading 0.44% CuEq (0.39% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au) from 36 m, including 44 m at 0.56% CuEq from 138 m. Diamond hole DKD100, 100 m further south, visually recorded a 307 m interval of copper porphyry-style mineralisation and was still drilling at 347 m toward a planned 500 m. The maiden La Verde Mineral Resource Estimate, the revised Costa Fuego PFS and the EIA submission remain on track, with 4 drill rigs operating and assays pending for 25 holes.
