Bitcoin approached $82,000 on Wednesday, extending its rebound as bid liquidity built up around $79,000 and $80,000, while South Korea's KOSPI rose 6.6%. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson said most of the tech stock correction is already over, and CME Group's FedWatch showed 90.6% odds that the Fed would keep rates in the 3.75-4% range. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital said Bitcoin's weekly chart resembles the 2022 structure, with resistance near $82,000 still unbroken and the pair yet to discard a $60,000-$80,000 accumulation range.

- Bitcoin nears $81,000 ahead of Fed decision as ZEC jumps 8%
Bitcoin rose nearly 2% to just under $81,000 in Wednesday's Asian morning session, recovering from a weekend dip to nearly $79,000 as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Among major cryptocurrencies, ZEC led with an 8% jump to about $1,320, HYPE gained nearly 5%, and XRP and DOGE rose roughly 3%. Galaxy said Bitcoin's bear market likely ended in June, when it traded below $58,000, and that the asset is now in an accumulation phase, citing its return above the 50-week moving average, lighter selling pressure and rising U.S. debt. Traders will watch Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference for hints of a December rate hike, while a daily close above $82,500 could signal the recovery is gaining momentum.
- Bitcoin drops below $80,000 as crypto ignores Asian tech rally, Fed meeting begins
Bitcoin slipped to about $79,700, down 0.4% since midnight UTC, while ether fell 0.5%. Asian tech stocks rallied, with South Korea's Kospi up 3.1%, but crypto did not follow and the DeFi index dropped 1.8%. The Fed begins a two-day meeting with a rate decision due Wednesday, and CME's FedWatch tool shows around a 90% chance of no change. Across crypto futures, volume rose 18% to $152 billion over 24 hours, while U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $110 million on Monday.
- The Bitcoin Bull Market Is Finally Here, According to Strategy's Michael Saylor. Could Bitcoin Hit a Price of $100,000 in 2027?
Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, says the next Bitcoin bull cycle has already started, citing the 200-week moving average, which is $67,000 while Bitcoin trades around $80,000. The article notes Bitcoin lacks clear catalysts after the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act failed to pass in September, while oil prices, inflation and Treasury yields are rising and the Fed looks likely to raise rates. Saylor did not set a specific price target for 2027 but sees a high likelihood of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 within the next 12 months. Bitcoin's all-time high is $126,000 from October 2025, Bernstein still targets $150,000, and some investors still expect $200,000 next year.
- Bitcoin Drops Below $80,000
Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 around midday Vietnam time, down nearly 2% over 24 hours, and at one point dipped to $79,300 before buyers offered some support. Investors cut risk ahead of this week's Fed meeting and an Asian AI-linked tech stock selloff, pushing most major cryptocurrencies lower: Ether fell nearly 3% to below $2,300, XRP dropped to $1.28 and Solana hovered near $100. BTSE's Jeff Mei said the key is how strongly the Fed chair signals a possible rate hike in December, as record-high oil prices, escalating US-Iran tensions and inflation could push the Fed toward a firmer message. CoinDesk analysts said Bitcoin needs to recover $82,500, a level it lost last weekend, for buyers to treat the drop as a temporary correction.
- Bitcoin Trades Below $80,000 Ahead of Fed Oct. 27-28 Meeting
Bitcoin traded at $79,954 at 2:41 a.m. ET on Monday, down 0.67% over 24 hours and below $80,000 ahead of the Fed's Oct. 27-28 meeting. The Fed's September minutes, published Oct. 7 and covering the Sept. 15-16 session, showed most participants thought another rate increase was possible before year-end, though they did not tie this to a specific meeting. The next Fed meeting after this week's session is Dec. 8-9, when updated economic projections are scheduled.
- Bitcoin slips under $80,000 as traders de-risk ahead of Fed meeting
Bitcoin fell nearly 2% to about $79,800 on Monday morning in Asia as traders cut risk ahead of this week's Federal Reserve meeting. Ether dropped nearly 3% to just above $2,300, XRP lost about 3% to $1.28, and SOL slid 2% while barely holding $100; TRX was the only major token in the green, up less than 1%, according to CoinDesk data. Investors are watching Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference for signs of a possible December rate hike, which could tighten liquidity for crypto and stocks. Asian tech stocks kept falling: South Korea's Kospi dropped 1% after Goldman Sachs cut its 12-month target for the index by 25%, and Brent crude fell 2% to about $114 a barrel. Bitcoin needs to regain $82,500 before buyers can treat the dip as a pause.

- Live updates: Bitcoin climbs above $81,000 as majors rally ahead of Fed decision
Bitcoin rose 2% to just above $81,000 on Wednesday Asian morning, recovering from Monday's dip below $80,000 as traders positioned for the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Most major tokens also gained: HYPE jumped nearly 6% to just above $81, ZEC added 5% to about $1,300, DOGE rose 4%, and BNB and SOL each gained about 3%. Ether climbed 2% to about $2,360, XRP rose 3% to $1.32, and TRX gained about 1%. The bounce follows a Galaxy note saying now is the time to accumulate bitcoin, with its head of firmwide research, Alex Thorn, saying the bear market likely ended in June, when bitcoin traded under $58,000. The bigger test comes when Fed Chair Kevin Warsh holds his press conference, as traders look for any hint of a December rate hike that would make borrowing costlier and tends to pull money from riskier assets like crypto.
- Tesla's Free Cash Flow Just Turned Positive. Here's Why That's Only Half the Story.
Tesla reported $1.53 billion in third-quarter free cash flow, a swing from the $1.09 billion deficit in the prior quarter, but the figure fell 62% from a year earlier. The improvement came mainly from capital expenditure of $4.73 billion, well below analysts' expected $7.77 billion, rather than from stronger profits. Operating income fell 56% year over year to $718 million, and net income attributable to common shareholders dropped 43% to $787 million. CFO Vaibhav Taneja cut the 2026 capex outlook to about $20 billion from more than $25 billion, yet nine-month spending of $13.01 billion already more than doubled the prior-year level, requiring about $7 billion more in the fourth quarter. Tesla continues spending on AI, Optimus robots, Cybercab production and semiconductors, and has secured $30 billion in extra borrowing capacity that management does not expect to draw in 2026.
- Meta’s $25 Billion Stock Sale Drew Five Times the Demand
Meta priced 40,000,000 Class A shares at $625 on October 26, raising $25.0 billion, up from the $22.5 billion planned, after investors placed orders for about five times the shares offered. The stock then fell 1.64% to $620.19 on October 27, below the price buyers paid. NVIDIA committed $3 billion as Meta expands its Vera Rubin deployment, and AMD, whose Helios systems are installed at Meta, committed $1 billion; the article notes both deals are partly vendor financing. The offering combines common shares sold through forward agreements, settling by November 19, 2027, with $12.5 billion of 6.50% mandatory convertible preferred depositary shares, for a $37.5 billion underwritten total. The sale followed free cash flow turning negative for the first time since 2012, after nearly $34 billion in capex against almost $33 billion in cash generation, and the 15 largest investors took about 70% of the deal.
- Tesla Closed Up 4% at $407. Here’s What a SpaceX Merger Could Mean for Your Shares.
Tesla closed up 4% at $407.46 on October 27 amid merger speculation. Elon Musk said the special committees of both companies have not agreed on terms, though he called a combination with SpaceX 'a good idea', and Tesla would need a 50% vote of all shares. SpaceX is the larger partner, with a market cap of about $1.96T against roughly $1.61T for Tesla, and Barclays upgraded Tesla on October 26, calling a merger a key part of the bull case. Critic Scott Galloway called the deal a 'real merger with a fake premise', arguing SpaceX's growth could be used to prop up Tesla's valuation. Premium estimates near $500 from Stocktwits and JPMorgan are only estimates, and nobody has made an offer.
- Mortgage rates fell for the second straight week, but more borrowers still sought savings in riskier loans
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate for conforming loans (up to $832,750) fell to 7.37% from 7.41%, and total mortgage applications rose 3.4% last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinance applications were still 61% lower than a year earlier, as about half of borrowers have rates below 4%, while purchase applications rose 4% but were 18% below last year. The ARM share of applications climbed to 11.3%, the highest in more than a year, and the 5/1 ARM rate eased to 6.41%; ARMs are seen as riskier because they adjust to market rates when the fixed term ends. Potential buyers remain worried about the broader economy, and some agents say buyers are waiting for the midterm election results.
- Google alters its cloud playbook, enlisting partners to sell more AI chips
Alphabet said Oracle will offer Google's TPUs, the first time customers can access them outside Google's infrastructure. Analysts expect Google Cloud revenue to jump about 90% from a year earlier, after 82% growth in the second quarter, when Google Cloud revenue was $25 billion versus $42 billion at AWS and $29 billion at Microsoft Azure. Anthropic agreed to use up to 1 million TPUs in a deal worth tens of billions of dollars, and CNBC confirmed OpenAI is also planning to buy TPUs. Broadcom detailed a $63 billion vehicle backed by Blackstone and three big banks to buy TPUs and lease them to Anthropic for five years. TD Cowen estimates a 20% operating margin on TPU sales, compared with about 35% for overall cloud margin last quarter.
