The article says Bitcoin must rise about 58.8% from $79,401 to surpass its $126,080 record set on October 6, 2025, a move that implies a market value of about $2.53 trillion versus roughly $1.60 trillion today. The next halving is projected for 2028, after the April 2024 halving, when the peak came about 18 months later. Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold $104.7 billion in net assets and have seen $57.2 billion in cumulative net inflows as of October 23, while Strategy Inc. (MSTR) holds 848,517 BTC. The 10-year Treasury yield fell from 5.31% on October 5 to 4.96% on October 22, while the Fed's benchmark rate stayed at 4.00%. The article judges a new high before 2028 unlikely, with a more realistic range of $63,847 to $100,000, and a pessimistic case of a return to $63,847 if ETF outflows rise and the VIX stays above 20.

- Bitcoin Dips Below $80,000 Ahead of Fed Decision, Midterms
Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000, touching about $79,330 before recovering to $80,264, down 2.7% on the week according to CoinGecko. The dip followed a sell-off in tech stocks and caution ahead of the Fed's rate decision, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $773 million in net outflows on Thursday and Friday. Daniela Hathorn of Capital.com linked the pressure to persistent inflation, high Treasury yields and expectations of further Fed tightening, while Tim Sun of HashKey said outflows and unwinding leveraged positions amplified the decline. Tim Sun sees $75,000 as a key support level if prices fall further, while Stephen Wundke of Algoz says Bitcoin needs to hold $82,000 to support the bull case. Analysts expect volatility to stay elevated ahead of Wednesday's Fed decision and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.
- Bitcoin's Bear Market Is Over, Galaxy Research Says: 'Now Is an Attractive Time to Buy'
Galaxy's Alex Thorn argues Bitcoin bottomed in June and is now in an accumulation phase, calling it 'an attractive time to buy and hold bitcoin.' Bitcoin has closed five straight weeks above its 50-week average, and its market value never fell below its realized value, a first for any bear market. The latest 53% drawdown was the shallowest on record, versus 77% to 93% in past cycles, and spot Bitcoin ETFs have added 87,000 BTC since the June low. Thorn also points to $40.44 trillion in federal debt and a 10-year Treasury yield that hit 5.31%, its highest since 2007. His warning sign is a weekly close below the 50-week average, currently $76,540, that isn't regained within a month.
- Bitcoin holds near $80,000 as oil retreats and the Fed decision looms
Bitcoin was near $80,400, little changed since midnight UTC after dipping to around $79,300 during the Asian morning. The DeFi index was the only CoinDesk index to gain, after Arthur Hayes said his Maelstrom fund sold its entire directional book, including 6,400 ether, due to macro and geopolitical risk. U.S. crude fell around 2% to near $101 a barrel and Brent slipped to around $110 as Qatari mediators arrived in Tehran. The Fed, which raised rates in September, decides on Wednesday, with CME's FedWatch showing a 90% chance of no change. Spot bitcoin ETFs saw $138 million of outflows on Friday, taking the two-day exit to $772 million.
- Bitcoin ETFs break 2-week outflow streak with $301M comeback
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in net inflows of about $301 million last week, snapping a two-week outflow streak despite heavy late-week withdrawals. The funds drew $1.08 billion from Monday to Wednesday as Bitcoin hit a weekly high of $84,777, then saw about $774 million withdrawn on Thursday and Friday as BTC fell toward $80,000. DWF Labs said ETF investors have tended to sell into declines, finding net outflows in seven of eight Bitcoin sell-offs of at least 15% since launch in January 2024. At publication, Bitcoin traded at $80,025, while spot Ether ETFs recorded a fourth straight week of net outflows, about $221 million.
- Over 11 million bitcoin has no known owner. Here's what it means
Galaxy Research's October snapshot classified about 11.1 million BTC, roughly 55% of the roughly 20.1 million mined, as held in addresses it cannot link to any known entity. Galaxy's head of research, Alex Thorn, said this suggests self-custody remains widespread, while Xapo Bank argued it shows retail investors have been in bitcoin for over a decade. The article cautions that this unattributed pool may include lost coins, unidentified institutional holdings and coins spread across complex custody setups. The other 45% has names attached, including exchanges, BlackRock-led ETFs, the U.S. government and the largest named holder, 'Satoshi Nakamoto (Patoshi Pattern),' at 1,123,658 BTC.
- Bitcoin ETFs Snap Two-Week Losing Streak Despite Late-Week Slide
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $137.9 million in outflows on Friday but still finished the week up about $301 million, ending a two-week losing streak. For October, the Bitcoin funds remain down about $314 million, while Ethereum ETFs are down roughly $1.18 billion for the month. Bitcoin slipped 1.1% to about $80,490, and on the Myriad prediction market, the odds of Bitcoin dropping to $77,500 this month rose to 43%. The article links these moves to a midweek global selloff, when oil climbed above $111 a barrel and AI stocks slid.

- Vanguard's Growth ETF Usually Beats the Market After a Lagging Year. I'd Own It, but Not for a 2027 Rebound.
The Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (VUG) hit a record of $92.64 on Oct. 6 but has since fallen about 6% to roughly $87, while the S&P 500 is down less than 3% over the same period. The fund is up about 7% in 2026 versus about 11% for the index, and if the gap holds through December, it would be the first year since 2022 that it trails the S&P 500 on price alone. The fund holds a large share of its assets in its top 10 stocks, many of them tech companies, and several, including Tesla (down about 17%), are lagging this year. Rising interest rates also weigh on growth stocks, since their value depends on profits expected far in the future. The author notes the fund has beaten the S&P 500 in 16 of 21 years from 2005 to 2025, but says he would not rely on 2027 to erase this year's gap.
- Joby Aviation Stock Just Hit a 52-Week Low. History Says This Happens Next
Joby Aviation (JOBY) has fallen from about $13 at the start of 2026 to below $5, hovering near its 52-week low of about $4.40. Its first-ever coast-to-coast autonomous flight and its plan to acquire Resonant Sciences have done little to lift the shares this year, and the decline of similar stock Archer Aviation suggests waning enthusiasm for eVTOL companies. The article notes that past downturns were followed by sharp rebounds, such as in 2025, when a $250 million Toyota investment and other news pushed the stock above $10 and up to around $20 before valuation concerns pulled it back. The author argues investors now want to see actual bookings rather than announcements, and that a milestone such as FAA type certification could push the stock back into double digits. He says the stock may be worth a look for aggressive investors who can tolerate volatility.
- Stock Market Today, Oct. 26: AI Optimism Lifts Nasdaq as Tech Stocks Rebound
The S&P 500 gained 0.70% to 7,677, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.82% to 26,169, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.28% to 52,362 as AI optimism returned and oil prices fell. Gold rose 0.46% to $4,026.30 and the 10-Year Treasury yield rose 0.04% to 5%, with investors favoring Real Estate and Technology while Communication Services faced selling pressure. Anthropic filed its S-1 to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT," and its strong revenue growth figures eased fears that the AI boom was losing steam, helping revive tech stocks. Tesla rose over 5% after Barclays upgraded the stock to Overweight and raised its price target from $370 to $450, while Meta fell about 2% after disclosing plans to raise up to $95 billion for AI infrastructure. Investors are now looking ahead to Microsoft's earnings and the Federal Reserve's rate decision this week.
- Perpetua Resources Awarded Up to $40 Million in U.S. Army Funding to Advance Domestic Tungsten Supply for American Defense
Perpetua Resources (Nasdaq: PPTA; TSX: PPTA) received a new 36-month, $40 million award through the U.S. Army's Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium to assess producing tungsten concentrate at its Stibnite project in Idaho. The cost-share program will fund drilling to define a potential tungsten resource, metallurgical testing, and permitting and engineering for an exploration decline. Perpetua will match the Army's $40 million contribution, and the initial 18-month phase is expected to cost about $18 million, shared equally. The company notes there has been no commercial tungsten mining in the U.S. since 2015 and that recent Chinese export controls add to supply risk. With this award, total U.S. Government awards to Perpetua for critical minerals reach $126 million since 2022.
- Anthropic's IPO puts power in the hands of founders, giving everyday shareholders little voice
Anthropic’s IPO prospectus gives its seven co-founders control through “Founder LLC,” which will hold 50.1% of voting power and determine the outcome of all stockholder votes for the foreseeable future. The filing says this may limit investor influence and make unsolicited mergers or proxy contests less likely. The Long-Term Benefit Trust, set up in 2023, can elect and remove a board majority through a special class of Class T common stock. Anthropic is a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules and plans to list under the ticker “ANT,” and its filing includes more than 90 pages of risk factors. Bessemer Venture Partners, which backed the company at a $14 billion valuation, said investors are often comfortable with founder-led governance when leadership is strong.
- Boost Run stock surges on AI infrastructure deployment
Boost Run (NASDAQ: BRUN) shares rose 6.7% in after-hours trading on Monday after the company announced AI infrastructure deployments and more than $600 million in non-dilutive project financing closed year to date. The company delivered the first project phase to a leading AI research and product company under agreements signed in May 2026, deploying NVIDIA B300 GPUs with related network storage and CPU node services. In September it signed a five-year, $525.6 million AI cloud services agreement with a provider of enterprise AI models and solutions. The company says it has a fully funded runway through the fourth quarter of 2026, expects deployed colocation capacity to reach about 40 MW by year-end, and structures its project financing to be repaid before contracts end.
