J.P. Morgan Asset Management projected a 10% compound annual return for Bitcoin over the next 10 to 15 years in its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, the first time the report includes the asset. That forecast tops its estimates for U.S. large-cap stocks (7.5%), gold (5.5%) and a 60/40 stock-bond portfolio (7%), but the report puts Bitcoin's annualized volatility at 55%, versus about 17% for gold. The firm still excludes Bitcoin from its main covariance matrices, citing volatility and unstable correlations, and rejected the currency debasement bull case as “wide of the mark.” Bitwise's Matt Hougan welcomed the forecast but argued the 55% volatility assumption is too high, making the return estimate too conservative. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $526.7 million on Monday, trimming October's net outflows to about $88 million.

- BlackRock Is Building a Bitcoin ETF for Investors Who Can't Stomach the Swings
On Oct. 19, BlackRock filed a preliminary prospectus with the SEC for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, ticker PBIT, which aims to deliver Bitcoin-linked gains up to a cap while cushioning some losses. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, the fund would use options on IBIT across three overlapping, roughly three-month tranches, buying a call struck near 90% of IBIT's starting price for the floor and selling a higher-strike call to cap upside, with Treasury bills held alongside. Each tranche's loss is capped at roughly 10% before fees, but BlackRock retains broad discretion to change terms, and the fee field is still blank. The filing could take effect as early as January 2027.
- Bitcoin ETFs Post Their Best Day in Nearly a Month as BlackRock Does All the Buying
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $526.7 million on Oct. 19, their largest single-day inflow since $714.7 million on Sept. 22, ending two weeks of selling that shed about $910 million. BlackRock's IBIT took in $665.2 million, while Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC lost $54.9 million, cutting October's net outflows to roughly $88 million from about $615 million. Ethereum ETFs lost $103 million and Solana ETFs $6.7 million the same day, while Bitcoin hovered near $82,000, close to the $82,300 average cost basis estimated for ETF holders. The article links the broader pressure to expected Federal Reserve rate hikes, citing a 3.7% CPI rise over 12 months, a 20.4% jump in energy prices, and a 10-year Treasury yield above 5% that competes with yield-free Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin's Next Move: Here's What to Watch
Bitcoin trades just below $83,000, above its 50-day EMA ($80,702.8) and 200-day EMA ($76,123.1), after total crypto market capitalization rose nearly 2% to $2.8 trillion on Tuesday. The RSI at 53.34 indicates neutral momentum with a slightly positive tilt. The nearest resistance is $87,371, which Bitcoin would need to close above on the daily chart to confirm a new upward move, while support sits at $80,433 and $76,140. The backdrop remains tense, with Brent crude near $110 a barrel amid attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and the Federal Reserve set to meet on Oct. 27–28.
- Bitcoin is stuck between $81 , 000 and $82 , 800 . Will the bulls or the bears breakout first ?
Bitcoin was rejected at resistance near $82,800 even as tech stocks bounced, slipping back toward support around $81,000 on the 1-hour chart. Bulls argue Bitcoin is coiling for a breakout: it held above $80,000 all weekend, last week's sell-off flushed out weak hands, and big tech earnings start on the 27th. Bears call the failure to clear $82,800 on a green tech day a red flag, pointing to a confirmed one-week red dot on Market Cipher B and a Nasdaq 100 in a downtrend since its October 6 all-time high. They also cite hot inflation, yields near multi-decade highs, a Fed still leaning toward a hike, and some banks calling for a drop to $50,000 before a rebound. The author's bias is sideways to bearish until a catalyst such as earnings, the midterms or FOMC shifts momentum.
- Strive closes $630M SATS IPO, leaves Bitcoin allocation unspecified
Strive, a Bitcoin treasury company led by chairman and CEO Matt Cole, closed its upsized IPO of SATS preferred stock on Oct. 20, raising $630 million gross by selling 7 million shares at $90 each. The company has not specified how much of the estimated $608.15 million in net proceeds will go to Bitcoin, though its SEC filing lists Bitcoin purchases among several possible uses. At an illustrative price of $82,500, full allocation would buy about 7,372 BTC, lifting holdings from 36,818 BTC to roughly 44,190 BTC, which would exceed Metaplanet's reported 44,000 BTC. SATS carry a 15% annual cumulative dividend on a $100 stated amount, payable when declared, with the first payments scheduled from Nov. 9.
- Google’s Quantum Breakthrough Puts Bitcoin in Trouble? Analyst Says Not Today, but ‘Gap Is Getting Smaller’
Market research platform Bull Theory said that progress in quantum computing has narrowed Bitcoin's (BTC) long-term security gap. However, no existing machine can currently threaten the network; the comments were made in an X post reacting to news involving Alphabet.

- Amazon vs Alphabet: Which "Magnificent Seven" Stock Is the Better Buy Right Now?
The article compares Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), two of the world's most valuable companies. Alphabet's valuation is around $4.1 trillion versus Amazon's $2.8 trillion, but Amazon's revenue over the past four quarters, $776 billion, is much larger than Alphabet's $446 billion. Alphabet generated $148 billion in operating profit at a 33% margin, while Amazon's operating margin averaged just 12% over the past 12 months. Amazon's forward P/E is nearly 24, above the S&P 500 average of 19, while Alphabet's is just under 22, and the author concludes Alphabet is the better buy.
- September 2026 Quarterly Results
Westgold (ASX: WGX) reported Q1 FY27 (quarter ended 30 September 2026) gold production of 98.4koz at an AISC of $2,912/oz, versus 98.9koz at $2,802/oz in Q4 FY26. The company recorded no lost time injuries, lifted ore stockpiles 51% to 696kt, and reaffirmed FY27 guidance of 385–425koz. An AISC margin of $3,117/oz delivered $292M in mine operating cash flow and an underlying Treasury build of $251M, lifting cash, bullion and liquid investments to $1,040M, and the company remains debt free and unhedged. Group Ore Reserves rose 41% to 4.1Moz, a $50M on-market buy-back was approved with $22M already bought, and a revised policy sets a minimum annual return of 3 cents per share.
- Elon Musk pushes to merge SpaceX and Tesla
Elon Musk said he wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla, two companies he said are worth a combined $3.5tn (£2.6tn). Both firms have set up committees of independent directors to study the idea at shareholders’ request, while Musk, who has major stakes in each, is excluded from the talks. He said there was “a lot of merit” to combining them, citing gains from co-operating on AI software, chip design, the TeraFab chipmaking plant and robotics, but cautioned that a merger should not be seen as a certainty because shareholders must support it. Tesla shares rose 1% after the announcement, while SpaceX shares gained more than 6% after better-than-expected quarterly results, with revenue up 161% to $14.6bn and a $4.4bn profit driven by its AI business.
- Pinterest Just Gained 20% in a Month: Take Profits, or Buy More?
Pinterest (PINS) shares rose 20% over the past month through Monday's close, outpacing the S&P 500's 0.6% gain and Snap's 13%. The stock fell in September after CEO Bill Ready warned about pressure in the international business, but it bottomed just above the roughly $18.17 average price of its buybacks and rallied in October. On Oct. 5, Pinterest named James Dibbo CFO, effective Oct. 26; he previously ran finance for Amazon Ads and Prime Video. At a forward P/E of 10.3x versus a five-year average of 24x, the author sees room for the multiple to rise if US and Canada growth stays near 18%, but warns that a miss on third-quarter revenue guidance of $1.19 billion to $1.21 billion could send the stock back toward the $18 buyback price.
- Why Dime Commercial Bancshares Stock Rocked the Market Today
Dime Commercial Bancshares (DCOM) shares rose about 6% on Tuesday, while the S&P 500 gained 0.3%, after the bank posted a solid third-quarter report and announced an acquisition. Total revenue climbed 19% year over year to over $135 million and deposits grew 7% to $12.8 billion, while loans edged down to under $10.8 billion. Non-GAAP attributable net income rose almost 50% to $39.1 million ($0.91 per share), and CEO Stuart Lubow pointed to $2.2 billion in cash and an 83% loan-to-deposit ratio as results of a deliberately liquid balance sheet. Dime agreed to buy ES Bancshares for about $58 million in cash and stock, strengthening its presence in Brooklyn and Staten Island, at roughly 1.1 times the target's tangible book value per share.
