- Live updates: Bitcoin back above $82,000, ZEC jumps 11% as ETF outflows continue
Bitcoin climbed back above $82,000 on Friday after briefly dropping under $80,000 the day before, as ZEC led a broad crypto rebound with an 11% jump to about $1,230. The rally did not extend to ETFs: the U.S. spot ZEC fund lost about $15 million on Thursday, its fifth outflow this month, while ether funds shed about $60 million and SOL funds lost nearly $10 million, their ninth straight day of withdrawals. SOL and ether each gained more than 3%, to about $106 and $2,450, while bitcoin ETFs drew a net $5 million, a thin inflow after Wednesday's $261 million exit. The article says a second straight day of bitcoin ETF inflows would be the first sign that the bounce from $80,000 has buyers behind it.

- Stock Market Today Live Updates : Dalal Street opens in red as BSE Sensex tumbles 200 points , NSE Nifty50 trades below 23 , 000
Indian stocks rose in morning trade on Friday, with the BSE Sensex up 352.31 points, or 0.47%, to 74,667.92 and IT stocks leading the gains; Tech Mahindra climbed 7.44% and Infosys advanced 4.36%. The rally followed a strong Thursday, when the Sensex surged 2.11% and the Nifty50 gained 1.66%, their biggest single-day gains in four months, supported by a rebound in global AI-related trading and lower US Treasury yields. The Securities and Exchange Board of India reversed its plan to settle expiring derivatives using the closing auction session, and will instead use volume-weighted average prices from the final 30 minutes of regular trading. Foreign investors have sold Indian shares, with year-to-date outflows of $32.8 billion, while crude oil prices remain elevated amid Middle East tensions. Investors are watching global technology stocks, interest-rate expectations, oil prices and the impact of the revised settlement mechanism.
- Live updates: Bitcoin back under $81,000 as AI selloff worsens
Bitcoin slipped below $81,000 after a hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation report, with core inflation at 2.6% against a 2.5% forecast. It had briefly reached nearly $84,000 on Wednesday before sliding to about $80,400 early Thursday, down 2.6% over 24 hours. A hot print raises the chance of another Federal Reserve rate hike at its Oct. 27–28 meeting, which tends to strengthen the dollar and weigh on assets like bitcoin. AI stocks added pressure, with Nasdaq 100 futures down 1.2% after Anthropic said its third-quarter revenue grew $16.8 billion, a figure that showed growth slowing. ZEC fell 11% to about $1,100 and Ether dropped 5% to about $2,370, while U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs lost about $261 million on Wednesday; a daily close below $80,400 would break a floor buyers have defended twice since last Thursday.
- Live updates: Bitcoin tumbles from near $84,000 ahead of U.S. inflation data
Bitcoin dropped back from a brief spike to $84,000 early Wednesday and was down 0.5% at about $83,200. It remains boxed between its 50-day moving average near $81,000 and the $84,000 ceiling, as buyers held the $81,000 area on Tuesday but have not pushed above $84,000 since. Among major cryptocurrencies, ZEC and TRX rose about 1%, HYPE fell 2% to about $81, SOL dropped 1.4% and ether slipped 1% to just under $2,500. FxPro's Alex Kuptsikevich said caution in the Nasdaq 100 is preventing bitcoin from gaining ground, while forecasts point to a slowdown in underlying prices in the September U.S. inflation report.

- Pfizer's Stock Is Finally Showing Signs of Life. Could This Be the Start of a Much Bigger Rally?
Pfizer shares are up 18% this year, shaping up as their best year since 2021, when they rose more than 60%. The stock remains down around 30% over five years. The author says money may be rotating from tech into healthcare, citing two unnamed ETFs. Pfizer's 5.8% yield is one of the highest on the S&P 500, more than five times the index's 1% average. Its trailing P/E of 37 is inflated by restructuring and impairment charges, while its forward P/E is around 10, which the author argues shows the stock is still undervalued.
