- Bitcoin Price Analysis : Recent Buyers Break Even Near $87 , 700 . Could Their Selling Stop BTC Rally ?
Bitcoin has failed three times to break the $87,700 resistance zone, and the current price of $83,495 sits about 5% below the average cost basis of recent buyers, according to Glassnode. Those holders have been underwater for weeks, so many may sell if the price returns to that level, although the average hides a wide range of purchase prices and misses off-exchange trading and ETF custody activity. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows of $526.6 million on October 19 but only $23.2 million on October 20, and a $999 million inflow on September 21 did not carry Bitcoin past the zone. K33 expects bigger price swings ahead of the Fed's next rate decision and the November 3 midterms, as Bitcoin volatility nears yearly lows at 1.2%.
- Bitcoin Bounces, But Where Does It Go Next? Here's What the Charts Say
Bitcoin rebounded to $82,295, up 1.28% in 24 hours, after dipping below $80,000 on Thursday for the first time in over a month, while Ethereum rose 4.17%, Solana 3.02%, and Zcash 10.29%. According to CoinGlass, Thursday's drop triggered $948 million in liquidations, 90.6% of them long positions. On the daily chart, Bitcoin is hugging resistance at $81,603, with the RSI at 48.9 and the 200-day EMA at $75,759. Myriad prediction market odds for Bitcoin reaching $87,500 in October fell to 31% from 45% on Tuesday, while traders assign a 43% chance of a drop to $77,500. The article outlines a bullish scenario if price closes above $84,246, a bearish one if it closes below $81,603, and a sideways range between $80,365 and $84,246.
- Bitcoin may seek 20-month trend line reclaim before new record highs: CryptoQuant
CryptoQuant says Bitcoin could set new all-time highs if it breaks above its 20-month moving average at $87,165, a level it lost in December 2025. Its market cycle signals tool shows BTC moving to reclaim this “inflection frontier,” while its bull-bear cycle indicator still places Bitcoin in a bull market. That indicator rose to 0.186 from 0.042 in August, and CEO Ki Young Ju said in late August that the bear market was “over.” XWIN Research Japan flagged on-chain data pointing to “cautious optimism” for bullish momentum through the end of October.
- Dogecoin ( DOGE ) Is Nearing Its First Death Cross of 2026 . What Happened After the Last One ?
Dogecoin (DOGE) is nearing its first daily death cross of 2026, a signal that the 50-day average is falling below the 200-day average and that short-term momentum has weakened. As of October 16, DOGE traded around $0.0806, about 9% below its 50-day average of roughly $0.0882. The previous death cross in November 2025 was followed by nearly a year of losses, and rising interest rates along with a supply of about 156.4 billion coins with no cap add further pressure. Whales have bought about 600 million DOGE since October 12, and one analyst sees support near $0.081 with a target of $0.16 to $0.17, though U.S. funds made no new DOGE investments in October.
- Third-quarter U.S. GDP increases a better-than-expected 3.4% as September inflation accelerates
The Commerce Department reported that U.S. GDP grew at a seasonally adjusted annualized pace of 3.4% in the third quarter, above the 3.1% estimate and well up from 2.2% in the second quarter. Consumer spending rose 0.5%, slightly below the forecast of 0.6%, while personal income increased 0.2% against a forecast of 0.3%. The same day, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose 0.5% in September from the prior month, lifting annual inflation to 3.6%; the monthly rate matched the Dow Jones consensus, while the annual rate was 0.1 percentage point below consensus. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.3% monthly and 3.1% annually, in line with consensus. A day earlier, the Fed held its benchmark rate in a 3.75%-4% range, and Chairman Kevin Warsh said officials want to assess incoming data before deciding their next move.
- Inflation surges, PCE shows. Fed pause on rate hikes unlikely to last long with prices still rising.

- Minister of Agriculture and Environment: No abuse of land recovery
Minister of Agriculture and Environment Trịnh Việt Hùng said land recovery under the draft amended Land Law must be strictly controlled, not abused, and not hinder project implementation. The draft shifts from compensating recovered assets to rebuilding people's lives, and requires each land plot to have a unique nationwide identifier. Land price tables and price adjustment coefficients issued by provincial People's Councils will apply from 1/1/2028, and the government proposes continuing the pilot for transferring land-use rights for commercial housing under Resolution 171/2024/QH15 rather than codifying it now. Nationwide there are about 105 million land plots, over 70 million with data and nearly 44 million connected, and the government has assigned the ministry to complete the land database in 2026.
- Microsoft seeks at least $25 billion in first bond sale since 2017
Microsoft is seeking at least $25 billion through a U.S. bond offering of 10 tranches with maturities from two to 40 years, returning to the investment-grade market for the first time in more than nine years. Its last high-grade issuance, in 2017, raised $17 billion, and proceeds will fund general corporate purposes such as capital expenditures, working capital, share repurchases, acquisitions and debt repayment. The sale follows a fiscal first-quarter earnings report showing strong cloud growth, as major technology companies increase spending on AI infrastructure. Initial price guidance ranges from 50 to 55 basis points over Treasuries for the two-year notes to 130 to 135 basis points for the 40-year bonds due 2066.
- One Magnificent Seven Stock Could Deliver Outsized Returns. Here's the Math
The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a 12-month price target of $421.17 for Alphabet (GOOG), implying 34.05% upside from a $314.19 baseline, with a 70% confidence score. Cloud revenue rose 82% to $24.8 billion in the second quarter, backlog reached $514 billion, and cloud operating margin widened from 20.7% to 35.6% over a year. Against that, capex doubled to $44.92 billion, pushing free cash flow to -$5.86 billion, long-term debt rose from $46.5 billion to $98.2 billion, buybacks were suspended, and a $40 billion at-the-market program raises dilution risk. Shares fell 6.58% over the past week and trade at about 13 times trailing earnings, between a 52-week low of $266.47 and a high of $403.96. The bull case reaches $442.49 and the bear case $366.77, which still implies a 16.73% gain.
- Morning Minute: Hedge Funds Left the BTC ETF Trade and Sovereign Wealth Stepped In
Decrypt's Morning Minute examines why hedge funds exited the bitcoin ETF trade while sovereign wealth funds and wealth managers bought. Citing SEC filings, the newsletter says nine hedge funds and banks, including Millennium, Brevan Howard and Goldman Sachs, sold about 68,000 bitcoin worth of ETF shares from the October 2025 high through June, roughly $5.4 billion at current prices. The main driver was shrinking returns on the ETF-futures trade: its annualized spread fell from 7.9% before the high to 4.8% by late October, and Galaxy's Alex Thorn estimates only about 1.5 points remain over T-bills after fees and financing. Morgan Stanley's wealth management arm, Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Council bought, while investors too small to file cut holdings by just 6.6% as the price fell 49%. Funds have since added about 87,000 bitcoin, and October ETF flows were nearly flat by Tuesday, with $724 million arriving in the last eight sessions.
- Unlimit founder backs Phase blockchain with $45M as mainnet launches
Phase, a new blockchain, lets smartphone users earn PHASE tokens by validating transactions and sharing internet connections with AI agents through its Phase Proxy service, which launched alongside the chain. Unlimit founder Kirill Eves has committed $45 million, covering the first two years of development with another two years of runway, and the company says it has no outside investors. Eves argues that websites often block automated traffic from data centers, so agents need connections from consumer devices, and current flagship smartphones can deliver approximately 35–45 TOPS of AI processing. Phase plans AI computing and multi-model routing services in November, and part of their revenue will buy PHASE on the open market to reward node operators.
- HTX agrees to halt unlawful UK crypto promotions after FCA case
Crypto exchange HTX (formerly Huobi) has agreed to stop unlawfully promoting its services to UK consumers under a settlement with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), announced Thursday. The exchange no longer accepts deposits from UK customers or allows new UK users to sign up. Huobi Global S.A., the company behind HTX, promised the High Court it would not knowingly run illegal promotions until Oct. 21, 2031, without admitting liability or wrongdoing. It is the FCA's first enforcement action against a crypto firm over illegal marketing, and it follows separate UK and EU sanctions on HTX.
