- Bitcoin price threatens $77.7K support loss with recent buyers underwater
Bitcoin is trading below the $77,700 cost basis of investors who bought one to three months ago, with price around $76,500. CryptoQuant says this level could now act as resistance, as underwater holders may sell once price returns to breakeven. Short-term holders have a cost basis of $75,832 and an MVRV reading of 1.012, so a further drop would push them into a net loss. The next support zone is $68,400, equal to a 12% aggregate loss for the one-to-three-month cohort.

- Quantum fears already limiting Bitcoin’s growth, Stacks founder says
Stacks founder Muneeb Ali said quantum fears are already slowing institutional investment in Bitcoin, and the network needs a credible roadmap for security upgrades to restore confidence. He warned Bitcoin could face a riskier period if developers make no meaningful progress toward quantum-resistant security by 2028, and pointed to 2030, citing NIST guidance, as a transition target that AI advances could bring forward to 2029. Ali argued that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer would more likely come from a major research laboratory than from an unknown attacker, and that a hit on Bitcoin would affect the whole crypto industry. In September, StarkWare reported a 79% cut in the estimated computing cost of preparing an experimental quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction, though only in benchmark tests. StarkWare calls this a last-resort measure and still advocates a protocol-level upgrade.
- Coinbase Now Offers Fixed-Rate Bitcoin-Backed Loans. Here's What Crypto Investors Need to Know.
Coinbase has offered on-chain loans backed by Bitcoin since January 2025, allowing users to borrow USDC, and on Sept. 22 added fixed-rate versions through Morpho Midnight. These short-term loans must be repaid by the last Friday of the current or following month, and if they are not, the lender can claim the collateral; early repayment still means owing the same interest. Rates are set by supply and demand on an on-chain order book, and Coinbase has not disclosed specific levels. Variable-rate loans allow borrowing up to $5 million in USDC with no set term, while Coinbase has not clarified whether fixed-rate loans share the 75% initial LTV limit and 86% liquidation threshold. The article says these loans may suit short-term cash needs, but Bitcoin's volatility makes them riskier than loans backed by other collateral, and a drop of about 13% could hit the liquidation threshold at the full 75% limit.
- Weekly Wrap: Bitcoin Under Pressure As Market Volatility Intensifies
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain under pressure as technology stocks sell off over growing concerns about the AI trade, and the Nasdaq fell nearly 700 points, or 2.60%, on Oct. 22. Bitcoin was at $81,500 on Oct. 23, down 5% for October after gaining more than 40% in Q3, while crude oil traded above $115 per barrel. Strategy bought 267 BTC for $22.1 million, bringing its holdings to 848,517 BTC. Deposits in crypto lending vaults have topped $10 billion, more than double the $4 billion at the start of 2025. Visa is in talks to acquire Fireblocks for $2.5 billion, 69% below the $8 billion valuation applied in a January 2022 fundraise.
- Bitcoin reclaims its cloud as Altcoin reversal signals broaden
Bitcoin completed a daily close above the Cloud, returning to strong bullish mode, while altcoin reversal signals are broadening. Confirmation depends on the ticker and timeframe: ETH remains in daily bearish consolidation despite a four-hour Close Short, while ETH/BTC shows bullish consolidation. BTC dominance may print a daily bearish RSI reset that is not yet confirmed, and combined stablecoin dominance has closed below its daily Cloud and is now strong bearish. Several altcoins, including BNB, BCH, LTC, UNI, SUI and AAVE, have closed earlier Close Longs, but the article notes that closing a Close Long does not automatically mean a chart is in strong bullish mode.

- Montage Gold expects further resource growth at its Koné mine where the plant is already operating above nameplate
Montage Gold (TSX: MAU) said drilling results from its 2026 exploration program at the Koné mine in Côte d'Ivoire increase confidence in expanding resources at higher-grade satellite deposits, while new deposits are also being discovered. The mine poured its first gold on September 26, 2026, and commercial production is well on track to be declared in Q4-2026. In October, the plant processed approximately 880,000 tonnes from the oxide circuit, operating at an average of over 90% of its 11Mtpa nameplate capacity, with 104% achieved in the last week of October. The average processed head grade was 0.82 g/t Au with recovery of approximately 95%, yielding approximately 23,460 ounces over the month. Since the 2024 Feasibility Study, the company has drilled over 375,000 meters and delineated 12 deposits, compared with 2 in that study, while the higher-grade Gbongogo Main deposit is expected to ramp up in late Q4-2026.
