Bitcoin slides to $81.5K after hot CPI, with $80K–81.5K seen as key support

  • —BTC holds above the average ETF purchase price of about $81,500
  • —The $88,000 level, the two-year investor cost basis, twice capped rallies in 2026
  • —The largest cluster of bids on Binance sits near $80,000
  • —US spot ETFs have turned back into net sellers after late-September inflows faded
Why it matters: Holding the $80,000–81,500 zone will determine whether the rally resumes or the market tips back into a bear phase.
