Bitcoin Slips 2% in October Despite Historically Bullish 'Uptober'

  • —Bitcoin is down 2% in October, trading near $82,393
  • —U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw $228.4 million in outflows last week
  • —Bitcoin posted its best quarter since 2024 in Q3
  • —The August rally followed Treasury's plan to more than double debt buybacks
Why it matters: ETF outflows and a weak October start suggest U.S. demand remains fragile, and seasonal tailwinds alone may not keep BTC above $80,000.
