Bitcoin stuck below $82,000 as altcoins bleed, some down 30% this year
- —BTC at $81,382: -1.6% on the day, -2.9% on the week, -7% year to date
- —Ethereum at $2,382 (-20% YTD), SOL -16%, XRP down almost 30%
- —Total crypto market cap near $2.74 trillion; Fear and Greed index at 49
- —Liquidations: $487 million on Oct 7 and another $771 million on Oct 12-13
Why it matters: Without a reclaim of $84,000 and fresh ETF inflows, pressure on BTC and altcoins persists, and a break of $80,000 opens the door to $76,000.
