Bitcoin Holds Near $80,000 as Prediction Markets Flag $78K Risk

  • —BTC near $80,100, down 3–4% on the week and 36% below its October 2025 peak
  • —US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw roughly $635 million in outflows on Oct. 22
  • —A brief break below $80,000 triggered over $800 million in liquidations, mostly longs
  • —Kalshi odds point to a possible $78,000 test this month
Why it matters: Holding $80,000 will decide whether the pullback extends toward $75–78K or the market recovers toward $82K.
