Bitcoin at $81,500: Bulls and Bears in a Standoff
Bitcoin is trading around $81,500 on Saturday, October 17, 2026, caught in a notable technical standoff where short-term bearish moving averages clash with a significantly healthier long-term structure.
With a market cap of roughly $1.639 trillion, daily trading volume of $13.967 billion, and a 24-hour range of $81,108.80 to $81,733.01, the market has settled into a narrow consolidation phase, leaving traders to decide whether the latest accumulation is the start of a recovery or just a pause before support gets tested again.

#美国9月PPI大超预期
My 83626 short, current price 81382.4, with a large unrealized profit. 82057 will determine direction.
Market: The 4H chart pulled back from 84340, bounced weakly after bottoming at 79732.3, and is now at 81382.4 (down 0.21% over 24h). MA5 (81277.8) and MA10 (81367.6) are intertwined near the current price, while MA30 (82057.7) continues to trend down and cap price. The overall bearish trend continues, with weak, choppy trading.
P&L calculation: 83626 - 81382.4 = a 2243.6-point price difference; the large unrealized profit continues to grow.
Key levels: Support 80751/79732, resis

BTC’s battle to defend 80,000 goes into overtime after Warsh’s remarks

Before Warsh’s remarks, BTC seesawed between 80,443 and 82,000. After he began speaking, the price saw no sharp moves—because there were no unexpectedly hawkish or dovish signals. As I write this post, BTC is hovering around 80,800.

Why is the 80,000 level so important? I looked at a few data points.

The first is the ETF cost basis. The average cost basis for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs is around $81,500. BTC has fallen below this level, meaning most investors who bought through ETFs are now at a loss. If the price stays b

In a recent interview, Justin Sun explicitly said he was “more bearish on BTC,” citing AI and quantum computing. He thinks AI algorithms could pose a serious threat to elliptic curve cryptography within 1 to 1.5 years, turning the 2 million BTC whose private keys have been lost into potential selling pressure. Interestingly, though he says he’s bearish, he hasn’t reduced his core holdings at all; he has only moved them into a new, never-before-used cold wallet for isolation. This shows he’s warning about tail risks in an extreme scenario, not telling you to liquidate now.
As for “you should li
