According to TradingView, BTC/USD traded near $82,134 on October 16, 2026, staying above $77,000.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of about $540 million from October 1 to 14, including roughly $262 million on October 14. Bitcoin futures open interest fell to about $52 billion from around $62 billion a month earlier, and the Coinbase spot premium has been negative since September 26.
On the technical side, the price formed a double-top with a neckline near $82,300. TradingView analysts point to support near $80,000 and resistance around $88,000, where short liquidations are concentrated. The initial drop triggered about $930 million in liquidations, of which roughly $780 million were long positions.
