Bitcoin news for October 14, 2026
Bitcoin dropped below $82K amid about $774 million in leveraged positions being unwound across crypto, with most of the pressure concentrated on optimistic bets. The move coincided with ETF capital outflows, including $150M linked to BlackRock, a stronger dollar, and positioning around CPI. Despite the volatility that also hit tokens like ZEC and NEAR, Bitcoin later edged higher as the market stabilized.
