Bitcoin news for October 15, 2026
Bitcoin went through volatile trading that included a drop toward $81,300 support amid nearly $1 billion in crypto liquidations and shifting ETF flows, first showing around $150M in outflows led by BlackRock and later a $176M rebound led by Fidelity and BlackRock. The moves were linked in headlines to Fed hike odds around 55% and CPI positioning, with Bitcoin recovering from the ride and edging higher while altcoins such as ZEC and NEAR dropped sharply.
