Bitcoin holds near $82K after inflation data and Warsh remarks: Oct 18, 2026
Bitcoin slipped to monthly lows below $80K on hot US inflation data and comments from Fed pick Warsh, later steadying around $82K when Warsh avoided rate-hike hints. Whale wallets hit a record as institutional support faded and Glassnode flagged the $80K level as eroding, with TradFi developments involving Deutsche Bank, Charles Schwab and MSCI plus the approaching US midterms adding context.
