Bitcoin Holds Steady as Altcoins Struggle With Market Uncertainty
Bitcoin traded in a range between $81,000 and $85,000 throughout the week, stabilizing after earlier volatility. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.08 billion in new money over three days, including $528 million in a single day, though net October outflows totaled $635 million as some investors took profits. As altcoins declined sharply, traders moved money into Bitcoin as a safer holding, approaching 60% Bitcoin dominance. Early Bitcoin investors moved significant holdings, with one whale transferring $34 million in coins purchased for just $131 each in 2013. Bitcoin rebounded above $82,000 when stock markets recovered, showing correlation with traditional assets. Despite near-term weakness from tech stock declines and AI concerns, institutional buying through ETFs suggests support at current price levels.
