Bitcoin’s ‘Uptober’ Goes Bust With Worst October Finish Since 2014

Bitcoin’s celebrated “Uptober” tradition suffered another setback in 2026, with the leading crypto asset closing October down 7.32% against the greenback, its weakest performance for the month since 2014. Over the past seven days, BTC traded between $76,337 and $81,840 as the major $6.3 billion Binance hack rattled markets. The decline also marked bitcoin’s first consecutive October losses since 2011 and 2012, raising questions about November’s prospects. Bitcoin’s famous “Uptober” rally never showed up for its 2026 appointment. Instead, the cryptocurrency closed October with a 7.32% decline , delivering its worst performance for the month in 12 years and fourth-worst October in recorded trading history. The final week proved particularly punishing, with BTC changing hands between $76,337 and $81,840 as the $6.3 billion Binance hack jolted an already nervous market.
