Bitcoin trades near $82,800 as ETF outflows and Fed policy shape 2026 outlook

Bitcoin began to show signs of recovery in October, trading near $82,800 on October 19 and reaching its highest price in five days. This follows a rebound from last week’s dip toward $80,000 and caps a turbulent year in which Bitcoin’s price fell to around $58,000 before rising about 43% in the third quarter. Despite the recent rebound, Bitcoin remains approximately 34% below its all-time high near $126,000 set in October 2025. With less than three months left in 2026, investors are considering whether the cryptocurrency could mount a further rally or whether the primary gains for the year have already occurred. Coinbase Institutional, the professional arm of the major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, released its fourth-quarter outlook on October 7.
