Bitcoin today (24/10): BTC falls below US$ 80k with liquidations and strong ETF outflows
₿ BITCOIN NOW — 24/10/2026 BTC: US$ 80.475 | 24h: -1.1% | 24h High: US$ 81.416 | 24h Low: US$ 79.263 Bitcoin fell below US$ 80k for the first time since October 15, pressured by leveraged liquidations and ETF outflows, before recovering part of the losses. The mood is cautious ahead of the Fed meeting (27 and 28/10) and US midterm elections. 📰 WHAT HAPPENED TODAY 1. BTC breaks US$ 80k with wave of liquidations The drop to US$ 79.3k liquidated around US$ 436 million in positions in 4 hours, mostly long positions. Analysts describe it as a technical move, with no single confirmed catalyst. 💡 Why it matters: cascading liquidations amplify declines and reveal excessive leverage.

Bitcoin ETFs see US$ 773 million in outflows in two days There were US$ 635 million on the 22nd (largest daily outflow since June) and US$ 138 million on the 23rd, with IBIT and FBTC leading. For the week, the flow remains positive at US$ 228 million. 💡 Why it matters: ETFs are the main barometer of institutional demand. Source: U.Today (SoSoValue data) 3.
