Bitcoin Today (28/10): Fed Holds Rates, BTC Holds US$ 80k and Bitwise Projects US$ 1.6M
₿ BITCOIN NOW — 28/10/2026 BTC: US$ 80.519 | 24h: +0.10% | 24h High: US$ 81.636 | 24h Low: US$ 80.360 (CoinGecko, late afternoon) The day was dominated by the Federal Reserve's decision to keep rates unchanged, and Bitcoin oscillated between US$ 80k and US$ 81.6k, practically stable over the last 24 hours. The month remains negative, with BTC heading toward the second consecutive "red October." 📰 WHAT HAPPENED TODAY 1. Fed Holds Rates at 3.75%–4.00% The Federal Reserve kept the base rate unchanged in a 10-2 vote decision, as the market had already expected. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said the committee wants more data before defining next steps; after the press conference, the CME FedWatch began indicating around 86% chance of a 0.25 point INCREASE in December. 💡 Why it matters: higher rates tend to pressure risk assets like Bitcoin, and the signaling of a possible increase in December keeps the market cautious.

Bitwise Raises BTC Projection to US$ 1.6 Million by 2036 Asset manager Bitwise raised its long-term projection from US$ 1.3 million to US$ 1.6 million per BTC in 2036, estimating annualized return of 34.3% and potential institutional demand of US$ 1.5 to 7 trillion. Worth noting: this is a projection from the manager, not a fact. 💡 Why it matters: shows that major asset managers continue to treat Bitcoin as a long-term asset, even after the recent decline.

Strategy Approves Daily Dividends on Preferred Shares Shareholders of Strategy, Michael Saylor's company, approved with 99.3% of votes the change of preferred shares to daily dividends. STRC, which yields 12% per year, moved closer again to the US$ 100 face value level — the point at which the company can resume issuing shares to buy more bitcoin. 💡 Why it matters: Strategy is the largest corporate holder of BTC, and its fundraising capacity influences institutional demand.

October Heads Toward Second Consecutive "Red October" BTC has accumulated a decline of around 4% in the month and touched US$ 79.145 on Saturday, with nearly US$ 150 million in long positions liquidated in two hours. Relevant resistance remains in the US$ 87k range. On the positive side, spot ETFs closed last week with net inflow of US$ 301 million, breaking two weeks of outflows. 💡 Why it matters: October is historically positive for BTC ("Uptober"); two consecutive years of decline mark a cycle different from previous ones.
