Bitcoin Now 19/10: BTC Returns to US$ 82k with China GDP and Oil Relief
₿ BITCOIN NOW — 19/10/2026 BTC: ~US$ 82,500 | 24h: around +1.3% | 24h High: n/a | 24h Low: n/a (the sources consulted did not report high and low; today's quotes ranged between ~US$ 81,900 and ~US$ 83,000) Bitcoin recovered and returned to hovering around US$ 82-83k, driven by China's GDP beating expectations and the drop in oil, which improved risk appetite. In the background, American inflation at 3.7% and outflows of over US$ 600 million from spot ETFs in October continue to weigh. The Fed's next decision comes on October 28. 📰 WHAT HAPPENED TODAY 1. BTC rises with China's GDP and oil pullback China's economy grew 4.5% in the 3rd quarter, above forecast, and Brent fell around 2%. Asian exchanges and Nasdaq futures rose, and BTC followed, reaching close to US$ 83k overnight. 💡 Why it matters: shows BTC trading alongside risk assets and sensitive to the macro scenario.

Microsoft cancels AI contract with Nscale, company born from Bitcoin mining Microsoft abandoned an Nscale data center near London because the local power grid may not have capacity before the 2030s. The facility would provide 50 MW to Azure starting in 2027. 💡 Why it matters: exposes energy bottlenecks and high costs of Bitcoin miners' migration to AI; public miners have already reduced their cash by over 15,000 BTC to finance these expansions.

Historically, however, the signal was correct only about 50% of the time on the stock. 💡 Why it matters: the largest corporate holder of BTC is seen as a barometer of institutional appetite.
