However, that was short-lived, and the asset quickly tumbled by over two grand. The adverse price developments intensified as the week progressed, and BTC was close to breaking below $80,000 by Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Although it defended that level at first, the bears ultimately broke past it on Saturday when bitcoin tanked to a 5-week low of $79,100. It tried to rebound on Sunday but was halted at $81,000 and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/qnt-resumes-recent-bull-rally-with-16-surge-btc-fights-for-80k-market-watch\/\">dipped<\/a> below $80,000 on a couple more occasions.<\/p>\n<p>The beginning of the current business week didn\u2019t provide the necessary relief rally, and BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/a-perfect-storm-for-bitcoin-fed-pce-gdp-and-big-tech-earnings-ahead\/\">stood<\/a> below $80,000 for a while. Interestingly, it shot up earlier today to over $80,000, while the bulls initiated another leg up minutes ago to $81,650. Bitcoin remains at around $81,500 as of press time, but more volatility is <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/a-perfect-storm-for-bitcoin-fed-pce-gdp-and-big-tech-earnings-ahead\/\">expected<\/a> today after the conclusion of the FOMC meeting and the subsequent Kevin Warsh speech.<\/p>\n<p>For now, its market cap has risen to $1.630 trillion, while its dominance over the alts has reclaimed the 60% line on CMC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BTCUSD-October-28.png\"><\/a>BTCUSD October 28.
