Whale holdings have reached their highest level since November 2025, while large borrowers are taking on more debt backed by Bitcoin.

Ethereum has taken the spotlight in crypto markets while Bitcoin slid more than 9% and repeatedly stalled at $87,000, and XRP struggled to reclaim $1.40. Analysts set a long-term target of $15,000 for ETH in the current bull cycle, flagging the $1,600 to $2,000 range as a potential reaccumulation zone with intermediate targets at $3,270, $4,892 and $10,000. Spot Ethereum ETFs drew $24.84 million in net inflows on October 13, their only positive day in October so far, led by $16.3 million into Grayscale's Ethereum fund and $8.11 million into Fidelity's Ethereum fund.

Bitcoin whale addresses have resumed accumulation after more than a year of selling and now hold 3.03 million BTC, their highest level since November 2025, according to CryptoQuant. The shift from selling to buying signals an "early bull phase" and improving investor sentiment. Bitcoin was trading near $83,045, largely unchanged on the day.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded near $82,400, down about 0.7% over 24 hours and 4.2% over the past week. The token briefly touched $84,249 before giving back those gains and trades 34.7% below its October 2025 record high of $126,200. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $678.9 million last week, the largest weekly withdrawal since June. The market sentiment index read 55, a neutral level, with prices under pressure ahead of the CPI release.

Bitcoin is trading above $83,000 and the Fear and Greed Index has climbed to 68, leaving market sentiment in 'Greed' for a month. The rally is fragile inside: US spot Bitcoin ETF net inflows picked up sharply from mid-September, lifting the price from below $80,000 to about $87,000. On October 8 the funds posted $484.9 million in single-day net outflows, the largest since June, quickly reversing the flow. Ethereum ETF and Bitcoin ETF flows have diverged markedly, a sign that the recovery in risk appetite is uneven.

Chainlink traded near $13.34 on Monday, extending its rebound from Thursday's $12.09 low. Buyers are pushing toward resistance at $13.50, with a breakout opening the way to $13.93; initial support sits at $13.32 and $12.95. LINK-focused ETFs drew $9.48 million in net inflows on Friday, the largest single day this year, according to SoSoValue. Rising balances among large holding addresses have added support to the rebound.

Bitcoin price prediction notes a brief recovery on Saturday, October 10, but the market remains poised for a weekly loss as rising oil prices, higher U. S. Treasury yields, and renewed concerns about cryptocurrency security have dampened sentiment. Currently, the world’s largest digital asset trades around $82,900, up 0. 4% for the day after bouncing back from a […]

Bitcoin's order book has rebuilt sharply: about $11.7 million in orders sat within 1% of the price on October 7, roughly 75% more than on the recent crash day. Depth within 0.5% more than doubled to about $4.2 million, and Ether's order book is showing similar signs of rebuilding. Farther from the price, recovery has been slower, with 5% depth still near early-2025 levels, while altcoin liquidity remains thin. The rebuilt books were tested in the October 7–8 selloff, when Bitcoin's 1% depth fell about 12%.
