Bitcoin was reportedly trading near $77,000 on October 30, 2026, putting it on track for a roughly 7.7% October loss, its weakest October since 2014. The decline came as a tech sell-off spread into broader risk assets, including Nasdaq-linked stocks and gold, which also fell. October 31 is the month-end close, so the final result is not yet settled.
Bitcoin was reported to be on track for its worst October in 12 years. According to a Cointelegraph report dated October 30, BTC was trading around $77,000. If that level held into month-end, October losses would be about 7.7%, according to CoinGlass data cited in the coverage.
The same reporting says the move was part of a wider sell-off in risk assets rather than a crypto-only decline. A tech sell-off pressured Nasdaq-linked stocks, and gold also dropped to what was described as its lowest level in about a year.
The reporting covers the final days of October 2026. Dates and levels below come from the coverage and may change as markets move.
The reporting available does not include a formal statement from a regulator, company, or exchange about this move. It is mainly a market report based on price action and CoinGlass performance data.
Some coverage also pointed to spot Bitcoin ETF outflows in late October as an added source of pressure. Other reports said the broader sell-off involved forced selling, margin pressure, and cash raising after the tech sell-off. These are interpretations from market coverage, not confirmed findings from official sources.
Several market reports described Bitcoin trading more closely with tech stocks during October's risk-off moves, rather than acting as a safe-haven asset. That is an analysis view, not a settled conclusion.
Gold, which is often seen as defensive, also fell. Its drop is one reason the coverage describes the move as a broad unwind rather than a crypto-only event. One report said gold had slipped below $4,000 an ounce earlier in the week. Another summary linked the broader risk-off mood to a Binance-related headline, but that link was not confirmed in the reporting reviewed here.
This is market information, not investment advice. Short-term moves in a volatile asset can be large, and month-to-date figures can change before the close.
Some traders watched the area near $80,000 as a key level in October coverage. Reports also highlighted leverage and liquidations as a possible amplifier of sharp moves, so users who trade with borrowed money face higher risk.
The 'worst October in 12 years' claim depends on the final October 31 close, which is not yet confirmed in the reporting reviewed here.
It is also unclear how much of the move was driven by ETF flows, forced selling, or macro news such as Fed policy and tech earnings. Coverage of the Binance-related headline and the Nasdaq's exact monthly performance was limited, and those details should be checked against primary data before being relied on.
