Bitcoin Tests $80,000 Support as ETF Inflows Cool Before Friday Inflation Data

TradingGain NewsroomTradingGain Newsroom··22 Oct 2026, 08:40 UTC

Bitcoin is holding near $80,000, a level where Glassnode estimates US spot Bitcoin ETFs and public corporate treasuries have their average acquisition costs. ETF inflows slowed sharply, falling from $526.7 million on Oct. 19 to $23.2 million on Oct. 20, though both days were positive. Traders will watch whether the $80,000 area holds ahead of a Friday inflation test.

Why it matters

  • The $80,000 area matters because it is where Glassnode places average acquisition costs for US spot Bitcoin ETFs.
  • Public corporate treasuries also have their estimated average acquisition costs around the same $80,000 area.
  • ETF inflows lost momentum, with the latest session's inflow far below the prior day's, though still positive.

What to watch next

Watch whether Bitcoin holds the $80,000 area through Friday's inflation data and whether ETF inflows pick up again.

Crypto market today: Bitcoin up 0.39% to $77,571 as Binance breach news weighs

Bitcoin rose about 0.39% over the last 24 hours to about $77,571, and Ethereum gained about 0.49%. Most other major coins, including SOL, XRP, BNB and DOGE, slipped slightly, and 68 of 191 tracked coins were up, so the market was mixed and the moves were small. The most likely reasons are caution after the Binance hack reports and a Fear reading on the sentiment index.

Bitcoin's 18th Anniversary: Op-Ed Argues Bitcoin Can Shield Business Surplus

Marking 18 years since Satoshi published the Bitcoin white paper, an op-ed by Onramp CEO Michael Tanguma argues that small business owners still bear the cost of a system built on bailouts. He suggests that keeping part of their surplus in bitcoin could help protect it. This is an opinion piece, not a new market event, so its direct effect on prices is likely limited.
