Bitcoin moved from a brief dip near $81,000 back toward $83,000, while spot Bitcoin ETFs continued to show net withdrawals across multiple reports. The flow data and price move were paired with larger weekly losses in major altcoins and with October 14 outflows concentrated in Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT. One report also tied the day’s backdrop to September US inflation at 3.7% as Bitcoin neared $80,000.
