Here’s why Bitcoin may soon crash back below $80K

Bitcoin traded at $83,488 at the time of writing, down by 0.01% over 24 hours, but a strong rally would require an improvement in both yields and investment flows.

Crypto falls while earnings expectations support stocks

Bitcoin declined 3.2% last week, Ethereum fell 7%, and altcoins lost 2.9%. The S&P 500 gained 1.2%, while the Nasdaq rose 0.2%. The Russell 2000 fell 0.9%, showing that equity strength was not uniform.

Federal Reserve’s September meeting minutes was an important influence on sentiment. The minutes indicated that most officials expected another interest-rate increase before year-end, with no discussion of cuts.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $679 million in net outflows last week, their largest weekly withdrawal since late June.

The redemptions coincided with Bitcoin’s retreat from the $86,000–$87,000 area to a Thursday low near $80,400.

$BTC subsequently recovered above $83,000, but the rebound had not developed into a sustained return toward its recent highs.

The decline in recent days suggest that Bitcoin had lost the investment-flow support that helped earlier advances, while equities retained support from earnings expectations.

Treasury yields and CPI remain key tests
