BTC’s recent drop below $80,000 puts the Oct. 27-28 Federal Open Market Committee meeting and upcoming Big Tech earnings at the center of the market outlook, according to QCP Capital. Amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and spot ETF outflows, BTC recently slipped under $80,000 and long futures positions were liquidated, QCP Capital said. The firm added that earnings from Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon could prompt a revaluation of AI-related assets if they support continued AI investment, while weaker signals could extend the correction in AI-linked stocks. Markets expect the October FOMC to leave rates unchanged, while pricing shows about an 84% probability of a rate hike in December. QCP Capital identified BTC’s key support and resistance levels at $78,000 and $86,000, respectively, and ETH’s at $2,150 and $2,500.

Bitcoin’s continued sideways trading relative to the S&P 500 may be a warning sign not only for speculative, high-volatility cryptocurrencies but also for the broader risk-asset market, Bloomberg senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone said. McGlone said Bitcoin was once seen as the fastest horse among risk assets, but despite showing about three times the volatility of the S&P 500 since 2021, it has recently remained rangebound against the index. He added the ratio between BTC and the S&P 500 is closely tied to expectations for Federal Reserve tightening, and those expectations have recently declined. He also said today that U.S. 30-year Treasury yields have risen this year while gold and Bitcoin have fallen, creating a divergence that could be resolved in favor of U.S. Treasuries. Rising inflation is pushing Treasury yields higher, while declines in Bitcoin and gold may point to stronger deflationary pressure, McGlone added.

As the South Korean government moves to revise an enforcement decree under the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act to strengthen oversight of cross-border virtual asset transfers, industry participants have called for changes to the original draft, Edaily reported. The Korea Web3 Blockchain Association, or KWBA, submitted its opinion to South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance on Oct. 26. The ministry had earlier issued a legislative notice on Oct. 7 for revisions to the enforcement decree following amendments to the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act on June 2.

KWBA said it supports the overall direction of bringing cross-border virtual asset transfers into foreign exchange authorities’ monitoring system, while recommending a review of revisions to several provisions in light of the industry’s level of preparedness and the compliance burden.

Billionaire entrepreneur and former crypto supporter Mark Cuban said in a recent interview that he sees the current market as a bubble, though unlike the internet bubble, nearly all assets are now trading like meme stocks, including Bitcoin. Cuban said stocks such as Micron, Google and Apple are all trading like meme stocks, pointing to sharp price swings on minor news. He said a stock can fall 18% simply because a company misses market expectations by one cent, even though the company’s intrinsic value has not changed by 18%. He added that investors are no longer buying based on the net present value, or NPV, of future cash flows, but are instead trading stocks like collectible baseball cards. For that reason, Cuban said he views the current stock market as a bubble, while adding that he does not know what will cause it to burst. Separately, Cuban said in May that he had sold most of his Bitcoin holdings after concluding that cryptocurrencies were not properly serving as a hedge against declines in fiat currency values and geopolitical instability.
