Bitcoin is about $82,350 after a low below $80,000, and Thursday returned $5.1 million to the ETFs
Cardano Daily
Bitcoin spent Friday until 14:07 near $82,350. CoinMarketCap held it at $82,334.98, up 1.90 percent. CoinGecko at $82,369, up 1.90 percent. The working price is $82,350. Ether is near $2,468 (+4.6 percent), Solana near $106.27, XRP near $1.342. The low was $79,805 on 15 October, according to Bitcoin Magazine, after US PPI at 6.3 percent; the expectation was 5.3 percent per Cointelegraph, or 5.4 percent per BitcoinMagazine — A≠B. Mempool: 1 sat/vB; retarget about plus 5.88 percent around 16 October at 14:46.
For ADA this hour means a stronger beta: Bitcoin about plus 1.9 percent, ADA about plus 4.5 percent. ADA/BTC rose from 273 to 280 satoshis. The same multiplier works on the way down: a fresh break below $80,000 would hit ADA harder — that is an interpretation.
The funds: a modest return
Farside for Thursday, 15 October, prints Bitcoin plus $5.1 million, ether minus $60.3 million, Solana minus $9.8 million. That is a modest turn after Wednesday's minus $261.4 million. CryptoSlate counts minus $859 million across six sessions; it puts support at $80,000–$81,500 (ETF break-even), and the Fed meets on 28 October. CoinShares records minus $434 million this week. XRP ETF is unavailable today (404/403).

CryptoSlate still warns of a trading trap around $80,000 as midterms approach.
