Live updates: Bitcoin back under $81,000 as AI selloff worsens
September inflation came in above forecasts and the selloff in AI stocks picked up speed, dragging bitcoin back toward last week’s low.
Bitcoin fell back below $81,000 as a selloff in AI-related stocks accelerated and September inflation data came in hotter than expected. The move pushed BTC toward its low from the previous week, with macro headwinds and equity weakness weighing on risk assets. Traders are watching whether the $80,000 area holds as support, since a break lower could open the door to a deeper correction.
