Indicator As of Latest 1Y change vs avg History This week
Bitcoin price Crypto 10/23/26 $81,522 ▼ -26.6% +38.2%
Crypto is trading as a rate-sensitive risk asset, not a hedge against stocks.
  • Bitcoin at $82,027 (Oct 18) is down 24.5% in a year; its link to US stocks reads 0.47, close to one more bet on stocks.
  • The hot CPI knocked prices mid-week: when safe yields rise, money that pays nothing to hold gets left behind.
  • Ethereum at $2,421 (Oct 18) is down 39.3% over the year; the slide long predates this week and has no single October catalyst.
