Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Extends Slide — Can ‘Uptober’ 2026 Beat Last Year’s? Bitcoin’s price dipped further on Monday, sliding 2% over a 24-hour period to trade at a little over $82,423. The coin over the past week has dropped by 3%, and so far this month, it’s trading down. October is usually a strong month for the OG cryptocurrency. Data from Coinglass shows that it has finished eight of the last 10 Octobers in the green. Last year was one of the exceptions: while bitcoin’s price notched an all-time high of $126,080, it then started to enter a bear market after October 10 — when the biggest crypto liquidation event in history battered the asset’s price. Markets across the board got hit hard following tariff threats from U. S. President Donald Trump. Crypto long positions got wiped out and over $19 billion in digital asset bets were liquidated. Bitcoin then spent most of 2026 in a bear market. The good news?
