Binance accounted for 52.3% of the total. The largest individual liquidation was a $9.65 million bitcoin long position on Binance, executed at $81,772.<\/p>\n<h2>Four Factors Driving Bitcoin\u2019s Latest Decline<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s retreat below $82,000 appears to reflect five overlapping pressures, ranging from institutional withdrawals to macroeconomic uncertainty and a fresh wave of leveraged liquidations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Spot bitcoin ETF Outflows:<\/strong> U.S. spot bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-ether-etfs-lose-1-2-billion-as-institutional-demand-cracks\/\">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)<\/a> recorded approximately $679 million to $681 million in net outflows during the Oct. 5-9 trading week. The withdrawals weakened a source of institutional demand that had previously helped support bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Elevated Treasury Yields:<\/strong> The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed toward 5.24% to 5.3%, making interest-bearing assets more attractive relative to bitcoin. Higher borrowing costs and expectations of restrictive Federal Reserve policy have also weighed on investors\u2019 appetite for risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Rising Oil Prices and Geopolitical Tensions:<\/strong> Elevated crude oil prices, fueled partly by renewed Middle East tensions, have complicated the inflation outlook. Higher energy costs threaten to keep consumer prices elevated, potentially limiting the Federal Reserve\u2019s flexibility on interest rates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Inflation Anxiety and Technical Weakness:<\/strong> Investors are approaching Wednesday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-faces-cpi-reckoning-as-analysts-eye-81300-support\/\">consumer price index (CPI) report cautiously<\/a>, with producer price index (PPI) data scheduled for Thursday. Meanwhile, bitcoin\u2019s repeated failure to reclaim the $84,000 to $87,000 range has shifted attention toward support between $81,000 and $82,000.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these pressures have left bitcoin\u2019s price struggling to regain momentum. Wednesday\u2019s inflation figures could determine whether the latest retreat remains contained within its established trading range or develops into a deeper correction.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum, Solana and XRP Join the Retreat<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin wasn\u2019t alone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/price\/ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ethereum\u2019s price traded near $2,461<\/a>, down 2.79% over 24 hours and 9.34% over seven days. SOL changed hands around $106.16, losing 4.39% daily and 12.09% weekly. XRP declined 4.33% to $1.34, while dogecoin (DOGE) slipped 4.02% to approximately $0.08311.<\/p>\n<h3>Top 8 Cryptocurrencies by Market Cap<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Oct. 12, 2026 | 7:30 p.m. Eastern time<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"hidden lg:block\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Cryptocurrency<\/th>\n<th>24H Change<\/th>\n<th>7D Change<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Bitcoin (BTC)<\/td>\n<td>-1.90%<\/td>\n<td>-4.56%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ethereum (ETH)<\/td>\n<td>-2.79%<\/td>\n<td>-9.34%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BNB<\/td>\n<td>-2.22%<\/td>\n<td>-6.53%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>XRP<\/td>\n<td>-4.33%<\/td>\n<td>-10.80%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Solana (SOL)<\/td>\n<td>-4.39%<\/td>\n<td>-12.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TRON (TRX)<\/td>\n<td>-0.29%<\/td>\n<td>-2.17%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hyperliquid (HYPE)<\/td>\n<td>-5.44%<\/td>\n<td>-13.19%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zcash (ZEC)<\/td>\n<td>-5.82%<\/td>\n<td>-10.51%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>Source: Market snapshot, Oct. 12, 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/10-ai-models-including-claude-chatgpt-pick-cryptos-year-end-winners\/\">Hyperliquid (HYPE) and zcash (ZEC)<\/a> suffered even steeper daily declines of 5.44% and 5.82%, respectively.
