Bitcoin's recent selloff has broken key support levels, raising concerns about further downside.

Bitcoin's recent selloff has broken key support levels, raising concerns about further downside. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $77,513.00. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Sat, 31 Oct 2026 17:45:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The breach of critical technical support levels like the daily EMA50 and MA50 could signal increased selling pressure and a potential deepening of the current correction.

Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin dropped from $80,000s to $76,000-$77,000 range after Binance hack.
  • Key technical support levels EMA50 and MA50 were breached.
  • Analyst Doctor Profit warns of potential drop toward $67K-$69K.

Bitcoin has suffered a sharp selloff in recent trading sessions, with the price dropping from the low-$80,000s to the $76,000-$77,000 area following the Binance hack.

This decline has broken through key technical support levels, including the daily EMA50 and MA50, which analysts had identified as important price floors.

According to analyst Doctor Profit, this technical breakdown could signal further downside, with a potential target range of $67,000-$69,000.

The breach of these support levels is a significant development, as they had previously acted as reliable indicators of bullish momentum.

Despite the short-term bearish signals, the broader market remains relatively stable, with the total crypto market cap at $2.67 trillion and Bitcoin's market cap at $1.56 trillion.
