Bitcoin (BTC) changed hands at $80,362.01 on October 26, 2026, slipping 0.04% over the prior 24 hours. The modest daily move left the leading cryptocurrency largely range-bound, though it maintained a position above the $80,000 threshold.
Zooming out, the picture shows more sustained pressure. Bitcoin has shed 2.42% over the past seven days and 4.54% over the past 30 days, reflecting a gradual erosion in value across the near-term timeframe.
Despite the slide, Bitcoin's market capitalization stood at $1,595.94 billion, underscoring the asset's continued scale within the broader digital-asset landscape.
The day's price action offered little directional conviction, with the marginal 24-hour decline doing little to resolve the modest but persistent downtrend visible over the past month.
