Bitcoin fell below $81,000 on October 8 as a broad selloff impacted cryptocurrencies and U.S. stocks, weakening expectations for the usual October market rally. Bitcoin traded near $81,362 after briefly dropping below $80,000, with intraday lows varying across exchanges.

This market movement comes nearly a year after the October 2025 crypto flash crash, signaling cautious investor sentiment going forward.
