Bitcoin traded around $83,200, showing relative strength as major altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana fell between 1.3% and 11.9% over the week. This resilience is attributed to Bitcoin's regulated fund investor base, unlike altcoins which face forced liquidations from leveraged trading. German investors should note that swapping altcoins for Bitcoin resets the 12-month tax holding period for the new coins, impacting tax liabilities. Market watchers await the US consumer price index release on October 14, which could trigger volatility ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting later in the month.
