Summary
Bitcoin traded near $83,382 on October 21, 2026, as U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a second straight day of net inflows, according to Pluang. The flows, however, moderated sharply: Tuesday's net inflows totaled $23.2 million, compared with $526.7 million on Monday, following a strong session that marked the sector's recent gains.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust was the largest contributor to Monday's inflows, drawing $665.2 million. Other major products were mixed, with Fidelity's FBTC and Grayscale's GBTC both recording outflows. The divergence underscores that flows across issuers remain uneven even during periods of aggregate net buying.
On the technical side, the source identifies the $84,000-$85,000 range as a key supply zone for long-term holders, a level that may act as resistance if prices approach it.
Outside the U.S., Switzerland's financial regulator approved the country's first retail fund permitted to invest directly in Bitcoin. The source characterizes the approval as evidence of ongoing institutional interest, while noting Bitcoin's high market risk.
The same report includes a market snapshot as of October 22, 2026, 06:03 WIB, showing 32 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rising and 16 falling. Among notable movers, Ethereum Classic (ETC) rose 2.97% to Rp146.613, Kusama (KSM) fell 2.50% to Rp75.061, and Harmony (ONE) gained 2.32% to Rp27.
