Bitcoin has been in the red since October started, a month historically green for the leading cryptocurrency—often referred to as "Uptober." Experts warn not to treat October as a reliable bottom for Bitcoin, and predict there could be more bleeding ahead.
Per CoinGecko data, Bitcoin hit lows of $80,427 in the past week, and is currently trading at just under $83,000, down 4.1% over the past seven days. On Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt's parent company Dastan, users put a 79% chance on Bitcoin ending the week above $82,000, and just a 28% chance of it topping $84,000.
