The digital currency market was under selling pressure on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the same time as the Asian stock markets fell sharply. Bitcoin is trading around $81,000 at the last price check after dropping to near $80,000. This drop occurred following the release of US inflation data and increased concerns about the Federal Reserve's policies.

According to The Block and CoinDesk, South Korea's Caspian index fell by about 8 percent and Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell by more than 5 percent in morning trading. Shares of technology companies Samsung and SK Hynix also fell more than 9 percent.

According to the data reviewed by Ambassador Arjan, the US annual inflation rate reached 3.7% in September, which was higher than economists had predicted. This event strengthened investors' concerns about the continuation of high interest rates or their increase again.

Data from the FedWatch tool show that the probability of an interest rate hike at the Federal Reserve's October meeting first rose from 22 percent to about 47 percent, but then dropped to 26 percent.

This change in expectations has increased uncertainty in financial markets and reduced investors' desire for risky assets.

At the same time as the market fell, US spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $150.5 million on October 14; while the previous day they had 175.7 million dollars inflow.

CoinGlass data also shows that about $951.4 million of leveraged trading positions were liquidated within 24 hours, of which $876.3 million were related to buy transactions.

The analysts of Sefir Arjan believe that the simultaneous fall of Asian stock markets, the withdrawal of capital from ETFs and the increase of inflationary concerns can intensify the volatility of Bitcoin. Before entering, it is better for Iranian traders to check the trend of the dollar index, interest rate expectations and funds' capital flow. Until economic uncertainty decreases, there is a possibility of unsuccessful price level breaks and more liquidations; Therefore, reducing leverage and complying with risk management becomes more important.
