Bitcoin rebounds above $81K as midterm volatility reverses crypto losses
Bitcoin recovered sharply from a roughly $75,600 low after the midterm results, while liquidations and broader market conditions shaped the move.
Bitcoin recovered sharply from a roughly $75,600 low after the midterm results, while liquidations and broader market conditions shaped the move. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,43,451 ($80,598.00), up 0.6% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 2 outlets (Bitcoin.com, Unchained), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Wed, 04 Nov 2026 22:30:01 UTC.
The rebound shows how Bitcoin can quickly reverse around major political events, but its 7-day decline and a Fear & Greed reading of 34 indicate that sentiment has not fully recovered.
- Bitcoin moved from about $75,600 to above $81,000
- Bitcoin.com calls it the first $81,000 break since October 29
- Unchained links the rally to liquidations of crypto bearish bets
- BTC trades at $80,117, up 2.99% over 24 hours
Bitcoin.com and Unchained both report that Bitcoin fell to approximately $75,600 as the midterm results came in and then climbed above $81,000 on Wednesday. Bitcoin.com adds that the move represented nearly 4% daily appreciation and took Bitcoin above $81,000 for the first time since October 29, while Unchained says the rally forced out hundreds of millions of dollars in bets against crypto. The outlets agree on the central price reversal and do not contradict each other, but Unchained places greater emphasis on the liquidation of bearish positions, whereas Bitcoin.com focuses on the rally’s scale and recent historical context.

- Bitcoin rebounds above $81K as midterm volatility reverses crypto losses — this brief
Bitcoin recovered from a volatile session around the midterm results, rising from an intraday low near $75,600 to trade above $81,000 on Wednesday. Bitcoin.com said the advance was worth nearly 4% on the day and represented Bitcoin’s first move above that threshold since October 29. Unchained independently described the low as about $75,600 and the subsequent climb as passing $81,000.
The two reports agree on the size and direction of the reversal. Bitcoin.com said the earlier drop marked a multi-week low before the rebound, while Unchained connected the recovery to the midterm results coming in and reported that hundreds of millions of dollars in bets against crypto were forced out during the rally. That liquidation detail comes only from Unchained.
At the reported peak above $81,000, Bitcoin.com put Bitcoin’s market capitalization near $1.62 trillion. The live market snapshot places BTC at $80,117 with a $1.61 trillion capitalization, just below the intraday high described in the coverage. BTC is up 2.99% over 24 hours but remains down 1.77% over seven days, showing that the sharp recovery has not erased its broader weekly decline.
The wider crypto market is broadly higher and has a total capitalization of $2.75 trillion. Despite that advance, the Fear & Greed index stands at 34, within the Fear range. The divergence between a positive 24-hour BTC return, a negative seven-day performance, and cautious sentiment illustrates the mixed conditions surrounding the price rebound.
The development matters because the rally followed pronounced election-related volatility and coincided with the closure of substantial bearish crypto positions, according to Unchained. The immediate levels to monitor are whether Bitcoin can remain near or above the reported $81,000 area and whether its seven-day loss continues to narrow as broader market participation improves.
The apparent $81,000 move may therefore mark a sharp recovery rather than a complete shift in short-term direction.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.27M (about $80,598.00), up 3.7% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
