What is bitcoin's price and total worth now, and what news moves it?

Research question: What is bitcoin's price and total market value right now, and what recent news is moving it?

The newest records put Bitcoin's price at $82,413.19 at 6:45 a.m. Eastern on October 9, 2026 1, with a market capitalization of roughly $1.33 trillion 5. That price was $208.85 lower than at the same time the previous day 3. Recent coverage describes heavy selling, with Bitcoin trading below $83,000 on a Thursday 8, and spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded outflows of $487 million on Wednesday as institutional demand faded 9. The Crypto Greed & Fear Index fell to 64 from 71 the previous day 11, and a Citigroup forecast of $113,000 for the coming year 7 is a projection, not a current price driver. The newest fact is dated October 9, 2026, and the records do not show anything later, so this is not confirmed as the live price.
