CryptoQuant data points to early October Bitcoin price bottom.
Rising demand and whale accumulation support ongoing bullish trend.

On October 14, 2026 (UTC), Cointelegraph reported that CryptoQuant’s latest onchain data indicated Bitcoin’s price may have established a potential bottom at the beginning of October. The analysis showed “cautious optimism” among market participants as key metrics pointed to a turnaround in demand.

CryptoQuant’s onchain metrics revealed that market demand recovered from deeply negative levels to near-neutral. Meanwhile, exchange balances remained low, reflecting limited selling pressure. In addition, whale holdings climbed to approximately 3 million BTC, suggesting renewed accumulation among large investors.

However, Bitcoin continues to face ongoing external pressures. High U.S. yields and slowing spot ETF inflows have weighed on market sentiment. These factors remain critical challenges for further price upside.

Despite these pressures, the “Uptober” bullish trend thesis remains valid. The combination of recovered demand, low exchange balances, and increased whale accumulation has provided key support for Bitcoin’s price action. CryptoQuant’s analysis states that sustained spot ETF inflows and continual demand recovery are still required to confirm the ongoing bullish narrative.

As of October 14, 2026, 17:09 UTC, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $81,938.70, with a -1.44% change in 24-hour trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap.
