BTC price action returned to a key weekly resistance level as US stock markets digested Alphabet’s Q3 earnings miss.

Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded above $81,000 after Thursday’s Wall Street open as US GDP numbers stayed strong and inflation data conformed to estimates.

Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD reaching $81,547 on Bitstamp after dropping as low as $79,607 following Wednesday’s daily close.

“The economy was thought to have been a lost cause during much of the current Administration’s time in office, but real GDP has bounced back above a 3% run rate in Q3 2026 for the first time in a year,” he noted.
