Bitcoin traded near $83,800 when Wall Street opened on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, according to TradingView data cited by Cointelegraph. It kept most of the gains it made overnight, and $84,000 was still the level price was pushing toward.
The pressure came from South Korea, where tech stocks sold off again. US stocks opened lower because of that sell-off, then quickly recovered. The report, written by William Suberg and edited by Robert Lakin, describes Bitcoin holding its ground while stocks fell at the open and then bounced back.
A price ticker on the same page, with no time given, listed BTC at $83,196.02, ETH at $2,506.57, SOL at $107.30 and XRP at $1.36. The report does not say whether Bitcoin reached $84,000. It also does not explain why the tech sell-off began in Korea.
For someone already holding a perpetual position, this changes nothing directly. The report includes no funding rates, open interest, liquidations or fee changes for Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, and a price move like this does not change any exchange's fee schedule. If the move affects what a position costs to hold, it will show up in the funding rate each exchange publishes, and this story does not report any.
