TRX Bitcoin swings around $80K-$84K amid Korean tech selloff and US inflation data
Posts report bitcoin trading in a roughly $80,000 to $84,000 range across October 13-15, 2026, with moves tied to a South Korean tech and semiconductor selloff and to U.S. inflation data. CoinDesk reported bitcoin climbing toward $84,000 after Fed's Williams saw no rate hikes in 2027, then tumbling from near $84,000 ahead of the CPI print, and later back under $81,000 as an AI selloff worsened. Cointelegraph reported bitcoin dipping to $80.1K as the KOSPI closed at its lowest since April, while The Defiant reported bitcoin holding above $81,000 as producer prices posted their largest jump sinc
