| Item | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| BTC price | $85,939 (Bitrue 85,939 · Binance 85,900 · Gate.io 85,898 · MEXC 85,922 · Upbit ₩116,110,000) | Under 0.05% between exchanges — no arbitrage gap |
| BTC 24h | -0.79% ($86,623 → $85,939) | Within 1% for the day — catching its breath |
| BTC 24h range | $85,270 ~ $86,647 (hourly closes) | Range 1.6% — about average |
| ETH price | $2,715 (24h -0.73%) | moving in step with bitcoin |
| Market breadth | 121 up · 134 down (of 255) | Gainers and losers are balanced = mixed |
| Above the long-term trendline (EMA200) | 117 coins (65%) | most sit above the trendline = the long-term trend leans up |
| Kimchi premium (USDT basis) | +0.55% (24h range +0.25% to +1%) | Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand |
| Kimchi premium (BTC basis) | +0.48% (Upbit ₩116,110,000 ÷ FX 1,344.61 = $86,352 vs $85,939) | the same bitcoin, priced at home vs overseas |
| USDT/KRW | 1,352 KRW (reference rate 1,344.61 KRW) | Tether trades 0.5% more expensive than the reference rate |
| Futures funding rate (BTC) | 0.0009% per 8h (Binance -0.0019% · OKX 0.0004% · Gate.io -0.0038%) | At the baseline = longs are not crowded |
| Measured $100 fill (Binance BTC/USDT) | $85,914 · 0% slippage ($100,000 also 0.008%) | fills at the quoted price — plenty of liquidity |
A funding rate at the 0.01% baseline means longs are not crowding the futures market. And a premium near zero means both sides run at a similar temperature. Gainers and losers were balanced, so it came down to the individual coin.
Biggest gainers and losers (24h)
We count only coins with at least $10M turnover listed on three or more exchanges (this keeps single-venue pumps and scam tokens out). Prices come from the largest venue by turnover; turnover from the largest spot venue.
Biggest gainers
| Coin | Price | 24h | Turnover (spot) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ELIZAOS | $0.00016066 → $0.00042468 | +164.33% | $10.2M |
| RLC (iEx.ec) | $0.3626 → $0.7125 | +96.5% | $30.7M |
| NIL (Nillion) | $0.0890 → $0.1099 | +23.45% | $17.8M |
| MOVR (Moonriver) | $1.71 → $2.01 | +17.82% | $32.1M |
| FLUID | $1.78 → $2.09 | +17.11% | $3M |

If turnover jumps while the price does not, someone large may be accumulating or exiting — check the order book on the coin page.
Kimchi premium right now
The kimchi premium (the price gap between Korean and overseas exchanges) is +0.55% — 24h average +0.6%, range +0.25% to +1%. Korea is slightly more expensive = normal domestic demand.
Coins with the widest gaps in our latest scan (one row per coin):
- RVN premium — Bybit $0.002448 · Upbit $0.0025074 — 2.43% apart
- SAND premium — Poloniex $0.0688 · Upbit $0.0700 — 1.81% apart
- GRT premium — Poloniex $0.0292 · Upbit $0.0295 — 1.07% apart
Read these gaps after fees, transfer time and FX. They are not an arbitrage call — they are a thermometer for which side of the market runs hotter.
Funding-rate skew (which way futures lean)
The funding rate is a fee that passes periodically between longs and shorts in perpetual futures. Positive means longs pay shorts; the further it drifts from the 0.01% baseline, the more crowded one side is.
- BTC 0.0009% per 8h (about 0.00% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- ETH 0.0047% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
- FET a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 4.5% a day (CoinEx)
- CL a lot of money is betting it rises — holding leverage costs about 4.5% a day (CoinEx)
A holding cost this wide is not an income opportunity — it is a signal that one side is badly crowded. On such coins, price swings dwarf the fee.
Yesterday's main stories
1. Bitcoin Holds Above $86,000 as U.S. Jobs Data Eases Rate Hike Concerns
On October 5, 2026, Bitcoin maintained its position above the $86,000 level after attempting to break the $87,000 resistance during Asian trading hours. This followed a report by Morningstar and Dimsum Daily on October 5, 2026, regarding U.S. non-farm payroll data released on Friday, October 2, which showed an increase of only 29,000 jobs, significantly below the market expectation of 90,000. This slowdown in the labor market caused the probability of an additional Federal Reserve interest rate hike in October to plunge below 20%.
The easing of interest rate hike concerns supported Bitcoin's price stability above $86,000, though further upward momentum was limited as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rebounded to 5.33%.
2. Crypto Lobby Fairshake Injects Millions into U.S. House Elections Amid Legislative Gridlock
According to a report by BNN Bloomberg on October 5, 2026, the major U.S. cryptocurrency political action committee Fairshake announced its official endorsement of 32 pro-crypto House candidates (19 Republicans and 13 Democrats) for the upcoming November midterm elections. This move comes as the CLARITY Act, a bill aimed at establishing a digital asset regulatory framework, stalled in the Senate. Fairshake plans to concentrate its financial support by allocating $1 million each to six of these candidates, totaling millions of dollars in campaign funding.
This massive funding initiative helped maintain long-term market expectations for an improved regulatory environment despite the current legislative deadlock.
3. Bitcoin Positioned 32% Below Its Historical High of $126,080
According to reports from The Crypto Desk and Bernstein on October 5, 2026, Bitcoin is currently trading in the $86,000 range, which is approximately 32% below its all-time high of $126,080 recorded exactly one year ago on October 6, 2025. Bernstein and other major institutions have released optimistic outlooks suggesting that Bitcoin could rise back to $125,000 by the end of December 2026, driven by seasonal strength in the fourth quarter.
The historical comparison and optimistic institutional forecasts provided a benchmark for Bitcoin's current market valuation and future recovery potential.
