[Bitcoin Now] Trading in the $77,000 range amid rising prices… Trading volume plummets, stop-losses dominate

Bitcoin rose 0.90% to $77,692 as of 1 p.m. KST on November 1, 2026, but the advance came on sharply diminished participation, with 24-hour volume collapsing 65.95% to roughly $11.12 billion. Daily moves over the past five sessions have been choppy—+0.54% on Oct. 28, -4.12% on Oct. 29, -0.80% on Oct. 30, and +0.28% on Oct. 31—leaving the trend unclear after recent declines. Investor sentiment remains in fear territory, and active wallet counts are falling alongside volume, signaling broad market retrenchment. Exchanges are also recording continued net outflows of bitcoin, which some read as accumulation but which here accompanies weak conviction. The muted volume means the bounce lacks confirmation, and traders appear to be cutting losses rather than adding risk. Watch whether volume and active addresses recover to validate the rebound, whether sentiment lifts out of fear, and whether exchange outflows persist.
