ARB Skyrockets by Double Digits Again, BTC Recovers From Drop to $76K: Market Watch
Following the latest escalation in the Middle East war, bitcoin’s price dipped toward $76,000 yesterday for the first time in almost two weeks before rebounding today.
Most larger-cap alts have posted some gains over the past day, with XRP climbing to over $1.35 and BNB tapping $700. ETH still fights for $2,400.
BTC Rebounds
The breakout from a couple of weeks ago drove the primary cryptocurrency from under $65,000 toward $80,000 within days. After hitting some resistance there at first, BTC finally managed to surge past that level last week, jumping to $81,200 and $81,500 on a couple of occasions.
However, the bulls were too exhausted and couldn’t continue driving the asset north. Instead, bitcoin dropped to $77,000 last Friday after Kevin Warsh’s hawkish speech at Jackson Hole.
Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency managed to recover some ground during the weekend and touched $79,000 on Sunday. It dipped back down to $77,000 on Monday after the strikes in the Middle East resumed, rebounded to $79,000 and closed the month in the green, and dropped once again yesterday to $76,200 – its lowest price tag in 10 days.
Nevertheless, that level provided the necessary support, and BTC now trades close to $78,000. Its market capitalization on CMC is up to $1.560 trillion, while its dominance over the alts stands still at 59.6%.
ARB Rockets
Arbitrum’s native token is today’s top performer, having surged by 18.5%. It now trades close to $0.14 after a 50% increase in the past week. NIGHT is next with an 11.5% pump, followed by CAKE (9%), APT (9%), LIT (8%), and PYTH (6.5%).
SUI and ADA have surged the most from the larger caps, both up by over 6% to $0.21 and $0.77. XRP has reclaimed the $1.35 support after a 2.7% daily increase. ETH fights for $2,400, while BNB is slightly above $700. SOL is back to $100, while TRX is up by just over 1%. In contrast, UNI has slumped by 6.5% after its recent rally, while SKY is down by almost 6%.
The total crypto market cap is up by $20 billion to $2.620 trillion on CMC.

Updated: SpaceX spectrum trading triggers industry shock, US and European telecom stocks decline
In early trading of the S&P 500 index components, T-Mobile and Verizon led the declines as the European telecom sector fell to its lowest point since January. According to an updated report with stock price data and charts by Rashika Singh from Reuters on October 9, U.S. and European telecom stocks dropped sharply on Friday amid growing concerns about intensified competition in satellite mobile services after SpaceX’s acquisition of low-band spectrum. T-Mobile US, Verizon, and AT&T saw pre-market losses ranging from 5.5% to 7.4%, while the STOXX Europe 600 Telecommunications Index fell over 2% to its lowest level since January 30. Among the largest European telecom operators by market value, Deutsche Telekom dropped 6.5%, Vodafone decreased by 4.1%, Orange fell by 2.3%, and Telefónica dipped 3.9%. The stock declines followed reports (link) that SpaceX agreed to acquire a nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio from private equity firm Grain Management for approximately $8 billion. This move bolsters SpaceX’s ambitions in satellite-to-cellular network connectivity. Analysts at Morgan Stanley commented, “We believe the Grain deal clearly indicates that SpaceX will pursue a more aggressive approach in spectrum acquisitions,” adding that any threat to existing operators would likely emerge gradually, starting with rural markets. Compared to higher-frequency radio waves, low-band spectrum travels longer distances and more effectively penetrates buildings and obstacles, which may facilitate SpaceX in advancing its Starlink Mobile service. Although financial terms were not disclosed by the parties, The Wall Street Journal cited sources valuing the deal at $8 billion. SpaceX shares rose 4% following the announcement, though the transaction is still subject to regulatory approval. [Chart link: https://www.reuters.com/graphics/BRV-BRV/lbvgxnzxepq/chart.png] Communications tower stocks bucked the sector-wide sell-off, as investors bet that SpaceX’s wireless ambitions would ultimately drive demand for more ground infrastructure. American Tower, Crown Castle, and SBA Communications saw gains between 6.7% and 8.3%. Morgan Stanley noted the deal is a “marginal positive” for communications tower operators, pointing out that even satellite-dominated networks may require the deployment of towers, rooftop and small cell sites, and that broader urban competition would necessitate substantial ground-based infrastructure and spectrum resources.
