Bitcoin maintained levels around $86,000 on Monday following its strongest weekly closing price in eight months. The cryptocurrency encountered difficulty breaking above this threshold as American markets commenced trading.

Treasury yields continued their upward trajectory throughout the session. The yield on 30-year bonds advanced to 5.67%, sitting merely two basis points beneath the previous week’s peak not seen in 24 years. Meanwhile, the 10-year note yield moved back to 5.31%.
QCP Capital, a trading firm, observed that bond markets remain volatile despite disappointing employment figures from the United States. The firm cited elevated crude oil prices and sustained long-duration yields as factors preventing risk assets from mounting significant advances.
American equity markets posted gains at Monday’s opening bell. The S&P 500 index advanced 0.5% while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7%, driven by market participants anticipating the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady at its upcoming Oct. 28 policy meeting.
Deutsche Bank’s analytical team indicated that this week’s FOMC meeting minutes, scheduled for release Wednesday, carry greater significance than typical releases given the ongoing bond market volatility. The minutes may reveal how policymakers assess the current monetary tightening trajectory.
Lacie Zhang, who leads research at Bitget Wallet, suggested Bitcoin might climb toward $90,000 to $93,000 if Treasury yields retreat and inflation figures continue reflecting labor market weakness. She emphasized that declining rate expectations alone, or ETF capital flows in isolation, are insufficient to validate a sustained breakout.
According to Zhang, buyers must push price above $87,400 on either a daily or weekly closing basis to establish positive momentum. She identified $84,000 and $82,000 as key support zones should downward pressure emerge.
Michaël van de Poppe, recognized on X as @CryptoMichNL, drew parallels between current market conditions and the previous cycle. He suggested Bitcoin may reach $100,000 before entering a consolidation phase, with 2027 potentially delivering fresh record highs.
It's very comparable by what we've seen in the previous cycle for #Bitcoin.
Breakout upwards, after a massive bullish divergence has been created.

The likelihood of an October interest rate increase declined to roughly 23%, a substantial drop from the 64% probability recorded a week prior. Zhang attributed this shift to September’s payroll expansion of only 29,000 jobs, significantly below the 90,000 forecast by economists.
The August payroll figure also underwent downward revision to 133,000 from the originally reported 162,000. During this timeframe, the unemployment rate ticked higher from 4.1% to 4.2%.
Zhang reported that US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted approximately $2.65 billion during September, with an additional $134 million flowing in across the first two trading days of October. While she characterized these inflows as constructive, they have proven insufficient to propel Bitcoin beyond current resistance zones.
In a separate observation, Coin Bureau highlighted on X that long-term Bitcoin holders maintained profitability throughout the entire market cycle, citing Glassnode analytics. The account emphasized this represents an unprecedented occurrence across any bear market dating back to at least 2015, noting the holder profit metric is currently ascending once more.
You can't make this up.
Bitcoin has done something it hasn't done in any bear market since at least 2015.
Long-term holders stayed in PROFIT through the entire cycle, per Glassnode.

Glassnode’s Weekly Market Pulse report identified declining buyer dominance relative to mid-September levels, when BTC/USD initially recovered to $87,000 for the first time in eight months. The analysis characterized this as reflecting “moderation in aggressive upward momentum” rather than signaling a trend reversal.
Zhang warned that firmer inflation readings, renewed price pressures stemming from oil markets, or hawkish rhetoric from Federal Reserve officials could revive October rate-hike speculation. She noted any of these scenarios might drive Bitcoin back toward the $84,000 level.
The Federal Reserve implemented a 25-basis-point increase to its target range on Sep. 16, bringing it to 3.75%–4.00%, with unanimous support from all 12 voting members. September’s economic projections positioned the median year-end rate at 4.1%, representing an increase from the 3.8% projection issued in June.
