Bitcoin Near 86,000 as Weaker US Jobs Data and Market Factors Influence Prices
Bitcoin traded near 86,000 amid weaker US jobs data that reduced expectations of an October Federal Reserve rate hike. The cryptocurrency gained over 3% in the past week, supported by improving institutional demand and ETF inflows, though rising US Treasury yields and oil prices above $100 continue to temper risk appetite. Market capitalization increased to around $2.9 trillion, with Bitcoin maintaining significant market dominance. Analysts note mixed on-chain signals and key resistance levels near 88,500 for Bitcoin's next move.
