Bitcoin traded near $86,000 on Monday after weaker US jobs data sharply reduced expectations of an October Fed rate hike. Analysts said the softer macro backdrop, improving institutional demand and ETF inflows could support prices, though elevated Treasury yields and oil above $100 may continue to weigh on risk appetite.

Minal Thukral, Executive VP-Growth & Crypto Business Head at CoinDCX said Bitcoin broke out of the consolidation, closed the weekly trade around $86,800, and is currently trading around $86,300, and the crypto fear and greed index today is at 65, as market sentiment is greedy.
Over the past week, Bitcoin and Ethereum gained 3.95% and 2.71%, respectively. Among major altcoins, BNB, XRP, Solana, Tron, Hyperliquid, Dogecoin and Cardano gained up to 11.99%.
Prateek Gupta, Head of Business at Mudrex, said Bitcoin is holding above $86,000 after touching $87,250 on Friday, as weak US jobs data cut expectations of an October Fed rate hike from around 64% to below 20% and pushed Treasury yields lower.

Market perspective
Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst, Delta Exchange: Bitcoin’s recovery toward $87,000 is being supported by improving institutional demand and stronger market positioning. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted around $2.65 billion in September, while on-chain data suggests holders remain comfortably in profit without aggressive profit-taking.
Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42: Bitcoin has started October with a more constructive macro backdrop after softer U.S. jobs data sharply reduced expectations of an October Fed rate hike. Bitcoin’s current setup is being shaped by a clear macro headwind, as U.S. Treasury yields remain elevated, keeping pressure on crypto even as Bitcoin holds around $84,000.
Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus: Bitcoin is trading near $86,000 as renewed institutional demand and lower expectations of an October Fed rate hike support the broader crypto market. US spot Bitcoin ETFs have continued to attract inflows after the strong reversal seen in September. Softer US jobs data has also reduced expectations of near-term monetary tightening.
Nischal Shetty, Founder, WazirX: Bitcoin’s overall market dominance stood near 59.15%, confirming that it continues to lead the market. Within the CMC20 index, Bitcoin carried a 69.24% weight and Ethereum 13.25%. XRP and Solana followed at 3.82% and 2.84%, respectively.
