Bitcoin2026-10-02 09:37:06Bitcoin nears $87K after breaking through sell walls as BTC short liquidations top $120MBitcoin pushed close to $87,000 on Friday after buyers cleared a concentration of sell orders around $85,000, sending BTC to $86,857 on Bitstamp before the price slipped back below $86,000. The move marked Bitcoin’s highest level since Sept. 23 and shifted market attention to a new liquidation cluster above $87,300, according to CoinGlass data. Glassnode said the breakout followed a reduction in ask liquidity above the market, which could allow price to move higher more quickly. The firm also noted that the remaining sell orders appeared to have been removed. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin short liquidations reached $122 million, while total liquidations across the broader crypto market stood at $210 million. Glassnode also pointed to ETF flows as a key confirmation signal for the current uptrend. In its latest The Week Onchain newsletter, the firm said stronger trading volume and renewed inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs would provide broader support for the move. Daily ETF inflows have cooled since Sept. 21, when they hit $999 million, nearly an 11-month high. On Oct. 1, US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net inflows of $102.7 million, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) bringing in $195 million, partly offset by outflows from other funds.60

Bitcoin2026-10-01 15:55:19Bitcoin holds a local higher-low structure as US Treasury yields pull back from 24-year highsBitcoin traded back above $84,000 around Thursday’s Wall Street open as US Treasury yields retreated after hitting fresh multidecade highs. TradingView data cited by Cointelegraph showed BTC/USD preserving a pattern of higher lows on the hourly chart, with the pair up 0.6% on the day and $84,000 staying in focus during the first US trading session of October. In rates markets, both the US 30-year and 10-year Treasury yields set new macro highs. The 10-year yield reached 5.342%, a level last seen in April 2002, before easing to 5.251% at the time of writing. Mahmood Pradhan, former deputy director of the European department at the International Monetary Fund, told The New York Times that global markets were "very nervous" about rising public debt, while higher yields were also raising governments’ interest costs. He added that the war in the Middle East had changed the backdrop, with higher oil prices already showing up in inflation data. Cointelegraph also pointed to the August US Personal Consumption Expenditures index, which came in at 3.4% year over year, below expectations. Market reaction was muted. Benjamin Cowen said on X that yields had risen quickly once the market began worrying that the Federal Reserve was no longer taking inflation seriously. On market structure, CoinGlass data showed $84,500 and $82,900 as nearby liquidity zones, while Rekt Capital said Bitcoin may still need a "messy" retest of support near $82,500.60
Bitcoin2026-10-01 10:46:26Coinglass data shows bearish funding rates across major CEXs and DEXsBlockBeats reported on Oct. 1 that funding rates across major centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges continued to point to a bearish market, citing data from Coinglass, as Bitcoin weakened again. The report said the current readings across mainstream CEX and DEX venues still reflected a negative market bias, with the detailed rates shown in an accompanying chart. BlockBeats also included a note explaining how funding rates work in crypto derivatives markets. Funding rates are typically used in perpetual futures to keep contract prices aligned with the underlying asset. The mechanism transfers payments between long and short traders, while the exchange itself does not collect the fee. According to the note, a 0.01% funding rate is treated as the baseline level. A rate above 0.01% generally signals a bullish market, while a rate below 0.005% is usually read as bearish.20
