TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin held above $85,000 after a weak September jobs report lowered the odds of another Federal Reserve rate hike this month. The rally toward its late-September peak ran out of steam short of $87,000. The data shifted rate expectations while leaving the largest cryptocurrency rangebound above the $85,000 level.
Bitcoin Stalls Above $85,000 as Weak Jobs Report Trims October Rate-Hike Odds
The macro read-through is doing more work here than anything crypto-native: a soft jobs print pulling rate-hike odds lower is the kind of shift that has recently mattered more to bitcoin than sector-specific news. What stands out is the asymmetry — the move stalled short of the prior peak rather than extending, suggesting the data removed a headwind without supplying fresh demand. The level to watch is whether the range above $85,000 holds as rate expectations keep repricing.
