Crypto Pulse—Bitcoin

Overview On September 30, a softer-than-expected August reading of the US personal consumption expenditures price index pushed Bitcoin from roughly $83,800 to above $85,500 within the hour. By October 1 almost all of that move was gone and the price sat near $84,000. Over the same stretch the 10-year Treasury yield stayed pinned around 5.3%, refusing to follow inflation lower. A benign inflation print could not hold the bid, while a stubborn yield curve pushed it back. That single session is the

Overview Bitcoin has just closed its strongest quarter of 2026, gaining roughly 43% in the third quarter for its second-best Q3 on record, while Ethereum rose about 71% over the same period for its best third quarter ever. Beneath the price action, the market structure has shifted. Bitcoin dominance has slipped to around 58.6% in early October, Ethereum's share has climbed to 11.5%, and everything else now accounts for 30% of total crypto market value. Capital is no longer flowing in one directi

Overview At 08:00 UTC on September 25, roughly $16 billion of Bitcoin options settled on Deribit, clearing out more than a third of the venue's outstanding Bitcoin options exposure in a single half-hour window. Positioning did not reset into calm afterwards. It rolled forward, and the market immediately began pricing the next set of dates. Expiries matter not because of what happens on the day itself but because they are among the few liquidity events that can be known in advance: the contract c

Overview Bitcoin just closed its strongest quarter since 2024, and the derivatives market spent that same stretch shedding exposure. CoinDesk, citing CoinGlass data, reported on September 28 that coin-denominated futures open interest had fallen to roughly 652,000 BTC, near its lowest level of the year and well below the 800,000 peak set in early 2026. Perpetual funding rates across major venues had flipped negative at the same time, averaging about minus 0.3% on an annualized basis. A rally run

Overview Bitcoin is still trading well below the record it set in October 2025. CoinGecko's Bitcoin page puts the all-time high at $126,080 and the current price roughly 33% beneath it. That gap carries a piece of arithmetic that catches most investors off guard: a 33% decline requires a 49.5% advance to return to cost. Losses and recoveries are never symmetrical. Which is why three questions now sit in front of every Bitcoin holder. How much am I actually up or down, what price do I need to bre

Overview Bitcoin spent most of the past year swinging between selloffs and recoveries after peaking near $126,200 on October 6, 2025. Fortune's daily price record put the price at $85,686.06 on September 23, roughly 32% below that high but more than 40% above the cycle low printed in early February 2026. That position makes one question worth answering with arithmetic rather than instinct: what would a fixed monthly purchase through that entire stretch actually be worth now. The answer depends o

Overview Bitcoin reclaimed the $84,000 area in late September and gave part of it straight back to the bond market. CoinDesk reported that the US 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007, sending equities and crypto lower together, with Bitcoin trading at $83,344 at one point. CoinGecko data puts Bitcoin's market capitalization near $1.69 trillion, about 57.3% of the total crypto market. At that level the valuation question turns sharp. Nearly a year has passed since the October 2

Overview Bitcoin pushed back to the $86,000 area on September 21 and 22 after two strong sessions. CNBC reported that the price reached as high as $86,349.90, its strongest level since late January, leaving it up more than 8% on the week and about 34% over three months, with Bitwise's chief investment officer saying on air that he believes the crypto winter is over. Fortune's daily price record put bitcoin at $86,039.36 early on September 22. The price has recovered; the question has not become

Why is Bitcoin rising today? We break down the three forces behind BTC's May 2026 rally — record ETF inflows, post-halving supply squeeze, and geopolitical safe-haven demand — with price levels, risk factors, and what comes next Overview Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 psychological level in early May 2026, staging a 30%-plus recovery from its April lows. The move was not a flash of retail speculation — it was the product of three converging structural forces: unprecedented institutional capital e
