Bitcoin registered an intraday low at $83,500 on Sept. 23, the same day the US 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.11%, up 15 basis points in a single session, as a hotter-than-expected business activity survey pushed investors to reprice interest rates.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin now sits inside the $84,000 to $85,000 zone Glassnode identifies as its nearest on-chain support.<\/p>\n

Real yields carried most of the move<\/h2>\n

The 10-year real yield, which strips out expected inflation, climbed from 2.63% to 2.76% on Treasury’s curve, accounting for 13 of the 15 basis points added to the nominal yield. Implied 10-year inflation compensation, the gap between the two, edged from about 2.33% to 2.35%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Investors demanded a higher inflation-adjusted return on government debt, which raises the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin, an asset that pays no yield of its own.<\/p>\n

The trigger came from S&P Global’s September Purchasing Managers’ Index. The composite reading jumped to 58.4 from 56.0, with services at 58.7 and manufacturing at 57.0, the strongest expansion in the survey since July 2021.<\/p>\n

An economy running that hot leaves the Federal Reserve less room to ease, one week on from its Sept. 16 hike to a 3.75% to 4.00% target range. Intraday reports put the 10-year near 5.058% within minutes of the PMI release, and Treasury’s end-of-day curve settled at 5.11%.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin’s decline played out in the same session, with roughly $280 million in long liquidations as price broke below $84,000, according to CoinGlass.<\/p>\n

Glassnode’s map puts support at $84,000 to $85,000<\/h2>\n

Glassnode’s Sept. 23 report places the largest cluster of long-term holder supply between $84,000 and $85,000, the price range where the biggest block of patient holders acquired their coins.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin also trades above the short-term holder cost basis and above the True Market Mean at $77,000, which Glassnode describes as the main downside reference if the market loses $84,000.<\/p>\n

On the upside, the report puts the next major resistance at $96,700, derived from the mean MVRV price.<\/p>\n
