Bitcoin has dropped below $86,000 on Tuesday after gaining more than 12% across three consecutive positive weeks.<\/span><\/li>\n
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded an outflow of $90 million following last week\u2019s massive inflow.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
Resistance stands at $87,599 and near $90,000, while $85,000 remains immediate support.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Bitcoin consolidates after three weeks of gains<\/h2>\n
Bitcoin held below $86,000 on Tuesday, preserving a recovery of more than 12% since mid-September as ETF demand and shifting interest-rate expectations supported sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n
The cryptocurrency has recorded three consecutive weekly gains and is approaching resistance that could determine whether buyers extend the advance toward $90,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
Its technical structure remains constructive across daily and weekly charts. However, some daily momentum readings have moderated, suggesting consolidation near recent highs rather than an uninterrupted climb.<\/span><\/p>\n
Holding the nearby $85,000 support level would help preserve that bullish structure. A break below it would increase the possibility of a deeper correction.<\/span><\/p>\n
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $241.09 million in net inflows last week, according to SoSoValue data.<\/span><\/p>\n
The result marked a third consecutive positive week, showing that demand through these products continued alongside bitcoin\u2019s price recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, the week began negatively, with the funds recording an <\/span>outflow of $90 million<\/span> on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Repeated inflows provide a supportive backdrop, although they do not guarantee further gains. Their significance will depend on whether buying persists and how it compares with selling elsewhere in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n
An acceleration in inflows would strengthen the demand picture as bitcoin approaches overhead resistance. Conversely, weaker flows could leave the recovery more dependent on other buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n
For now, ETF activity remains one of the factors supporting the recent advance.<\/span><\/p>\n
Weak payrolls reduce October hike expectations<\/h2>\n
Investors also scaled back expectations for another Federal Reserve rate increase after Friday\u2019s weaker-than-expected U.S. employment report.<\/span><\/p>\n
September nonfarm payrolls rose by 29,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, falling short of the expected 90,000 increase. August\u2019s gain was revised down to 133,000 from 162,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
Following the report, CME FedWatch placed the probability of an October rate hike at 18.3% on Monday, down from approximately 70% the previous week.<\/span><\/p>\n
Reduced expectations for tightening can support risk assets by easing concerns about more restrictive financial conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, lower hike odds are not a promise of easier policy. They reflect market pricing that can change as additional economic data becomes available.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bitcoin technical forecast: Weekly resistance stands between BTC and $90,000<\/h2>\n
On the weekly chart, bitcoin faces initial resistance at $87,599, the 50% retracement between the August 2024 low of $49,000 and the October 2025 record high of $126,199.<\/span><\/p>\n
A successful close above that level would bring the 100-week simple moving average at approximately $89,832 into focus, followed by the psychological $90,000 threshold.<\/span><\/p>\n
Weekly momentum supports the recovery. The Relative Strength Index is around 62 and rising, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence shows expanding positive histogram bars.<\/span><\/p>\n
If resistance holds and a broader correction develops, the cited downside references include the $78,490 Fibonacci level and the 50-day SMA near $77,201.<\/span><\/p>\n
The daily chart shows bitcoin above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages, reinforcing the near-term bullish bias.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The daily RSI stands near 67, indicating strong momentum just below conventional overbought territory. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram has eased toward zero, suggesting upward pressure is slowing.<\/span><\/p>\n
Immediate support lies at $85,000. A daily close below that floor would weaken the consolidation structure and expose the 50-day EMA near $79,189.<\/span><\/p>\n
Further below, the 100-day EMA at $75,367 and the 200-day EMA near $74,994 form a deeper support area. More distant horizontal levels sit at $66,500 and $62,300.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bitcoin\u2019s recovery remains intact, but clearing $87,599 would provide stronger confirmation that buyers can carry the move toward $90,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
