Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Bitcoin briefly fell below $84,000 during Wednesday\u2019s Asian session.<\/span><\/li>\n
Rising oil prices added inflation concerns ahead of the FOMC minutes, keeping interest-rate expectations in focus.<\/span><\/li>\n
BTC\u2019s immediate support lies around <\/span>80,000\u2013<\/span>82,000, while a sustained break above $87,000 could put $100,000 in focus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Bitcoin weakened Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve\u2019s meeting minutes and assessed renewed inflation risks from rising oil prices.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bitcoin slipped below $84,000 during Asian trading despite a return to inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The moves highlight uncertainty over monetary policy. Although expectations for an October rate increase have eased, the analysis indicates that investors continue to anticipate a significant possibility of further tightening by December.<\/span><\/p>\n
ETF inflows return, but Bitcoin struggles to advance<\/h2>\n
U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $118.8 million in net inflows on October 6, following $89.8 million in outflows on October 5, according to Farside figures cited in the report.<\/span><\/p>\n
The reversal offered a supportive demand signal, but it did not prevent Bitcoin from falling below $84,000 the following morning.<\/span><\/p>\n
The uneven flows suggest that investment demand has yet to provide consistent backing for a sustained advance. Continued inflows would strengthen the recovery case, particularly if accompanied by firmer spot buying.<\/span><\/p>\n
The FOMC minutes could influence expectations for the Fed\u2019s next policy steps. A stronger preference for additional rate increases could pressure both assets. Higher interest rates raise the appeal of interest-bearing investments and increase the opportunity cost of holding gold or Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n
A more patient policy tone could provide support, but rising energy prices complicate that outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n
Oil advanced Wednesday as a storm approaching the Gulf of Mexico and attacks in the Middle East raised concerns about supply disruptions. If higher energy costs sustain inflation, expectations for further monetary tightening could strengthen.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bitcoin price outlook: $80,000 support remains crucial<\/h2>\n
Bitcoin\u2019s daily chart shows consolidation within an ascending broadening wedge, with immediate support around <\/span>$80,000\u2013$<\/span>82,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
Holding that zone would preserve the constructive near-term scenario outlined in the analysis. A sustained move above $87,000 could then put the $100,000 level in focus.<\/span><\/p>\n
A break below $80,000 would weaken that setup and expose the <\/span>70,000\u2013<\/span>75,000 range. Further losses below $70,000 could bring support around $65,000 into view.<\/span><\/p>\n
On the weekly chart, <\/span>analysts identify<\/span> a longer-term support zone between $50,000 and $60,000 and a potential cup formation within an ascending channel.<\/span><\/p>\n
A future breakout above $100,000 could support an extension toward $150,000 under that bullish scenario. Those levels remain conditional technical projections rather than assured outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bitcoin\u2019s renewed ETF inflows provide encouragement, but stronger and more persistent demand would be needed to absorb selling and sustain a breakout.<\/span><\/p>\n
The immediate technical focus remains on defending <\/span>$80,000\u2013$<\/span>82,000 and overcoming $87,000 resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the FOMC minutes and energy-driven inflation concerns could influence both Bitcoin and gold through changes in rate expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n
Failure to hold Bitcoin\u2019s nearby support would instead increase the risk of a deeper correction.<\/span><\/p>\n
