Bitcoin bias flipped 33 times to weak bullish on October 5, 2026
Bitcoin is trading near $86k and working to reclaim its 2026 open after posting a 42% quarterly rally, its best quarter since 2024, with softer jobs data offsetting pressure from high yields. Investor flows are in focus after Bitcoin ETFs brought in $241M to kick start 'Uptober'. Attention is also on MicroStrategy adding just 334 Bitcoin alongside S&P Global bringing risk assessments to the crypto lending vault sector.
