Bitcoin bias flipped 22 times to weak bullish on October 6, 2026
Bitcoin is holding its October gains after two moves above $86K and trading toward $87K as U.S. equities hit new record highs, coming after a 42% quarterly rally described as its best since 2024. Market discussion is framing the token a year after its $126,000 peak as trading like a rates bet rather than an inflation hedge, with focus also on S&P Global's risk assessments for crypto lending vaults and MicroStrategy adding just 334 Bitcoin.
