According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is facing selling pressure, marking the third time since September 23 that it has been blocked near $87,000. FxPro analyst Alex Kuptsikevich stated that since the beginning of last week, BTC has formed a trend of "gradually higher local lows," but bulls have not yet gained sufficient upward momentum.The current price is approaching the apex of a triangle formed by horizontal resistance and an ascending support line. If this pattern is broken, the market may experience greater volatility. The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has fallen back to about $2.93 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks have performed strongly, with the Nasdaq 100 index reaching a new closing high and the S&P 500 index less than 0.5% away from its historical peak. However, U.S. Treasury yields continue to rise, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing to 5.32%, close to its highest level since 2002.Market observers believe that for BTC to break through $87,000, sufficient buying pressure is needed to absorb the selling pressure that continues to appear around this price level. Once it stabilizes at this level, it may further open up space for movement towards an 8-month high.

Coinkarma founder Benson Sun posted that around 11 PM on October 1, both the US stock market and gold weakened simultaneously, but the Binance BTC/USDT spot market saw a continuous market buy order of about 400 BTC, supporting the price above $84,000, and ultimately the candlestick formed a doji.Around 1:30 AM on October 3, within the same price range, the market briefly saw about 1,400 BTC market sell orders, causing the price to drop rapidly and form a long lower shadow, but it still held in that area. The candlestick showed that approximately 100 BTC sell orders appeared every few seconds, but the price was quickly pulled back by buy orders after each dip.Benson Sun pointed out that this area highly overlaps with the recent rapid accumulation of on-chain chips in the $83,000 to $84,000 range. Combining the spot order flow with on-chain data, it is judged that there is active capital support in this price range, and the buying response was quite evident after BTC entered this area.

Analyst Ali posted on platform X that Bitcoin recently faced resistance at $87,000, during which whales took profits and sold over 30,000 BTC. At the same time, $87,000 is also the upper boundary of the price channel that has been suppressing BTC for more than the past two weeks.Ali stated that in the short term, attention should be focused on the lower boundary of the channel at around $82,500. If BTC falls back to this level and whales begin to accumulate again, it will serve as a confirmation signal for considering buying on dips, with the next rebound target looking towards $87,000.

Cryptocurrency analyst @AxelAdlerJr stated that the buying pressure indicator in the Bitcoin futures market has risen to 4.9, the highest since August 19; the contract open interest has increased by nearly 9,000 BTC within 24 hours.This indicator reading means that the accumulated buying pressure over the past 12 hours is nearly five standard deviations higher than the average level of the past week. @AxelAdlerJr indicated that if the Bitcoin price remains above $85,000 while the upward momentum weakens, the upward trend is likely to continue; if the price falls below $83,000, the liquidation of newly established long positions may accelerate the decline.

Renowned trader Killa stated that the current Bitcoin trend has clearly shifted, yet we are still at the peak stage of the "market skepticism bull market."In the 2023 bull market, if one went long every time there was a sweep below the "established low" (meaning a low that has been confirmed by the market and has shown support), the price only dropped a maximum of 8% below that low; in some cases, it only dropped 4-5% before immediately rebounding.Our current "established low" is 82.5K; based on historical performance, the expected downward deviation will be very small. Killa, as a quantitative trader focused on BTC, predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025 and has over 200,000 followers on platform X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at 74,688 USD and turned to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.

Cryptocurrency analyst Ali pointed out in a post that during the overall sideways movement of the cryptocurrency market in the past week, there has been a significant divergence in the holdings of different assets by whales. Data shows that Bitcoin whale holdings decreased by about 30,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.52 billion, indicating that large holders are reducing their Bitcoin exposure.In contrast, Ethereum whales increased their holdings by about 60,000 ETH during the same period, valued at approximately $162 million. Regarding XRP, whale holdings remained relatively stable, with total holdings maintaining around 3.9 billion XRP over the past week, showing no significant changes. Ali further stated that the current market presents a divergent pattern of "Bitcoin whales reducing holdings, Ethereum whales buying, and XRP whales observing," which is worth paying attention to.

Bitcoin Treasuries posted on platform X that Strive's SATA has reportedly raised enough funds to purchase over 400 Bitcoins.SATA is currently buying 90% of the daily Bitcoin mining output.

Crypto analyst Ali posted on platform X, stating that Dogecoin has currently reached an important resistance area of about 0.098 USD, with approximately 28 billion DOGE traded around this price level. Meanwhile, the whales continue to accumulate.In the past 96 hours, large holders have cumulatively bought over 1.14 billion DOGE, worth about 112 million USD. Ali added that the whales seem to be positioning themselves for a breakout of DOGE above the current resistance level.

According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa's monitoring, the address withdrew 4088.5 ETH at an average price of $2727.26 between September 21 and 23.

David Hoffman, founding partner of Bankless Ventures, published a discussion on the "Bitcoin Buy Side Trophy," stating that the crypto market occasionally sees a single asset absorbing the capital shift from Bitcoin holders. The Bitcoin community has long maintained a consensus of "holding only BTC," with a scale of about $1.7 trillion; individual shifts usually go unnoticed, but when enough people turn to the same asset, it becomes contagious. He cited 2021's ETH as an example, where its market cap rose from about $12 billion at the bottom to about $554 billion at the top, and referenced Su Zhu's statement from October that year, indicating that some people specifically moved cold-stored Bitcoin to buy ETH, and some publicly known Bitcoin maximalists may privately hold ETH.He believes that ZEC in 2026 is similar to ETH in 2021, having formed a consensus point for some Bitcoin capital, with reasons including privacy, quantum, or as a hedge against Bitcoin exposure "just in case." ZEC's market cap rose from about $200 million to about $2.6 billion, which is still small relative to the $1.7 trillion BTC; the key lies in relative scale rather than dollar appreciation, as the buying pressure is driven by Bitcoin wealth. As long as a very small proportion of holders can be persuaded to allocate a small amount of ZEC, the buying pressure will continue; very few people skip BTC, ETH, and other crypto assets to buy based solely on ZEC's own merits.He also believes that NEAR will win the weaker "smart contract buy side" in 2026, with funds coming from more decentralized market participants. The crypto market has always prioritized value storage, with smart contract chains coming second; ETH's position is weaker than BTC's, and SOL's challenge to ETH is greater than any asset's challenge to BTC.

Huobi HTX Chief Analyst Cloud stated that Bitcoin quickly rebounded after hitting the bottom under the dual pressure of interest rate hikes and the obstruction of the Clear Act, with a weekly increase of about 16%, rising to $87,307 during trading on September 21 (Huobi HTX spot price), reaching a new high since January. This round of increase is driven by three forces: the net inflow of about $1 billion into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF on September 21, the largest single day of the year; short positions being liquidated for about $650 million within 24 hours; and falling oil prices leading to a cooling of inflation expectations. Compared to last week's rebound, which was mainly driven by passive replenishment, this week saw a relay of spot buying.Whether the trend can continue depends on two points: whether ETF inflows can shift from a single-day pulse to a continuous trend, and whether leverage can be maintained at a non-overheated level. Currently, the funding rate is about 0.01%, in a neutral range, but the open interest of Bitcoin contracts has risen above $61 billion. If the capital weakens, high leverage will amplify the pullback. Market sentiment has entered an extreme greed zone, which historically has often been a precursor signal for short-term trend reversals. Technically, $87,500 is the resistance above, while the first support zone is between $84,000 and $85,000. The trend has conditions for continuation, but the highest risk of short-term volatility also occurs during the hottest phase of sentiment.Note: The content of this article is not investment advice and does not constitute any offer, solicitation, or recommendation of investment products.
