BTC Price: Bitcoin's Soft-Inflation Pop to $85,500 Fades as Bond Yields Refuse to Fall
- Bitcoin rose 0.4% to just above $83,700 during Thursday Asian morning hours, retreating from Wednesday's $85,500 peak as Treasury yields remained elevated near their highest levels since 2002.
- August's PCE report showed prices up 3.4% annually and 3.0% excluding food and energy, reducing Federal Reserve rate hike odds for October. Dan Khus of LVRG Research noted, "Crypto markets took that as a relief signal, and bitcoin jumped back above $85,000."
- The 10-year Treasury yield traded around 5.28%, near Wednesday's peak, while the 30-year steadied at 5.62% after hitting its highest since 2002 during New York trading. High yields limited Bitcoin's ability to sustain gains above $85,000.
- HYPE rose 3% to about $89 and DOGE gained nearly 2% to under 10 cents, while SOL slipped nearly 1% to under $119. Japan's Nikkei jumped 2.7% and Alphabet added 1.5% on Gemini 4 Argon rollout.
- The cooling PCE data suggests December as the more likely timeframe for the next Federal Reserve move, though late swings on Wall Street erased earlier gains and capped market momentum.
