What happened: Bitcoin traded near $83,200 on September 24, 2026, following a brief rally above $87,000 earlier in the week. The decline coincided with the US 10-year Treasury yield climbing to 5.11%—its highest close since 2007—after a stronger-than-expected PMI report. The CME FedWatch tool showed a 75.3% probability of an October Federal Reserve rate hike, up sharply from the prior day. The US Treasury also announced a $6 billion buyback of long-dated bonds.
Why it matters: The sharp rise in Treasury yields has exerted pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Despite the macro-driven selloff, some analysts note that Bitcoin has remained relatively resilient compared to previous rate spikes. The interplay between monetary policy, bond markets, and crypto valuations remains a key theme as investors assess the impact of higher-for-longer interest rates.
