After losing momentum following its second breach of <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-reclaims-87k-as-bull-market-momentum-builds\/\">$87,000 earlier in the week<\/a>, bitcoin gradually gave back most of its Monday gains, when it had surged by more than $5,000.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Before the volatility spike, however, the daily price chart showed that bitcoin\u2019s price was largely confined to an $84,000-to-$84,750 range, with occasional dips below or moves above those levels. Shortly after 3 a.m. EST, the trend shifted as the price dipped to just above $83,800. A relief rally then pushed it to an intraday high of $85,238 just over four hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Sentiment flipped immediately as bitcoin fell to $83,229 at approximately 10:05 a.m. EST. A subsequent relief rally carried the cryptocurrency to just under $84,000 before it gave up ground, slipping under $83,500. As of this writing, bitcoin was again pressing toward $84,000, little changed from 24 hours earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s muted price action helped cap leveraged position liquidations at $67 million, split between approximately $47 million in longs and $20 million in shorts. Across the broader crypto market, however, the ratio of wiped out longs to shorts narrowed as several altcoins trended higher, with a few posting double-digit gains. According to Coinglass data, total long liquidations exceeded $145 million, compared with $134 million in short positions.<\/p>\n<h2>Macro Forces and Geopolitical Friction Weigh on Sentiment<\/h2>\n<p>While some analysts characterize bitcoin\u2019s move over the past two days as a temporary consolidation <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bull-market-confirmed-analyst-flags-bitcoins-fifth-historic-signal\/\">preceding another rally<\/a>, others argue that broader macroeconomic forces and Middle East geopolitical friction are actively shaping its price action.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Melville, head of research at Block Scholes, said crypto and equity markets had been contending with three primary factors over the past week: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/finance\/bond-yields-24-year-high-schiff-ackman-armstrong-hayes-bitcoin\/\">rising U.S. government bond yields<\/a>, higher oil prices, and comments from Federal Reserve officials indicating that a September rate hike could mark the beginning of a new tightening cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTreasury yields across the curve have been rising, despite Treasury operations to buy back longer-dated government bonds,\u201d Melville said. \u201cYesterday, the 30-year yield rose to its highest level since 2004, while over the past two days alone, benchmark 10-year yields are up around 20 basis points. Since the beginning of the U.S.-Iran conflict alone, the two-year yield has climbed more than 150 basis points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, Brent crude has settled back above $100 per barrel despite reports of a potential phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a slew of Fed speakers this week have adopted a hawkish stance, resulting in Fed funds futures pricing in at least three rate hikes over the next year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite those pressures, Melville noted that risk assets have remained resilient, citing bitcoin\u2019s rally past $87,000 earlier in the week and U.S. equities trading near record highs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstitutional sentiment backs that resilience,\u201d Melville said, noting that spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-etfs-hit-2026-high-with-999m-inflow-as-bitcoin-price-tops-86k\/\">largest single-day inflow<\/a> earlier in the week since bitcoin\u2019s record inflow levels in October. He also pointed to Strategy making its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/strategy-buys-950-bitcoin-and-rebuilds-its-846000-btc-hoard\/\">first bitcoin purchase<\/a> in nearly a month, which he said has given crypto bulls a spring in their step.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith risk assets continuing to show resilience in the face of so much uncertainty, this makes for a good setup as we move toward the fourth quarter of 2026,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-near-84k-macro-pressures-weigh-sentiment\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin held near $84,000 on Friday after intraday volatility triggered $67 million in liquidations.
