The CFTC\u2019s move comes days after the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a proposal enabling advisers and regulated funds to custody crypto assets.<\/p>\n<p>According to the daily price chart, bitcoin\u2019s recovery to $86,000 began moments after a sell-off before midday Monday wiped out $1,000 from the cryptocurrency, briefly dragging the price below $85,000. From that moment, bitcoin\u2019s price began the first of two rallying waves that pushed it to a session peak of $86,046.<\/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>Yet as soon as it reclaimed this threshold, selling pressure drove the price downward until it reached $85,150, where the second rally began. Unlike the first rally, during which the price barely cleared $86,000, the second rally saw it top $86,450 before consolidating above $86,200.<\/p>\n<p>By 1:15 p.m. EST, Bitcoin had pulled back to around $85,500, bringing its market capitalization to nearly $1.72 trillion. The modest gains kept the cryptocurrency in the green, nearly six days after entering October trading at roughly $83,700.<\/p>\n<p>On the derivatives front, tight price action drastically reduced total bitcoin position liquidations, from $109 million 24 hours earlier to $30 million on Tuesday. Wiped-out long bets topped $13 million, compared with nearly $17 million in short bets. Across the broader market, long liquidations reached $73 million, compared with over $76 million in short bets.<\/p>\n<h2>CFTC Proposal Draws Praise for Framing, Caution Over Protections<\/h2>\n<p>While the CFTC\u2019s move to establish crypto rules was expected following Congress\u2019s failure to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/regulation-and-legal\/waters-and-emmer-clash-over-clarity-act-failure-and-trump-deals\/\">pass the CLARITY Act<\/a>, the framing of its advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) has been hailed as clever by some observers. Journalist Eleanor Terrett <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EleanorTerrett\/status\/2107470027926700373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">explained in a post<\/a> on X that lawyers she spoke to view the agency\u2019s reading of Section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act as creative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could cover retail crypto spot trades where leverage, margin or financing is offered, even if the customer doesn\u2019t take it,\u201d Terrett said. \u201cThat builds on the Bitnomial precedent former Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham\u2019s CFTC established in 2025 using Section 2(c)(2)(D) to bring spot crypto trades offered with leverage onto a CFTC-regulated exchange, even when the customer doesn\u2019t borrow\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Still, enthusiasm for the proposal has been tempered by a lack of clarity on bankruptcy protections for customer assets, and whether they would mirror those in the CLARITY Act.<\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming CPI Data to Test \u2018Uptober\u2019 Narrative<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bitfinex analysts point to the upcoming consumer price index report as another critical <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/price-predictions\/uptober-hype-shaky-bitcoin-most-predictable-months-keep-failing\/\">test for the \u2018Uptober\u2019 narrative<\/a>, irrespective of regulatory developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConditions turn more supportive for crypto if core CPI shows signs of slowing, weakening the case for a December rate hike,\u201d Bitfinex analysts said in a note. \u201cThey turn less supportive if core inflation holds or rises while spending stays firm, which would put a December hike back at the center of the rate outlook.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They also expect bitcoin\u2019s price to spend the week between $84,000 and the $87,722 yearly open without breaking out in either direction. However, should it close below $84,000, it would end the range without necessarily ending the recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween $84,000 and $81,300, bitcoin would be retesting the September breakout level, with less than 70 percent of supply in profit and, below $82,600, ETF holders back underwater,\u201d the analysts asserted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would expect slower inflows and a later upside resolution, not a change in direction,\u201d they continued, \u201cprovided ETF flows remain flat to positive and short-term holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) holds above 1.0.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
