Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies extended their declines as rising Treasury yields and increased expectations for interest-rate hikes pressured risk assets. Bitcoin fell 1.20% to $82,930.28 at 9:24 p.m. EDT after failing to sustain a move above $84,000, extending its retreat from a weekly high above $87,000. More than $530 million in crypto positions, predominantly bullish long positions, were liquidated over 24 hours, while Bitcoin open interest fell 2.21%. Separately, Lookonchain reported that a wallet dormant for more than four years transferred 4,500 BTC worth $378.79 million; the move, similar to a September 25 transfer, raised questions about repositioning or potential selling but did not confirm that selling was occurring. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reached 5.23%, its highest level since June 2007, while traders priced in a 71% chance of another 25-basis-point rate hike in October. Analysts identified potential bullish signals if Bitcoin holds $82,000 and reclaims $84,000. Bitcoin ETF inflows exceeded $2 billion for the month, September’s return was 6%, and its exchange balance reached a four-month low. Ethereum, XRP, Solana and Dogecoin also declined, although Hedera, Algorand and Chainlink posted gains.
