🌍 Macro
Stronger-than-expected U.S. September PMI at 58.4, the fastest expansion since 2021, sharply increased expectations for further Fed tightening. The probability of a 25-bp October rate hike rose to 69.7%, while the 10-year Treasury yield moved back above 5%. Higher yields pressured risk assets, sending U.S. equities, gold and silver lower. BTC retreated from $87K, briefly broke below $84K, and found support around $83.6K–$83.8K before recovering toward $84.4K.

🧠 Market Take
BTC has shifted from high-level consolidation into a weaker recovery phase following the sharp pullback from $87K. Strong-volume buying appeared around $83.6K–$83.8K, but the rebound lacked momentum and BTC has since returned toward $84K.
Higher Treasury yields remain the key macro headwind, with the 10-year yield back above 5% and the 5-year yield reaching 5.032%, its highest level since 2007. The stronger PMI and rising rate-hike expectations are increasing pressure on non-yielding assets.
Meanwhile, traditional finance and crypto infrastructure continue to converge. MoonPay plans to acquire North Capital for more than $60M, strengthening its regulatory capabilities for private and tokenized securities. NYSE and [Blockchain.com](http://Blockchain.com) also signed an MOU to explore tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs with fractional ownership and on-chain settlement.
Key levels:
* Resistance: $84.4K–$85K
* Support: $83.6K–$83.8K
* Trend: Weak recovery / short-term bearish pressure
Holding $83.6K–$83.8K would help stabilize the structure, while a break below this zone could extend the pullback.

⚡ Quick Take
BTC is stabilizing around $84K after the sharp pullback from $87K, but the short-term structure has weakened as rising Treasury yields and stronger-than-expected PMI increase rate-hike expectations. $83.6K–$83.8K is the key support zone to watch. Meanwhile, the continued expansion of tokenized-equity infrastructure highlights a separate structural trend across traditional finance and crypto, even as broader risk assets face renewed rate pressure.
