Bitcoin Today — October 1, 2026
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $83,700 today, with the price up roughly 0.5–0.7% over the past 24 hours, depending on the exchange. Binance currently reports approximately $83,743, with a 24-hour high near $85,600 and low around $82,928.
Bitcoin recently moved above $85,000 after U.S. inflation data came in cooler than expected. The August PCE inflation rate was 3.4% year-over-year, below the 3.7% expectation, while core inflation was 3.0% versus an expected 3.3%. The data reduced some expectations of an October Federal Reserve rate hike, helping risk assets including Bitcoin.
However, BTC has struggled to maintain the move above $85,000 and has returned toward the $83,000–$84,000 area. This suggests traders are watching whether Bitcoin can establish stronger support before attempting another move higher.
Institutional activity also remains important. Strategy recently announced another $142.7 million Bitcoin purchase, following a larger purchase the previous week.
For traders and investors, today's key areas to monitor are $85,000 resistance and the $83,000 region. A sustained move above resistance could attract additional attention, while a break below nearby support could increase short-term volatility.
As always, Bitcoin remains highly volatile, so price movements over a single day should not be treated as a guaranteed indication of the next move.$NVDAB $AAPLB $NVDA.US
