Regulatory and Institutional Developments

Large financial firms have reopened or expanded access to Bitcoin ETFs, potentially increasing market participation.
Major U.S. wealth platforms have begun allowing advisers to recommend Bitcoin ETF allocations.

Market Context

Analysts describe the current move as a strong rebound fueled by positive policy developments, improved institutional access, and expectations around upcoming monetary policy decisions. December rate-cut expectations are mostly priced in, with markets increasingly focused on the outlook for 2026.

BTC is approaching a key resistance band between $93,000–$95,000, an area last tested in April. A break above this zone could set up a move toward $98,000, then a retest of $100,000, and potentially the 50-week SMA near $102,000.

BTC has held above important support at $82,000 and has reclaimed the $89,000 cost basis level for ETF participants.
