Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $85,000 on Friday as the 10-year Treasury yield stayed above 5%, putting renewed pressure on risk assets sensitive to interest-rate expectations.

Bitcoin’s Sept. 25 daily price was $84,206.03, with a high of $84,861.13 and a low of $84,047.88. The 10-year Treasury yield was 5.11% on Sept. 23.

The move coincided with stronger U.S. business activity. The flash U.S. Composite PMI rose to 58.4 in September from 56.0 in August, marking its strongest reading since July 2021.

Resilient growth and continued price pressures can reduce expectations for near-term monetary easing. Higher Treasury yields also increase the return available from conventional dollar assets, raising the relative hurdle for speculative investments such as Bitcoin.

The latest pullback underscores how quickly Bitcoin’s rebound can face pressure when markets reassess the path for interest rates. The available data do not establish that the PMI release directly caused Bitcoin’s decline.
