Bitcoin Price Pounds the $87K Wall as Bulls Refuse to Back Down

Bitcoin’s price has climbed back within striking distance of $87,374, but the market is arriving at the door with less technical certainty than the price alone suggests. At roughly $86,256 on Tuesday morning, Oct. 6 at 8:20 a.m., the daily and 4-hour structures remain pointed higher, and the moving-average board overwhelmingly favors the bulls, yet the 1-hour chart is showing friction just beneath resistance, leaving $87,000 to $87,374 as the line separating another rejection from a genuine breakout.
