BTC breaks resistance, eyes $85K–$95K range

The crypto market continues its upward trajectory, gaining a further 3.6% to $2.90T over the past 24 hours. Since its low point in early August, market capitalisation has risen by 38%. On the other hand, following such impressive growth, the market has only just managed to reach the support zone where it had been trading from last November until the end of January this year. Interestingly, the performance of altcoins has been more varied than on Monday, with signs of short-term profit-taking in certain coins. The top performers were Dogecoin (+11.7%), VeChain (+6.8%) and Stellar (+6.4%). Declines were recorded by Avalanche (−7%), Tezos (−2.4%) and SushiSwap (−0.4%).

The sentiment index soared to 78 (extreme greed), its highest level since July last year. Earlier last week, the indicator remained in the upper half of the scale, having been in the lower half since October 2025. This marked shift in sentiment complements the strong upward momentum in cryptocurrency prices since mid-August.

🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📈 A moderately positive trend is prevailing in pre-market trading in the US stock market.

In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is up 0.38%.

In the Information Technology sector, Microsoft (MSFT) is up 1.22%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is down 0.54%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is up 0.74%.

In the Energy sector, Exxon Mobil (XOM) is down 1.32%, while Chevron (CVX) is down 1.17%.

Given that the segment of the largest IT companies by market capitalisation is showing steady growth, the market sentiment is leaning toward risk-on: interest in risky assets remains strong, while demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset remains subdued.

In this scenario, the foreign exchange market is likely to see a neutral or slight correction in the dollar.

▶️ Pro News Flash: Gold Defies the Fed

🥇 Gold is showing remarkable resilience despite the Fed’s rate hikes and Kevin Warsh’s hawkish rhetoric. Strong investment demand and a surge in Chinese imports are helping the precious metal hold its ground.

📈 The Fed’s tightening and renewed confidence in U.S. assets have weakened the debasement trade, but gold has proven it can perform even during aggressive rate hikes. Chinese imports surged by 1,000 tonnes between January and August, already exceeding the total for 2025.

🏦 Gold ETF holdings have also risen for 8 straight days, reaching 100.4 million ounces, the highest level since early March. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered expects gold to average $4,650 per ounce in Q4 as investors focus more on de-dollarisation, currency devaluation and fiscal risks.

🎯 With concerns around U.S. fiscal policy still in focus, gold could remain supported even as the Fed tightens. The question is whether the precious metal can push higher from here.

Crypto: traders want more risk

The crypto market capitalisation rose by a further 1.7% to $2.95T, briefly exceeding the $3T mark. Altcoins remain the driving force, but the wave of growth has now spread to smaller coins, while BTC, ETH, and BNB have gained less than 0.5% over this period. Bitcoin Cash (+34%), Uniswap (+15%) and The Graph (+12.8%) have surged over the past day. The worst performers over the same period were Tron (−1.4%), Tezos (−0.1%) and Algorand (−0.1%).

Bitcoin is trading at around $86.2K on Wednesday morning, having matched Monday’s intraday highs of $87.3K, but facing similar selling pressure. Optimism in the altcoin market and in equities suggests that we are witnessing a temporary shift of speculative capital from the leading cryptocurrency into altcoins. Many investors had parked their cryptocurrency-allocated capital in the most liquid asset class and are now seeking more profitable opportunities. In such situations, there has previously been a slowdown but not a reversal in BTC, as price pullbacks have attracted new buyers who had previously kept their money out of the risky crypto market. This is a typical cyclical rise driven by a growing appetite for risk in search of higher returns.

🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📈 Pre-market trading in the US stock market is mixed, with a slight upward bias.

In the Financials sector, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is up 0.31%, while Bank of America (BAC) is down 0.18%.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 0.67%, while Apple (AAPL) is up 0.41%.

In the Energy sector, Exxon Mobil (XOM) is up 0.96%, while Chevron (CVX) is up 0.77%.

Overall, a moderate risk-on sentiment prevails: interest in major US stocks is supporting risk demand, so in the short term, the dollar is unlikely to gain significant momentum as a safe-haven asset; its performance remains largely neutral and will depend on incoming macroeconomic and monetary data.
