Overview
Bitcoin came under pressure after September U.S. producer prices rose faster than expected, prompting renewed concern that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher for longer. Reports place BTC briefly below $80,000 before a partial recovery, while analysts described the market as range-bound pending greater clarity on rates.
