BTC Eyes $86K Support Level While Crude Oil Falls Under $90 Mark
Bitcoin holds steady near $86,000 while crude oil prices fall beneath the $90 threshold for the first time since Sept. 4.
On Tuesday, Bitcoin (BTC) traded in the vicinity of $86,000 while crude-oil markets experienced their lowest price points in approximately three weeks.
Key points:
- After reaching new 33-week peaks on Monday, Bitcoin stabilized near the $86,000 mark.
- During his UN address, US president Donald Trump indicated a potential deal to conclude the Iran conflict might materialize following November's midterm elections.
- WTI crude oil fell to approximately $89 per barrel, marking its lowest point since Nov. 4, before rebounding toward $92.
Bitcoin evaluates $86,000 support resilience amid oil's decline below $90
According to TradingView data, BTC/USD volatility diminished following Bitcoin's surge to $87,350 during the previous trading session, representing its strongest performance since Jan. 29.
US equity markets exhibited sideways movement while US president Donald Trump delivered remarks at the UN General Assembly in New York. During his address to international leaders, Trump committed to negotiating a resolution to end the US-Iran war, though he indicated such an agreement would likely emerge after the US midterm elections scheduled for November.
I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to.
WTI crude oil experienced modest gains during the speech following a decline to $89.16 per barrel, representing its weakest level since Sept. 4. This downward movement was supported by news that Saudi Arabia had reactivated the East-West Pipeline, a critical oil-supply infrastructure. According to three unnamed sources cited by Reuters, achieving full capacity flow would require six to eight weeks.
Blockchain metrics suggest bear-market accumulation phase concluding
Analyzing Bitcoin's present market position, blockchain analytics firm Glassnode observed that a traditional momentum indicator had climbed above a critical long-term trendline.
The market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio for Bitcoin, which evaluates the book value of the BTC supply — its market capitalization — against the aggregate price at which it most recently transferred onchain, has now surpassed its 365-day moving average.
This is the same cross that we saw in 2019 and 2023 at the beginning of each bull market.

The MVRV ratio attempts to identify what Glassnode characterizes as "fair" value for the circulating supply — establishing whether it trades at a premium or discount relative to the price most recently paid by market participants. Elevated MVRV values indicate proportionally larger unrealized gains across wallet holdings.
The ratio presently stands at 1.62, having climbed from 1.19 on Aug. 16. It remains substantially below the 3.7 threshold that has historically signaled the profitability zone associated with bull-market peaks.
Furthermore, blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant identified a potential breakout from a several-month resistance threshold for the MVRV ratio's 30-day moving average positioned below 1.5. In a blog post, CryptoQuant determined that surpassing this level for the first time since January would signal the conclusion of an extended investor accumulation period.
CryptoQuant further stated that advancing beyond the present 1.62 level would "confirm the reversal of ongoing bear market," potentially bringing Bitcoin's all-time highs of $126,200 back into focus as a BTC price objective.
