The U.S. equity market opened lower after futures fell during Asian trading, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite quickly turned green, ending the day with gains of less than 0.5%. The rebound came as investors sought to escape the negative spill‑over from the KOSPI, which finished the day down 5.4% after a 7.4% decline over two days.
Macro‑Headwinds
CryptoQuant warned that a stronger U.S. dollar could constrain Bitcoin’s upside. The U.S. dollar index (DXY) rose 5.5% since September 9, reaching 102.57 – its highest level since April 2025 – and has weakened the traditional inverse correlation between DXY and BTC.
Liquidity Constraints
According to CoinGlass, Bitcoin’s price action was caged by exchange order‑book liquidity, which acted as resistance above $84,000. Damien Boey of Wilson Asset Management noted that rising bond yields and volatility were filtering through asset pricing across the board.
