BTC

Bitcoin's bull score has reached 90, a reading that analysts flag as a potential warning for investors betting on further price gains. The metric, tracked alongside Ethereum's price movements, suggests bullish sentiment may be stretched. Market watchers are treating the level as a possible signal that a pullback or cooling period could follow the recent rally.

Japan has climbed to fourth place worldwide in cryptocurrency adoption, according to Chainalysis's 2026 Geography of Crypto Report. Japanese commentary links the surge to growing use of stablecoins like USDT and USDC, peer-to-peer and cross-border trading, and questions about whether people are moving money out of the yen amid its continued weakness.

Bitcoin is trading at 13,162,745 yen (about $83,849), down 22,307 yen or 0.17% from the previous reading. The session ranged between a high of 13,391,253 yen and a low of 13,047,659 yen. The Fear and Greed index stands at 71, in greedy territory, suggesting investors remain optimistic despite the mild dip.

A CoinDesk Crypto Daily analysis reports that the US Dollar Index accounts for only 17% of Bitcoin's daily price movements, suggesting the greenback is a weak predictor of short-term BTC action. The finding feeds an ongoing debate among traders and analysts over which macro factors actually drive crypto prices, with many arguing that flows, sentiment and crypto-specific events matter more than traditional currency correlations.

On-chain data shows more than 32,500 Bitcoin sent to exchanges while in profit, alongside over 12,000 BTC moved at a loss. Analysts note that such transfers do not automatically mean sales, but historically they raise the probability of short-term selling pressure. Traders are watching whether this signals an imminent price correction or routine repositioning as Bitcoin's price movement keeps markets on edge.

Japan has climbed to fourth place worldwide in cryptocurrency adoption, according to Chainalysis's latest Geography of Crypto Report. The jump is drawing attention in Japan, with commentary asking whether Japanese investors are starting to move money out of the yen. Discussion points to stablecoins, bitcoin, peer-to-peer trading and cross-border transfers, linked to a weak yen and a growing drift away from the Japanese currency.

Bitcoin is trading around $83,701 (about 13.19 million yen), up roughly 1.05% on the day, after hitting an intraday high of the same level and a low near 13.05 million yen. Japanese-language market trackers are also noting a Fear and Greed reading of 71, indicating 'extreme greed' among investors.

Cryptocurrency prices quoted in Swiss francs on 30 September show minor declines, with Bitcoin at 69,815 CHF, down 0.2 percent, and Ethereum at 2,243 CHF, down 0.8 percent. Dogecoin bucked the trend, edging up 0.1 percent to 0.0793 CHF. The moves suggest a broadly flat, mildly negative session for major digital assets.

Bitcoin is testing a dense holder cost-basis zone between $84,000 and $85,000, a level analysts watch closely because large groups of investors bought there. Leverage in the market has been clearing out, while profit-taking activity is rising as price approaches the cluster. Traders are watching whether holders sell into the rally or absorb supply, which could decide bitcoin's next major move.
