<p>The Bitcoin price is still in a range from $83K up to $87K. Wednesday’s PCE inflation data is released later in the day. Could this change things for the $BTC price?</p>
<h2 id="a-hot-or-cool-core-pce-print">A hot or cool Core PCE print?</h2>
<p>The PCE Price Index (Personal Consumption Expenditures) is what the Federal Reserve uses to measure inflation, hoping to see this figure come down to the Holy Grail of 2%. The index tracks the prices of U.S. household goods and services, with ‘Core PCE’ (excluding food and energy) the figure the Fed relies on most.</p>
<p>A hotter than expected Core PCE figure could lead to higher bond yields and a stronger dollar, while a cooler than expected print would likely spark a rally in stocks. Bitcoin bulls will be hoping for the latter outcome.</p>

<p>Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/qHXG7lZx/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a></p>
<p>U.S. bond yields accelerated over the last week, with the 10-year yield hitting 5.293, thereby making <a href="https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2026/09/bitcoin-holds-firm-as-us-10-year-yield-nears-19-year-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a 19-year higher high</a> in the process. It looks as though the 10-year yield may be on its way back down again now, with 5% a possible target, although the current volatile phase may not be over just yet. That said, if the support at 5.2% gives way, this could do wonders for stocks, gold, and the <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC price</a>.</p>
<h2 id="btc-price-maintains-narrow-range">$BTC price maintains narrow range</h2>

<p>The 4-hour chart for <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC</a> illustrates that the price is maintaining within <a href="https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2026/09/bitcoin-holds-firm-as-us-10-year-yield-nears-19-year-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a smaller channel</a> which it entered 9 days ago. After initially climbing to the top of this channel the price has since kept to the lower half, which has kept it in a narrow range for the last week.</p>
<p>Buffeted by the strong winds of rising bond yields over this time, the <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC price</a> has held firm - more so than has been the case for stocks and precious metals. The $82,840 horizontal support, also the bottom of the parallel channel, is very important here. If the bulls are going to continue their rally, this support floor has to hold.</p>
<h2 id="a-bearish-descending-triangle">A bearish descending triangle?</h2>
<p>Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/TdYrNyuz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a></p>
<p>In the daily time frame it has to be acknowledged that the price action could be trading within <a href="https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2026/09/bitcoin-holds-firm-as-us-10-year-yield-nears-19-year-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a descending triangle</a>. This would put the <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC price</a> into more of a bearish setup given that descending triangles break to the downside more often than not. Be that as it may, if the price does break to the upside, this will make the breakout even more bullish.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The daily Stochastic RSI has its indicators passing the halfway point so it may only be a few more days before the indicators hit the bottom and start to make their way back up again, signalling upside price momentum as they pass back above the 20.00 level.</p>
<p><a href="https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2026/09/bitcoin-holds-firm-as-us-10-year-yield-nears-19-year-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The RSI has its indicator still finally balanced</a>. Falling through the descending trendline would likely signal a breakdown in price action, while bouncing higher from the trendline would probably signal a breakout.</p>
<h2 id="a-huge-inverse-head-and-shoulders-pattern-could-play-out-if-price-collapses-to-73k">A huge inverse head and shoulders pattern could play out if price collapses to $73K</h2>
<p>Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/Rqksl6Yy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a></p>
<p>The weekly chart for the <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC price</a> shows that there is absolutely nothing to worry about at all - as long as the horizontal support at $83K holds. The price coming back to test this level is perfectly normal and a bounce into next week could be the next move.</p>
<p>If we theorise that the $83K level does break down and the price corrects to the big support level at $73,600, this would likely form the right shoulder of a huge inverse head and shoulders pattern - a king of bottoming patterns. If this played out, the measured move could send the <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC price</a> up to $108K. Whichever way you look at it, this is the early stages of the bull market. It just requires patience.</p>
