Bitcoin stalls near $86,000 as $87,000 sell wall halts gains despite U.S. stocks record highs

Bitcoin traded around $86,000 on Tuesday, trying to regain $87,000, but upside momentum remained limited as sell orders accumulated on exchanges. The move came as major U.S. stock indexes hit record highs after expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes in the fourth quarter of 2026 eased. Data showed Bitcoin’s correlation with the S&P 500 rose to 0.51 as of Oct. 2, the highest since early June. Traders watched resistance near $87,000 and support around $83,500.
