BTC USD Fights For $85K: Bitcoin Price Prediction Says $90K Still in Play

Bitcoin is trading at $85,954, down 0.8% on the day after briefly tagging $86,922 earlier in the session.

That pullback from the highs isn’t noise, it’s happening right inside a supply zone that onchain analysts have flagged as the single biggest test of this recovery’s staying power.

What’s underneath that $86K ceiling might determine whether the next leg is $100K or a retreat to the low $80,000s.The catalyst was $1.26Bn in net inflows into U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday, the largest single-day haul in roughly 11 months, with BlackRock’s IBIT alone pulling in $381.4 million.
