Gold fell 3% due to rising Treasury yields, a stronger dollar, and increased bets on Federal Reserve rate hikes. Analyst Dan Khus attributed Bitcoin's pullback to profit-taking and liquidations following a recent rally. Key support levels for BTC are at $81,549 and $79,757, with future price action dependent on upcoming PCE inflation data and payrolls reports."

# Bitcoin Falls to $83,000 as Gold Plunges 3% on Fresh Oil Price Surge

**Bitcoin** (CRYPTO: BTC) is down 1.5% Monday morning as gold, measured by **SPDR Gold Shares** (NASDAQ:GLD), slid 3% against the backdrop of a renewed surge in oil prices.

Brent crude climbed toward $108 a barrel after Tehran refused to soften its demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. 

Meanwhile, President **Donald Trump** sent mixed signals on further talks. Treasuries then sold off across the curve, with the five-year yield rising seven basis points to 5.06% as traders added to rate-hike bets ahead of Wednesday’s PCE inflation reading. Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 1%.

LVRG Research chief analyst Dan Khus blamed a pileup of pressures for Bitcoin’s slide. “Bitcoin’s pullback from last week’s highs is more likely a risk-off squeeze following a sharp four-day rally, profit-taking, and a $500 million-plus liquidation wave,” Khus told CoinDesk.

He added that Wednesday’s PCE and Friday’s payrolls will decide whether Bitcoin reclaims the mid-$80,000s.

### Why Gold Is Falling Too

Gold posted its biggest drop in a month, and silver fell alongside it. Four forces are weighing on both metals:

-   Fed hike bets — CME FedWatch shows a roughly 70% chance of an October hike, and metals pay no interest
-   Bond yields — the 10-year Treasury yield hit 5.20%
-   Stronger dollar — the US Dollar Index reached 101.39, a two-month high

### BTC Price Analysis: Key Levels to Watch

BTC is drifting toward the midline of the ascending channel that has guided price higher since the mid-August breakout. 

However, EMAs remain stacked bullish, so the move looks like a controlled pullback rather than a trend break.

-   Resistance: $86,853 (recent high), then $90,000 (channel top)
-   Support: $81,549 (20-day EMA), then $79,757 (SAR)
