Bitcoin (BTC) Rejected at $87K Again, Cardano (ADA) Soars 11%: Market Watch
Somewhat surprisingly, following the weekend developments on the Middle East front, BTC’s price soared to $87,000 once again but met the same rejection fate.
Most altcoins, though, including ADA, NEAR, DOGE, and HYPE, have posted notable gains over the past 24 hours. Some of the few exceptions are RAIN and QNT.
BTC Stopped at $87K Again
The primary cryptocurrency has been highly sensitive to macro news lately, including last week’s PCE data, which came out on Wednesday. As the reading showed slowing inflation, BTC skyrocketed from $83,000 to $85,600 within minutes before it was rejected and returned to its starting point.
After a quiet Thursday, bitcoin went on the offensive once again on Friday. The weak US jobs report helped the cryptocurrency gain additional traction and pushed it to over $87,000 for the first time in ten days. However, the bears were quick to reemerge. Within the next few hours, BTC crashed below $84,000, leaving nearly $600 million in liquidations.
It found some support over the weekend and climbed past $84,000. It continued its gradual ascent on Sunday to $85,000 before surging to $87,000 on Monday morning, despite warnings of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The rejection scenario repeated, and BTC dumped to under $85,500 before it bounced off slightly and now sits close to $86,000. Its market cap is up to $1.720 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts stands still at 59%.
ADA Flies
Ethereum has jumped to just over the key $2,700 resistance after a minor increase. XRP is above $1.50 as well, following a 1.2% daily rise. More impressive gains are evident from the likes of HYPE (3.5%) and DOGE (3.75%). NEAR has reclaimed the $5 level after a 5% daily increase. Cardano’s ADA has soared the most from this cohort of alts, jumping by almost 11% to $0.27.
Other notable gainers include SUI, CC, SHIB, ONDO, and especially ENA, which is up by 7.5%. Meanwhile, FET has rocketed by over 15%, while VIRTUAL is up by 12%.
The cumulative market capitalization of all crypto assets has gained 1% and is up to $2.930 trillion on CMC.

BUZZ - Broker perspectives: Schneider - The rationale for PTC trading is "clear," but AI, integration, and financing pressures are imminent
October 5th - Schneider Electric (SCHN.PA) will acquire US software company PTC (PTC.O) for $22.6 billions, marking the company’s largest deal ever and signifying its further commitment to the industrial artificial intelligence sector. The announcement of the deal, which includes raising substantial equity and debt financing, led to a roughly 9% drop in Schneider’s share price; however, analysts generally recognized the logic behind this move amid AI anxieties and execution risks. Jefferies analysts noted there is a “very clear” strategic rationale, as it fills one of the remaining gaps in Schneider’s software portfolio. JPMorgan pointed out that this “complementary” fit should also help ease antitrust scrutiny. Baird added that, among all bidders, Schneider Electric’s industrial rationale is the strongest. However, both Jefferies and RBC highlighted the industry’s concerns about disruption from artificial intelligence—concerns that allowed Schneider to acquire PTC at its lowest valuation in a decade—which could potentially affect the French company’s share price post-deal. RBC added that the significant debt needed to finance the transaction may reignite worries over Schneider’s longstanding spending issues. JPMorgan noted the complexity of the integration process, pointing out that large-scale M&A typically receives a lukewarm response in Europe, “even though Schneider Electric’s deals have generally proven to be strategically farsighted.” (For readers who are not native English speakers, Reuters has provided automated translation of its reports in several languages for convenience.
