This weekly Bitcoin outlook covers Oct 5 to Oct 11, 2026. BTC/USD is bullish relative to its $86,347 pivot at $86,059, and all four majors lean bullish. Below: the levels, the risks, and what would change the picture.
What is a floor pivot?
Weekly pivot points compress last week's range into a map for the next one. The pivot is the fulcrum, R1/R2 are the upside hurdles and S1/S2 the downside floors, which makes them natural spots to plan entries, exits and stops.
