Bitcoin Touches $86,994 on October 5 Before an OKX Close at $86,004

Bitcoin’s October 5 daily high on the OKX price-history table printed at $86,994.30. The same row listed an open of $85,260.00, a low of $85,180.40, and a close of $86,004.10, with volume of $358.90 million. That close is $744.10 above the October 4 close of $85,260.00 on the same board.

CoinDesk, writing in Monday Asian hours, put the peak just shy of $86,950 and the later print just under $86,000, still up 1.3% over 24 hours. The two desks are not stamping the same minute. Both show a Monday push that failed to clear the late-September area CoinDesk called an eight-month high near $87,400. OKX’s October 2 high was already $87,238.30, so the $87,000 handle is not a new line on that table.

Dogecoin led the majors on the CoinDesk screen, up more than 3% to just under 10 cents. XRP, BNB, and ZEC added between 1% and 2%. Ether and HYPE were up less than 1%.

How far is $86,994 from the late-September high?

On CoinDesk’s count, Monday stopped about $500 short of the late-September peak and finished the reported window roughly $1,300 under $87,400. OKX’s October 5 high is $244 under that desk’s October 2 high of $87,238.30. Sunday, October 4, never left a $84,549.80 to $85,481.70 band on OKX. The Monday range is wider: $85,180.40 to $86,994.30, about $1,814.

CoinDesk tied the climb to Friday’s softer U.S. jobs report and a lower 10-year Treasury yield. That is a rates story, not a new supply number. Spot ETF creations for Monday were not in either file at the time of this note. The last completed weekday flow still belongs to the October 2 session covered here.

What to watch next

Whether Monday’s U.S. session file holds a close above $86,000 after the Asia fade, and whether the October 2 high of $87,238.30 on OKX gets a second test. A miss leaves $85,180 — Monday’s OKX low — as the nearer reference.
