what happened
According to Cointelegraph, bitcoin moved back to $83,000 after the Tuesday Wall Street open, as US equities advanced on third-quarter earnings that beat forecasts. Bitcoin rose as much as 1.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.2% to levels last seen on September 14. General Motors and 3M both beat earnings expectations, and 3M also raised its profit outlook.
WTI crude briefly topped $100 per barrel for the first time since September 17 early in the day, then dropped below $96 as the US session began. Bitcoin tested the 21-day simple moving average at $83,230, and CoinGlass data showed exchange open interest reached $53.86 billion.
why it matters
For markets, the move reflected easing sentiment after last week's tech-led sell-off and a pullback in crude. Analyst Keith Alan said a defense of the 50-day moving average at $81,570 would be a key sign of overall demand.

Bitcoin and US stocks: earnings above forecasts support risk appetite; Oil: WTI's pullback below $96 eases pressure
