Aug 31 forecast
$78,501 spot leaves Bitcoin below the threshold with only hours remaining, so a $78,750-or-higher August 31 settlement is unlikely but still live.
Current evidence leans against a $78,750-or-higher settlement: Bitcoin is slightly below the threshold, most recent exchange quotes were weaker, and little time remains. However, the gap is only 0.32%, while the same day’s rebound and $79,347 high show that ordinary intraday volatility could still carry Bitcoin across it.
Points to NO
- Bitcoin remains slightly below the required level late in the settlement window.Bitcoin was priced at $78,522.00 at 22:45:40 UTC on August 31, 2026.
- Major-exchange quotes were broadly below $78,750, indicating weakness was not confined to one venue.Between 15:28 and 15:33 UTC on August 31, reported trades across major exchanges ranged from $78,329.10 to $78,489.
- A reversal in spot Bitcoin fund flows adds a modest near-term headwind.Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds recorded outflows on August 30 after nine consecutive days of inflows.
Points to YES
- Same-day trading has already cleared the threshold, demonstrating enough volatility to produce a qualifying price.Bitcoin’s 24-hour high was $79,347.00 as of 22:45:40 UTC on August 31, 2026.
- Bitcoin recovered sharply from an intraday selloff, preserving a credible path to another upward move.Bitcoin recovered toward $79,000 on August 31 after falling below $77,000 earlier that day.
