Will Bitcoin be at or above $80,000 on Sep 4?
Bitcoin sits just below the threshold with hours remaining after trading above it earlier, so a September 4 settlement at $80,000 or higher is genuinely close.
The current settlement-basis price is $79,337.50, only 0.84% below the threshold with several hours remaining. Earlier September 4 readings above $81,000 demonstrate ample room for another crossing, but inconsistent fund flows, limited fresh buying, and repeated failures to hold $80,000 weaken the case. The outcome is genuinely close, with a settlement at or above $80,000 marginally more likely than one below it.
