Aug 30 forecast
Bitcoin is now barely above $78,500 with only hours remaining, so an August 30 settlement at or above the threshold is favored but far from guaranteed.
The settlement-basis price has recovered to $78,606.81, only 0.14% above the $78,500 strike with 5.8 hours remaining. Several reports earlier on August 30 placed Bitcoin below the threshold, while the retreat from above $81,000 shows that another fast reversal is plausible. Still, the current cushion and short remaining window make an above-threshold finish favored but far from guaranteed.
