Will Bitcoin be at or above $79,000 on Sep 4?
Bitcoin faces resistance at $79,000 after repeated pullbacks, so a September 4 price at or above the threshold is a meaningful underdog.
The settlement-basis price of $78,921 is only about 0.10% below the threshold, and Bitcoin recently rebounded from below $77,000 and traded above $79,000. Visible evidence still leans against an above-threshold settlement because $79,000 has acted as resistance, bullish momentum has eased, and recent macro news triggered a sharp reversal. The threshold remains within an ordinary short-term move, but a below-threshold finish is more likely.
- The threshold itself is an immediate resistance level, with another rejection zone nearby.On August 30, immediate resistance was assessed around $79,000, followed by the recent $81,000 rejection area.
