PublishedAug 26
A direct August 26 reference price sits just above the cutoff after strong inflows and momentum, so a qualifying Bitcoin price is favored.
Bitcoin entered August 26 marginally above the required level after a powerful rally supported by exchange-traded fund inflows, lower Treasury yields and forced short covering. That position favors a qualifying price, but the tiny cushion, wide recent trading range and signs of overheating leave substantial room for an abrupt reversal.
Points to YES
- A direct real-time reference price was already slightly above the required level, putting Bitcoin on the qualifying side while leaving almost no cushion against ordinary volatility.At 04:29 GMT on August 26, the Nasdaq Bitcoin Reference Price Real-Time Index stood at $79,002.88.
- Strong recent momentum makes another move above the threshold easier even if Bitcoin briefly falls below it.Late on August 25, Bitcoin was reported near $80,000 after gaining almost 30% during August.
- Renewed exchange-traded fund demand supplies buying pressure that can absorb profit-taking and support a qualifying price.By August 25, a six-day U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflow streak had reached $2.26 billion, including $338 million on the latest reported day.
Points to NO
- The threshold lies well inside Bitcoin's recent daily range, so routine volatility can erase the current advantage before the relevant observation.On August 25, Bitcoin traded between $77,870.63 and $81,235.03 before closing at $78,564.98.
- Extreme short-term momentum readings increase the risk that traders take profits, causing a pullback through the nearby cutoff.On August 25, Bitcoin's daily relative-strength index reached 82.93, its highest reading since November 2024.
