Will Bitcoin be at or above $76,500 on Sep 4?
Bitcoin remains above the threshold and institutional demand is absorbing supply, so a September 4 price at or above $76,500 is favored but far from guaranteed.
The settlement-basis price is about $77,129, only 0.82% above the $76,500 threshold. Strong August ETF inflows, spot-led demand and bullish moving averages support the price, while cooling momentum, rising bond yields and recent sharp liquidations leave substantial downside risk. With Bitcoin still above the threshold and institutional buying absorbing supply, a September 4 price at or above $76,500 is favored but far from guaranteed.
