Will Bitcoin be at or above $77,500 on Sep 4?
Bitcoin sits above $77,500 after quickly recovering from a sub-$77,000 slide, so a September 4 price at or above the threshold is favored.
Bitcoin’s current settlement-basis price of $79,126 is about 2.06% above the threshold, and its rapid recovery from below $77,000 shows buyers remain active. That cushion makes an above-threshold settlement the more likely outcome, but it is small relative to Bitcoin’s recent daily swings. Bearish technical structure, weaker fund flows, rising exchange reserves, and major scheduled and geopolitical catalysts leave substantial downside risk before settlement.
