Bitcoin remains below the threshold after a sharp reversal from above $81,000, so a $79,000-or-higher September 4 price is a meaningful underdog.
Bitcoin is currently about 1.46% below the strike, and its retreat from above $81,000 shows that nearby selling pressure is strong. The evidence therefore leans against a qualifying September 4 price. Still, the threshold remains within reach: Bitcoin crossed it repeatedly in late August, and the recent rally was supported by spot demand rather than rising leverage.
