Will Bitcoin be at or above $78,250 on Sep 3?
Bitcoin enters the final window below the threshold amid weak demand and risk-off pressure, so a September 3 settlement at or above $78,250 is unlikely but still live.
Bitcoin is only 0.93% below the strike, and its recent trading range has crossed $78,250, preserving a live path to a qualifying settlement. Still, it enters the final window below the threshold after negative demand readings, ETF outflows, and renewed pressure on risk assets. The most likely path is a failed push into $78,000-$79,000 resistance followed by a sub-threshold settlement, making a qualifying September 3 price unlikely but still live.
