$BTC On Saturday, September 6, Bitcoin traded sideways around the key psychological level of $80,000 in the morning session. As of press time, BTC/USDT was at $80,010.7, up 0.25% over the past 24 hours.
After this week’s roller-coaster price action, bulls are trying to establish a foothold here. Over the past seven days, BTC started at around $78,230 and has gained about 2% overall, marking its third consecutive weekly close in the green. But the path has been extremely volatile — early in the week it dipped to $76,258, then surged more than 5% on Wednesday to a weekly high of $82,278, with a weekly trading range as wide as $6,000. Friday’s August nonfarm payrolls report became the biggest variable of the week: payrolls increased by 162,000, nearly three times the expectation of roughly 53,000 to 56,000. After the data was released, BTC plunged $1,600 in about three minutes, breaking below the $80,000 level and touching $78,654. The strong jobs data keeps the Federal Reserve’s rate-hike option on the table. The federal funds rate has now been held steady at 3.50%-3.75% for five consecutive meetings, and the probability of a September rate hike has jumped from the low 30% range to around 65%-68%.
Despite macro headwinds, institutional buying remains exceptionally strong. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $731 million in net inflows on September 3, the strongest single-day performance since January 14; weekly inflows totaled about $987 million, and the three-week cumulative inflow has approached $3.8 billion, setting the best record for 2026. Total ETF assets have risen to about $101 billion. Corporate demand has also been active: Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought 4,603 BTC for about $370 million, bringing its total holdings to 845,050 BTC; Japanese listed company Remixpoint has also sold all of its altcoins and fully pivoted to Bitcoin.
A golden cross is approaching, but resistance above remains heavy. After being rejected at $82,200, BTC has entered high-level consolidation. The daily trend still leans bullish, but shrinking MACD red bars show that upward momentum is weakening. The market is closely watching the “golden cross” of the 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day moving average — a signal that has historically often appeared before long-term rallies. The U.S. August CPI data on September 11 and the FOMC meeting on September 15-16 will be key in determining whether the $80,000 level becomes a “launch pad” or a “ceiling of resistance.” Before macro uncertainty clears, BTC is likely to fluctuate within the $76,000-$82,200 range.
