$BTC today, Sep 11 2026*:
Price & Market
- *Bitcoin is hovering around $78,000 - $79,300* after a dip earlier this week. It briefly fell below $78,000, then recovered.
- Traders are watching the *$80K level* as key resistance, with support around $75K.
- The drop is tied to caution ahead of the *Fed rate decision Sept 15-16*. Markets are pricing ∼57-58% odds of a rate hike. Higher yields and jobs data beating expectations have kept pressure on risk assets.
