Bitcoin Holds Above $78K — But the Fed Could Decide What Happens Next

Bitcoin is showing impressive resilience after a massive 24% rally in August, its strongest monthly performance since November 2024. BTC is currently holding above $78,000, while most major altcoins are under pressure.

Market Snapshot:

Bitcoin: ~$78,400 — mostly flat over 24H
Ξ Ethereum: ~$2,440 — down ~1%
Solana: ~$104 — down ~1%
XRP: ~$1.40
BNB: ~$693
HYPE: ~$84 — up ~4%
TRX & DOGE: down ~2%

One interesting factor: Strategy recently bought around $370M worth of Bitcoin, its first purchase in roughly two months. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their strongest week of demand since October 2025.

But there’s a major risk ahead. 📉

Oil prices are rising, pushing Treasury yields higher, while traders are increasingly pricing in a possible Fed rate hike at the September 16 meeting. The upcoming U.S. jobs report could become the next major catalyst for crypto.

If the jobs data comes in hotter than expected, yields could rise further and Bitcoin may retest the $77,200 area.

On the other hand, continued ETF inflows + strong spot demand could give BTC the fuel needed to challenge $82,000 and beyond.
