**Bitcoin climbs 23% in August and overtakes gold and stocks**
This topic is ramping up fast today, and for good reason: Bitcoin closed August with a performance of **+23%**, beating gold and traditional indexes in a month when the macro backdrop was in turmoil.
What’s interesting isn’t just the number. It did it while the dollar was rising, rates remained high, and traditional markets showed weakness. That reinforces the decoupling narrative many are looking for, but it also raises a question: is this sustainable, or was it a rally driven by short liquidations and tactical positioning?
The current context isn’t the same as in August. Today, Bitcoin trades at **78,908**, with a daily and weekly bearish bias, rebounding from a liquidity sweep at **76,947**. Price holds up, but the technical structure remains under pressure until it breaks larger resistances like **79,384** or **81,500**.
The comparison with gold and stocks is valid, but you have to look beyond the headline. August was strong, yes. Will September and October confirm that trend, or will they give back some of those gains?
Do you think Bitcoin can sustain this relative performance, or is the current bounce just a pause before seeking liquidity lower down? Share your take in the comments.
