Core Reasons

  • BTC is testing its declining 50-week moving average near $80K.
  • Crypto ETF flows shifted strongly positive from mid-August.
  • ETH reclaimed key daily trend levels and showed cleaner relative structure than BTC.
  • Combined USDT and USDC supply had not confirmed sustained expansion.
  • Macro liquidity remained restrictive while credit showed no systemic stress.

Timeline & Price Zones

  • Next 1–3 weeks: BTC must resolve the $80K–$83K resistance zone.
  • September 2026: Watch inflation, labor data, bond yields, and Federal Reserve policy expectations.
  • Q4 2026: Sustained resistance acceptance and improving liquidity could support an early-bull regime.

BTC

Invalidation

Upgrade on weekly BTC acceptance above $80K–$83K with improving liquidity; downgrade after a loss of $74K–$75K.
