Traduzindo…
  • Expectations for further gains are building as Bitcoin approaches $80,000, while the market has seen the largest short liquidation since 2021 and more than $1 billion of net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs.
  • Investor sentiment is being supported by the CLARITY Act, an easing regulatory risk premium, and the potential entry of institutional investors, helping draw fresh buying interest into the crypto market.
  • Caution remains warranted because Bitcoin is still about 43% below its all-time high, the RSI has entered overbought territory, and the key question is whether actual buying demand will continue after the effect of short liquidations fades.

Forecast Trend Report by Period

Bitcoin is nearing $80,000, fueling expectations that the rally in digital assets may have further to run.

Bloomberg reported on Aug. 23 that Bitcoin approached $80,000 after posting its strongest weekly gain in years over the past seven days. The token has staged a steep rebound in a short span after months of declines, rapidly shifting market sentiment.

A shift in the US bond market was a key catalyst for the move. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he plans to at least double long-term Treasury buybacks. Long-dated Treasury yields briefly fell and the dollar weakened, while gold climbed, putting the so-called debasement trade back in focus.
