Resistance: $80,000 to $81,500
Majors (last session): ETH ~$2,446 | XRP ~$1.37 | SOL ~$103
CONTEXT THAT MATTERS
August was Bitcoin's strongest month of 2026, up roughly 24%. US spot BTC ETFs pulled in close to $2 billion in a single week, the best of the year. But those funds are still more than $2.5 billion in the red year to date. One good week does not undo eight bad months.
BTC also remains about 37% below its all-time high of $126,080.
ON THE CALENDAR
Roughly $1.5B in token unlocks hits the market this week:
- SUI: 13.53M tokens today (~$9.7M)
- ENA: 40.63M tokens tomorrow
- HYPE: 9.92M tokens on 6 September (~$797M)
Mid-September is the real pressure point. A Senate vote, a Fed policy decision, and quadruple witching all land within days of each other.
