Bitcoin traded near $78,400 on August 31, marking a roughly 24% gain in August, its strongest monthly performance since 2017. This rally was supported by $1.92 billion inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and $6.55 billion in short liquidations across the crypto market. The U.S. Treasury's plan to double bond buybacks starting September 9 adds a supportive macro backdrop, though upcoming Federal Reserve rate decisions and September jobs data could impact momentum. Bitcoin must reclaim $80,000 to maintain its bullish trend and confirm the rally's sustainability.
