Bitfinex analysts noted that the average cost of investment for active network participants is $76,650. Bitcoin was approaching this level, dropping to $76,400, after which buyers appeared. This allowed some investors who bought in February and March to break even. Experts also reminded about the seasonal factor: September is historically considered a weak month for Bitcoin, with an average return of −2.95% since 2013. In their view, a possible intra‑month correction could increase the likelihood of continued growth on higher timeframes.
Against the macroeconomic backdrop, the yield on ten‑year US Treasury bonds rose above 4.8%, reaching a new high since 2023. The dollar index strengthened slightly below 100. The stock market reacted cautiously: the S&P 500 closed at 7,646, and the Dow Jones gained about 277 points. Gold stopped near $4,418. According to CME FedWatch data, the probability of a quarter‑point rate hike by the Fed on September 16 is slightly over 62%. The day before, the figure was above 67%, and a week ago it was about 37%. Futures do not anticipate a rate cut.
The next important event will be the Friday report on employment in the non‑agricultural sector. In the options market, protection against a decline is concentrated in the range of $68,000–75,000 for the period until the release of the consumer price index data on September 11. Growth potential remains due to call options above the current range, and the perpetual leverage is noticeably lower than the August peak.
