Bitcoin Holds Above $81,000 Amid Warning Signs of Momentum Fatigue

The Bitcoin price has stabilized at $81,137 as of September 4, 2026, and is currently holding above every major daily moving average.

Despite this bullish surface, momentum indicators are flashing warnings that traders should not ignore. The daily RSI has reached 72.4, signaling momentum that is edging into overbought territory without yet reversing.

The 1H MACD histogram has turned negative at -143.58, indicating a bearish momentum signal embedded within an otherwise bullish price structure.

Renewed institutional demand adds weight to the bullish case, with Strategy resuming its Bitcoin buying after a two-month pause and deploying $370 million as reported by Bloomberg.
