Bitcoin Soars Past $81,000, Gains 28% in August Amid Improved Sentiment
Bitcoin surged past $81,000 on August 25, its highest level since mid-May, before retreating to near $79,000. The cryptocurrency's recent high of around $81,238 has become an important near-term resistance level for traders.
The rally has sharply improved sentiment after months of weakness, with Bitcoin gaining about 28% in August, according to Reuters. This puts it on track for its strongest monthly performance since November 2024.
The move above $80,000 also marked Bitcoin's highest level in more than three months and erased a large portion of its recent losses.
