Bitcoin Stalls at $79,789.69 as Momentum Cools
Bitcoin has stalled near the $80,000 mark at $79,789.69 as of August 28, 2026.
The daily chart shows strong momentum, with price trading well above its moving averages and a wide gap between spot and its EMAs.
However, the hourly chart reveals early signs of fatigue, with the MACD turning mildly negative and price trading below its EMA50 support.
This consolidation is significant because Bitcoin's surge past $80,000 was rapid and headline-driven, fueled by fresh US ETF inflows.
