Bitcoin Surges Past $82k, Faces Weak Demand Ahead

Bitcoin's price briefly surged past $82,000 on September 3rd due to comments from Federal Reserve Governor Waller supporting steady interest rates and a large influx of capital into spot Bitcoin ETFs. The total inflow reached $730.8 million.

The rally was short-lived as the cryptocurrency struggled to maintain its position above its 365-day moving average, which is often seen as a historical bull market trigger. On-chain data suggests that demand for Bitcoin has weakened near key resistance levels.

Analysts warn of potential price drops if support levels fail, particularly given upcoming events like the FOMC meeting and U.S. Senate vote in mid-September. They predict a possible drop to $66,900 if the market fails to hold current levels.
