Recent Price Action

Bitcoin’s intraday high reached $79,505 earlier in the day, falling short of the $80,000 threshold by $495 (about 0.2%). The market has attracted $5.17 million in total volume and about $1.46 million in liquidity, making it one of the more actively traded Bitcoin price events on Polymarket.

Key Economic Events

Three macroeconomic events this month could influence Bitcoin’s price trajectory:

1. U.S. jobless claims on September 10
2. U.S. August CPI release on September 11 (core inflation came in hotter than forecast)
3. Federal Open Market Committee meeting on September 15‑16 (markets anticipate a possible rate hike)

Both the jobless claims and CPI data have already been released, with the CPI reading supporting a hawkish stance. The upcoming Fed decision remains a pivotal factor for Bitcoin’s price direction before the market’s September 30 deadline.
