Bitcoin’s price has surpassed $80,000, marking a significant milestone in its recent performance. On September 3, the cryptocurrency crossed this symbolic threshold, a level it had previously only reached once in August. By 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Bitcoin had risen 3% in a single day, trading at around $80,900 according to CoinMarketCap. Analyst Simon Peters from eToro noted that recent U.S. Treasury actions—specifically, plans to double long-term bond repurchases and use a general account to support long-term bonds—have injected new liquidity into financial markets. This has benefited riskier assets like Bitcoin, which often perform well when investor confidence rises. Peters also pointed out that if inflation stays above the Federal Reserve’s target, any signs of a slowdown in economic growth in the coming months could further support Bitcoin’s price. This is because such developments might signal a potential easing of monetary policy, which typically boosts demand for riskier investments. Looking ahead, Peters predicted an "important cap" for early December 2026, based on Bitcoin’s historical four-year price cycles tied to halving events. These events occur roughly every 210,000 blocks mined, which takes about four years, and involve halving the number of new bitcoins released to miners as rewards. This process reduces the supply of new bitcoins entering the market, which historically has led to increased demand and, in turn, higher prices. Observations show that Bitcoin’s price often rises significantly around 500 days before each halving. With the next halving expected in April 2028, the 500-day period leading up to it is projected to end in early December 2026. If past trends hold, this could signal the start of a new upward trend for Bitcoin. Bitcoin has defied many expectations this summer, rising 24% in August—the strongest monthly gain since August 2017. In terms of overall performance, it is now experiencing its best month since November 2024, indicating a strong resurgence in investor confidence and market activity.
