Bitcoin Stays Boxed Between $78,000 and $81,000 as $40.8 Billion in Options Open Interest Pins Price Action

Bitcoin briefly fell below $78,000 overnight, touched roughly $77,600, and then returned to trade near $79,000, with the market focusing on the $78,000-$81,000 range. The report says traders are treating the area around $78,300 as near-term support, while upside levels begin at $79,500 and then $81,000-$82,000. Options positioning is a major part of that range-bound setup: BTC options open interest stands at about $40.8 billion, with a large concentration around the $78,000 and $81,000 strikes. In the report’s framing, market makers tend to sell BTC as price approaches $81,000 and buy BTC as it nears $78,000, effectively keeping spot in a narrow band. Signals outside derivatives are mixed. Coin Bureau pointed to Bitcoin’s first golden cross since November 2025, with the 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day moving average, while Benjamin Cowen said the more important test is whether BTC can print a higher high and reclaim the 50-week moving average. On-chain indicators remain more restrained. CryptoQuant said MVRV is approaching a key test at the 365-day moving average, and ARK Invest analyst David Puell said the market still needs a higher high and a higher low to confirm a true bottom. The report also cited Murphy’s research showing that long-term holders control about 14.74 million BTC, or roughly 74% of supply in circulation, a structure that may limit the chance of an extreme drop toward $30,000-$40,000 unless those holders start selling at scale.

Taoyuan prosecutors indict seven in alleged USDT-priced human trafficking scheme tied to organ harvesting plan

Prosecutors in Taoyuan have indicted seven people in a case involving an alleged human trafficking ring that used job ads on Facebook and Telegram to lure Taiwanese residents with promises of high-paying work. According to the case details cited in the report, the group sought to recruit victims as fraud cash mules or people willing to help move goods across borders, then planned to send them to China for organ harvesting. Authorities said the ring placed a price of 100,000 to 300,000 USDT on each victim successfully transported out of Taiwan, equivalent to roughly NT$3.15 million to NT$9.57 million. Investigators identified three victims in the case, all of whom were intercepted before departure, meaning none left Taiwan. Three minors linked to the case were transferred to juvenile court under applicable law. The investigation began after Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau reviewed communications on a teenager’s phone in a separate case and found a LINE group discussing how to move people abroad. Prosecutors later searched five locations in two rounds on May 21 and July 15, seized mobile phones and other evidence, and brought in the seven suspects. Prosecutors requested heavy sentences, asking the court to impose seven years in prison on each defendant.

Bitcoin Falls Back to the $77,000 Zone as CPI Data and a Moving-Average Golden Cross Come Into Focus

Bitcoin lost the $80,000 level after stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls data pushed rate-hike expectations higher and sent Treasury yields up, but the pullback remained smaller than in prior macro-driven selloffs. The report says BTC briefly traded near $82,000 after dovish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, then retreated toward $79,500 after August nonfarm payrolls came in at 162,000, close to three times market expectations. The probability of a rate hike rose to about 60%, while the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to 4.41%, the highest since January 2025. At the same time, spot Bitcoin ETF flows stayed supportive. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $987 million in net inflows last week, marking a third straight week of positive flows and around $3.8 billion over the past three weeks, the strongest three-week run of 2026. The piece highlights resistance around the 50-week moving average and the $82,000 to $84,000 range, with support seen between $77,000 and $78,750. BIT Asset Management’s Daniel YU said the expected 50-day and 200-day moving-average golden cross around Sept. 11 will coincide with the release window for August CPI, making this week’s CPI and PPI data central to pricing ahead of the Sept. 15-16 Federal Reserve meeting.

Crypto and market updates from Sept. 6-7: ARB supply debate, Harmony migration plan, and Liquid Network incident

A broad set of developments landed between Sept. 6 and Sept. 7 across crypto, AI, and traditional finance. PANews’ roundup included a roughly 360 billion yuan capital replenishment plan announced by eight central financial institutions in China, as well as a clarification from Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder, who said the portion of ARB still locked will fall to about 7.7% of total supply after current investor and team unlocks finish in March next year. He added that about 2.84 billion ARB is held by the Arbitrum DAO treasury and should not be treated as conventional locked supply. The update also covered protocol revenue rankings from DefiLlama, with Pons and Fomo posting higher 24-hour revenue than Hyperliquid, and Token Unlocks data showing large scheduled releases next week for APT, LINEA, CHEEL, and PEAQ. Elsewhere, Harmony proposed shutting down its mainnet launched in 2019, migrating ONE to Ethereum, and shifting toward an AI video remix business. The proposal includes wallet and staking snapshots, validator compensation, and a 2026 deadline for users to exit smart contracts that cannot be migrated. Other items included withdrawal complaints involving WOO X, a renewed public exchange between Solana co-founder Toly and Goldfeder over sequencer design and hidden transaction costs, a security incident at Liquid Network involving about 4,000 BTC, sharp declines in several Robinhood ecosystem meme tokens, and comments from Senator Cynthia Lummis that failure to pass the Clarity Act in the current Congress could delay another real chance at market structure legislation until 2030.

Week Ahead: Anthropic eyes IPO filing, U.S. August CPI and core CPI due

A packed week is on deck across macro markets, crypto infrastructure, and corporate disclosures. Anthropic is expected to release its IPO prospectus after the U.S. Labor Day holiday on Sept. 7, with a potential U.S. listing later in September or early October. In macro, the market will watch the U.S. August producer price index on Sept. 10 and the August consumer price index plus core CPI on Sept. 11, both seen as key inputs for expectations around the Federal Reserve’s September meeting. Within crypto, Ondo Finance will stop minting USDY on Aptos and Noble starting Sept. 8, while BitMart said it is working on a potential restructuring plan as an alternative to full liquidation and plans to provide an update by Sept. 9 at the latest. Coinbase International Exchange will migrate institutional clients to Deribit on Sept. 9, with about 30 minutes of downtime expected. The calendar also includes exchange delistings, project shutdowns, court developments involving Chainalysis and the U.S. government, and a series of token unlocks involving LINEA, APT, PEAQ, and CHEEL.

10 FOMO accounts on traders’ watchlists, plus the tools they use to track them

A community roundup circulating in crypto trading circles lists 10 FOMO accounts that the author says are worth watching, with each profile broken down by reported profit, trading style, posting cadence and practical follow value. The lineup includes @theunipcs, @changefomo, LaserCat397.eth2.0, @DumbCrayonEater, @himgajria, @ether_monk, @CryptoKaleo, @AvgJoesCrypto, @Salem1299534 and @fmpumpguy. The write-up points to very different approaches inside the same ecosystem. Some names are described as concentrated, high-conviction traders who move infrequently but size up hard once they commit. Others are framed as faster rotation traders, especially in hot narratives, with frequent buy and sell activity. Several entries highlight specific tokens and unrealized gains shown on FOMO pages, while the commentary repeatedly warns that copying positions one-for-one is not the same as tracking trade logic. The article also appends a FOMO tool stack. It mentions browser-based plugins and wallet lookup tools, API products for mapping handles to wallets and PnL, address reverse-search services, monitoring dashboards, execution terminals, ranking tools and a Telegram feed that surfaces trades and thesis posts. Together, the list is presented as a practical reference for users who want to monitor wallets, scan leaderboards and set up alerts or copy-trading workflows.
